🗓️Today is World #HandHygiene Day ✋🫧 🧠Did you know that you only need 20 seconds to save lives? ⏰ YES, it is as easy as cleaning your hands to prevent and control the spread of infectious diseases! 🦠 SAVE LIVES, CLEAN YOUR HANDS #Team-COACH #EU4Health

Did you know? Gloves 🧤 can get contaminated as easily as bare hands. When medical gloves are misused/overused, they may not serve as a protective equipment rather become potential means of germ transmission. Learn more 👉 bit.ly/3FXlQSy #WorldHandHygieneDay

I found my doppelgänger the person to the right.

Although this year's flu season is now ending, the dropping flu vaccination rate in children likely contributed to the highest number of pediatric deaths from flu in 15 years. Please remember this next fall when flu vaccines become available - they protect children (and adults) from severe disease.

World Hand Hygiene Day May 5th 2025 Do you really need the gloves you are wearing? Environmental Sustainability might be one more reason why you should thin before you glove. #HandHygiene

Just had a great conversation about the role of SoMe for journals with fellow editors @justinbmoorephd.bsky.social @jkopsidas.bsky.social and others. Curious how #medsky feels about the use of SoMe by journals they read. What works? What’s missing?

🤔 Here getting plenty to ponder on about use of social media for CM/ID from @jakescottmd.bsky.social at #ESCMIDglobal #ESCMID2025 I think a lot about where the future is for SM, especially how to reach our junior learners.

Public health officials are concerned about increasing polarization among Americans over vaccines.

Vaccine hesitancy has been growing in the U.S. in recent years. But as Texas measles cases rise and other states report outbreaks too, some parents want their kids to get their shots early.

Learned a new term today: Digital lobotomy …critical thinking is dying. Dependence in AI is a major problem. I can’t help but think of the humans from Wall-E. Is this our future? It’s going to take work to ensure it’s not! #MedSky #IDSky

A publishing house uses your articles to train Ai without compensating you. Then charges you to use the AI. Thoughts?

Up to 300 people are now suspected to have measles in the Texas outbreak. Most are children, 13 of whom have been hospitalized. Without vaccination, the outbreak could go on for months.
