I’m sorry but ID Week is now almost $1,500?!

Why do I like Infectious Diseases? Because which other specialty could force the entire world to learn a new word every few years?

Check out our paper on the duration of antibiotic therapy for postoperative spinal implant infections.

I need some sort of half day summary of the entire #ESCMIDGlobal2026

Oh are we in again with Surviving Sepsis guidelines? #IDSky

My NIH proposal was discussed and scored. Apparently, that’s an achievement in itself. #AcademicSky

Opinion unpopular to doctors and patients: Unnecessary tests, procedures and treatments happen all the time in the healthcare. Case in point: daily blood tests. #MedSky

Does levofloxacin 250mg still treat anything nowadays? Our institution uses this dose for neutropenia prophylaxis. Or is this basically placebo at this dose. #IDSky @ebhirsch.bsky.social @zacrobid.bsky.social @mmpharmd.bsky.social @idiots-pod.bsky.social

Look at these cuties. Salute

It’s Match Week. Did you know that there are two Match Days? One for IMGs and one for US grads. IFYYK. #MedSky

Is there a new MERINO for Esbl? #IDSky

If AI can cure cancer, why do i still need to unplug the computer when there’s an error?

I didn’t realize being in Academics mean you have to so full of yourself. What do you mean I have to write 4 pages about myself other than what’s in my CV for promotion? #MedSky #IDSky

Did #IDSky talk about this yet?? @bradspellberg.bsky.social @boghuma.bsky.social @dralicehan.bsky.social

#IDSky Do you always remove a port if a patient has MSSA bacteremia even if it’s not the source? What’s the evidence for us recommending universal removal?

And then remember this: The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. - Nemik’s Manifesto, Andor

What’s up with @skylight.social ? Is it happening now that TikTok is dying?

TikTok is censoring anti-ICE content under its new right wing owner. Delete TikTok.

Oral therapy champions, do you recommend oral antibiotics for enterococcal endocarditis? What do you do with the supposed “synergistic” ceftriaxone? #IDSky

#IDSky who’s hallucinating here? Me or OpenEvidence? It’s say there’s no such thing as E avium.

I read somewhere that people are so crappy now because we don’t put them in their place. This changed my brain chemistry permanently. #PutPeopleInTheirPlace2026

I’m excited to give a test again to trainees and students. It’s gonna be multiple choice. Right minus wrong. #IDSky #MedSky

I’m giving a quiz to trainees. It’s called organism or magic spell. #IDSky

Epic presentation of nominees for Game of the Year at Game Awards 2025

Tired and old posts about low pay in ID loading in 3…… 2……. 1…… #IDSky

ATL Airport, you need help.

Fine. Jumping on the wagon. #IDSky @idweek.bsky.social

Drama! #IDSky

#IdSky private practice folks, if patients are uninsured, will you still get paid for the consult and follow-up?

First time I’m hearing surgeons refuse performing surgeries on people on GLP1.

Holy crap. Google AI saying Bactrim (TMP-SMX) can treat Candida and fungal meningitis. Lol at AI taking my job. #IDSky

LOUDER to the people at the back. #IDSky

Infections are as deadly and debilitating as cancer. Society minimize infections under this false assumption and gets shocked at their prognosis when they get infected. #IDSky

One day of 4 out of 4 blood cultures bottles from diabetic foot infection. TTE poor study. Proceed with TEE? #IDSky

Where did people get the idea to do metronidazole 4x a day for CnS dOsInG? #IDSky

Oral switch champions, would you switch to cefpodoxime from ceftriaxone if Ecoli is intermediate to cefazolin? #IDSky

I don’t see the point in posting journal article links here without providing any commentary or context. #MedSky #IDSky

Relying solely on studies from other countries risks producing findings that may not be generalizable to American patients. Even studies conducted in other high-income countries might not fully apply to the U.S. context. U.S. centers should continue joining international multi center studies. #IDSky

It’s maddening that @idsainfo.bsky.social is still using the Bluesky domain. 🤦‍♂️#IDSky

How do you list posters abstracts that has been presented and published? Separately? #AcademicSky #IDSky

What is your duration of therapy for Strep endocarditis with aortic root abscess but underwent root repair and replacement? #IDSky

We've been sleeping. We've had each other, and Ferrix, our work, our days. We had each other and they left us alone. We kept the trade lane open, and they left us alone. We took their money and ignored them, we kept their engine churning, and the moment they pulled away. we forgot them.

We don’t need to de-escalate antibiotic therapy. We need to optimize antibiotic therapy. #IDSky #MedSky

Non lasciatevi rubare la speranza. Don’t let your hope be stolen. -Pope Francis

Amazing. US centers will wait for this practice-changing research. Who’s willing to bet that there will be no significant difference? #IDSky

#IDSKy ! Why do some clinicians insist on using ceftriaxone or gentamicin for treating Enterococcus endocarditis and genuinely believe there’s clinical evidence supporting their use?

Can #TXIDSky explain if viral, bacterial, fungal prophylaxis really work? I’ve seen providers give all three for almost all blood cancer chemo.

So I missed something? GI trends ascitic fluid cell count now? Where did this come from? #IDSky #MedSky
