Great blog about Emily Abdoler’s work on MedEd! medschool.umich.edu/department-n...

Check out this excellent paper by our awesome AS team!

Nice work from Marisa Miceli in the Division.

Great to work with the always awesome Terry Dermody on this chapter in PPID 10th edition and retire my 5th edition from fellowship.

And if you like: - world-renowned pharmacists - field-leading microbiologists - top-notch, innovative stewardship (join my track! 🤗) - mind-blowing tx ID cases - brilliant IPE - fun colleagues - dedicated allergy service for PCN allergy!!! (🥇, the real draw) It’s not too late to apply at U-M :-)

He’s had a lot of legendary ones, but this is perhaps the best post by Dr. Sax I’ve read. Heartbreaking though it is at times.

Super proud of our fellows. Three talks at IDweek this year. Marc Trubin on education work with Emily Abdoler, Matt Steinberger on stewardship work with with Tejal Gandhi and Lindsay Petty. Recent fellow and current faculty Louis Saravolatz on his recent paper in CID!

This is what leadership looks like 👇

The head of HHS said he’d preserve ACIP. Then he fired the entire committee. Now a new panel -- with mostly unclear expertise in clinical trials, vaccines, and ID -- is in place. Time for high alert for changes that could seriously affect public health. #IDSky blogs.jwatch.org/hiv-id-obser...

Here's a write-up from the Michigan Engineering! cse.engin.umich.edu/stories/clin...

One of the great things about ID at UMich is there are hundreds of people doing ID research across campus, which allows for great interdisciplinary collaborations like this one from Krishna Rao (ID) and Jenna Wiens (Engineering) jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

A great night celebrating our talented and hardworking ID fellows, including 3 who are graduating and the winner of the coveted “Green Tapeworm” Award (yes there is one in the trophy in fixative)! #IDsky
