Ever since I learned about this study enrolling I have been eagerly awaiting the results. Researchers in Uganda took a centuries-old cultural practice mothers carrying babies on their backs in cloth wraps and turned it into a public health tool. You got to love it! www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Dr. Michael Herce discusses this concept and how it works to improve access to healthcare for populations who have been disproportionately burdened by various infectious diseases such as HIV, tuberculosis, and COVID-19. @uncglobalhealth.bsky.social #IDsky #Medsky

Justice Sotomayor is crystal clear in dissent as to what's happening: "We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent."

The great @maclomaclee.bsky.social on the future of journal articles: as the numbers of journals, articles increase, the value of the information they provide diminishes or depreciates. Discrete actions can help sustain the value as an economic (and moral?) good @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social #CAMARADES

Just came across this preprint: groups at @broadinstitute.org and MGH developed a low-cost, #CRISPR based diagnostic for pathogenic bacteria and #AMR genes from blood cultures.

As the trump administration dials back surveillance for and prevention of infectious diseases guess what the biggest threat to our health systems is right now? That's right, infectious diseases.

Joseph Eron, MD, provides insights on their international reach as well as some of the important trials they have been involved in, notably the PURPOSE studies involving the landmark trials around #lenacapavir for HIV prevention. #IDsky #Medsky

Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."

I'm tired of playing nice. I've been talking to Joe Jacobson from Progressive Action Fund about creating an ad targeting vulnerable members of Congress on cuts to scientific research at NIH and other agencies. I've raise about $30,000 for this but we need $50K. 1/ secure.actblue.com/donate/paf20...
