www.nytimes.com/2026/01/02/w... Fantastic story. 🏃🏻‍♀️

Thoroughly enjoyed this by @paulsaxmd.bsky.social in @nejm.org blogs.nejm.org/hiv-id-obser... My in-laws often complain about the lack of physical exam by their MDs as an inadequacy. Yet my 1st year nursing student daughter is learning to use the stethoscope and sphyngomanometer in her skills lab.

www.medscape.com/viewarticle/... As a runner 🏃🏻, this seems like good news but will have to read the paper itself to understand more.

First proper ❄️ winter run this season. Very refreshing 10km.

Yes, yes I can outrun the LRT 🏃🏻‍♀️and I’m a slow runner! 😂 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... What a lovely story. 👏👏👏

At a few recent talks, I showed the overlapping distribution between level of deprivation and density of #antibiotics use using the example of England (and others from HIC). A targeted approach is needed to better support clinicians in #antimicrobialstewardship www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Three university students debating loudly in the quiet zone of the train about when to use t-test, one-way ANOVA and two-way ANOVA. Trying to memorize the rules before their exam. Fond memories for me from undergrad stats course. 🥸 TBH I didn’t understand those concepts till much later! #biostats

📣 New #Communicable drops Mon 20 Oct! @angelahuttner.bsky.social & @erinmccreary.bsky.social welcome Barbara Trautner @bwtrautner.bsky.social & Valéry Lavergne, the co-chairs of the first IDSA guidelines for complicated UTIs, to discuss this important milestone! #IDSky #UTIsky #MedSky #clinmicro

www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle... I’ve only ever done half marathons. While they were not necessarily “fun” in the physical sense, they were fun in the “look what I’ve accomplished!” 🙌sense. I aim to improve my PB each time but enjoying the journey is much more important! 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️

This brings me joy! 🐕🦮🐕‍🦺🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️🏊 www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Antimicrobial resistance is the ability of germs to evade the treatment effects of antimicrobial drugs. This JAMA Patient Page describes antimicrobial resistance, its risk factors, and how to decrease the spread of antibiotic resistance. ja.ma/46ieWAE

A remarkable and moving human interest story. The Millionaire Who Left Wall Street to Become a Paramedic www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/n...

Climate-related disasters have impacted nearly two-thirds of US drug production facilities from 2019 to 2024, highlighting vulnerabilities in the #pharmaceutical supply chain. ja.ma/470sGSI

A beautiful late afternoon run today. 🏃🏻‍♀️ Full view of Toronto by the lakefront. P.S. There is a hint of fall 🍂🍂🍂🍁🍁🍁 in the air.

Nice book for users of medical literature (clinicians), and producers of medical literature (researchers) alike. Tom and David Chivers explained statistical concepts with common examples from the news, often with humour. I LOL while listening to it on a run🏃‍♀️ www.goodreads.com/book/show/57...

Went down a small rabbit hole to refresh my understanding of case-cohort design for a project. Here is a nice review in the journal #Epidemiology, comparing case-cohort to nested case-control, which is more common. #ResearchMethods fascinates me! journals.lww.com/epidem/abstr...

Fewer than 10% of published observational studies in this sample used DAGs to justify confounder selection. This is a huge missed opportunity for both readers and researchers. DAGs are invaluable in research design and critical appraisal.

Hazy sunset due to #wildfires 🏃🏻‍♀️

Interesting study in @jamanetworkopen.com on vancomycin PO to prevent recurrent C. difficile infection. Speaks to the challenges of study design to evaluate effects of prophylaxis. I commend the authors for their efforts. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Enjoyed reading this review from @jamanetworkopen.com ! I have been providing an educational series for team members about reseach methods. We had lots of discussions about how to manage confounding in observational studies. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

@bryanpwhite.bsky.social et al: In a cohort (n=127) of OPAT patients on daptomycin 7.4 mg/kg for an average of 37 days, the rate of CK elevation was 11.8% at a median of 13 days (IQR 9-16) supporting weekly lab monitoring on daptomycin for OPAT. doi.org/10.1017/ash....

A patient’s lived experience with #cysticfibrosis www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Great review on #antimicrobialstewardship strategies related to new agents and PK/PD modelling. www.mdpi.com/2079-6382/14...

Always appreciate how lovely the Toronto summer is. 🇨🇦

This series from @nytimes.com is so educational (and frankly, frightening) for healthcare professionals. We need to listen to patients. #PatientEngagement #PatientSafety podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...

The UK COVID-19 inquiry continues to be +++educational for me. The struggle with making wide-ranging governmental policies based on ever-changing evidence, which led to rapidly evolving and sometimes conflicting recommendations is palpable. I can empathize. covid19.public-inquiry.uk/public-heari...

Second time I've baked bread ever. Decided to try this super simple vegan recipe on Canada Day! Baking bread feels like a chemistry experiment.... lovingitvegan.com/easy-no-fail...

Got a 10km Canada Day run in this morning. A bit hot and sticky but just the way I like it! 🏃🏻‍♀️ lots of fellow runners, walkers and cyclists.

Wow. What a story. #sepsis www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

An interesting notion: balancing the need to jumpstart sepsis management vs. #antimicrobialstewardship. To me, rather than characterizing it as a "tension", I would reframe it - we are on the same side to optimize care, for which we need SYSTEM-LEVEL interventions. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Hugely insightful review of #Antimicrobialstewardship in the ICU. Excellent analysis of the concept of de-escalation - be more mindful re: what antibiotics we are de-escalating with, especially the impact of anti-anaerobic options. annalsofintensivecare.springeropen.com/articles/10....

Excellent review on the importance of #antimicrobialstewardship at the end of life in from a global perspective in @thelancetinfdis.bsky.social Useful framework for clinicians suggested. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Excellent episode! Thank science for how far we have come in maternal-newborn health and infant mortality! Sanitation Obstetric care Neonatal care Screening Antibiotics Vaccines #PublicHealthSky #MedSky podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/i...

The Caregiver Toolkit is a valuable resource for patients and their loved ones navigating the transplant journey. 💡 A great resource to share with your patients and their families! 🔗

This is so lovely: www.nytimes.com/interactive/... I miss my dad everyday.

Very much enjoyed the Brahms at last evening’s performance by the #TorontoSymphonyOrchestra 🇨🇦 👏👏👏 especially the Piano Concerto No1 with Víkingur Ólafsson!

While I have been playing pickle ball consistently over the last year, running 🏃🏻‍♀️ remains my most favourite activity: green space and nature! Listen to the birdsong! Other thoughts and reflections on 🏃🏻‍♀️: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Here is an excellent, informative viewpoint comes from #antimicrobialstewardship colleagues in Alberta Health Services: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

I am involved in an initiative on #antimicrobialstewardship in nursing homes w/ #infectionprevention colleagues. UTI and asymptomatic bacteriuria are two big hitters. As I compiled resources for the NH, I came across this excellent paper from colleauges at @uhn.ca www.amjmed.com/article/S000...

Fascinating story about academic research and researchers’ behaviour. www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Rewards of a late evening run by the lake: a tranquil, beautiful sunset. That’s why I enjoy running so much!

Toronto 🇨🇦 in early summer (before it gets sticky and too hot) is glorious. 🥳 So glad the cold weather is over!
