You know your disease rebrand has been successful when the key term sees as much of an uptick in use as tell-tale words from LLM content (see alt text): www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

NEW: Bluesky is becoming place to discuss scientific research - it gets more proper engagement & attention, new study finds. For all the talk of decline - borne out by several metrics - the science community seems to have adopted Bluesky more than others. Story: www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Members of the ACCORD group are debating data visualisation options for their upcoming @ismpp.bsky.social poster.

The Clinical Trials Information System #CTIS has been designated as primary registry by the @who.int ! This designation represents a significant step forward in promoting transparency and trust in clinical research in the EU. #clinicaltrials #clinicalresearch www.ema.europa.eu/en/news/clin...

Anyone who attended this year's #CROI2025 will tell you it was a very strange experience given the current political climate. Still, plenty of interesting studies -- here's a Really Rapid Review of selected highlights. #IDSky #HIVSky blogs.jwatch.org/hiv-id-obser...

Two new cases of HIV remission after stem cell transplant for cancer reported at #CROI2025. These have become so routine that they're posters instead of oral presentations. We know an HIV cure is possible -- now we need to use clues from these rare cases to develop widely applicable approaches.

Current PubMed issues appear to be (fingers crossed) more technical than political, but good to remind yourself of the alternatives.

This afternoon! Or this morning for those in the US. Or this evening for those in AP, I guess. Either way: not many hours from now.

Always powerful to see the graph showing the impact of PEPFAR blogs.jwatch.org/hiv-id-obser...

A long post about what’s happening to the science funding agencies in the US and why. As mentioned, this one just kept getting longer even as I kept stripping curse words from it. www.science.org/content/blog...

Fascinating comment in passing there about ASCO having been spammed with AI submissions -- does anyone know anything more about that? #ISMPPeurope

The balloon debate on publication formats made for an interesting session, and clever choice of format #ISMPPeurope

Enjoying the "maintaining quality in a fast-paced world" session. I think I might actually quite enjoy a 48-hour "all the authors in a room writing the draft" challenge... #ISMPPeurope

Important update: found a stand offering Venchi. I approve even more. #ISMPPeurope

Key takeaway from the exhibition: lindor are the giveaway of choice. I approve. #ISMPPeurope

The lunch labels may have needed a proofread! #ISMPPeurope

In mice is on Bluesky as well! #ISMPPeurope

The @ismpp.bsky.social EU meeting is underway! #ismppeu2025

Some clinical trial results to look forward to this year:

Interesting piece in @mitpress.bsky.social Tech Review about #AI paternalism in healthcare. i.e. "the doctor knows best" being replaced by AI knows best, both dismissing patient experience: www.technologyreview.com/2023/04/21/1...

Ah yes, that early January "suddenly it's only three weeks to @ismpp.bsky.social why didn't I do more prep in December" feeling

On December 1, and during the surrounding weeks, individuals and organizations across the globe take a moment to reflect on those lost to HIV, those currently living with the virus and efforts and advancements to end the epidemic. #WorldAIDSDay #WAD2024 www.poz.com/article/worl...

Thanks to so many science & health experts for describing why they're here on Bluesky, and what the moves could mean for science communication and public health messaging: www.statnews.com/2024/11/21/b...

Members of the ACCORD steering committee on Bluesky (so far): @chriswinchester.bsky.social @davidit.bsky.social @amyprice.bsky.social @teranesian.bsky.social. We're working on the rest of them.

In the meantime if anyone stumbles across this account and is writing up a consensus study, I encourage you to check out ACCORD journals.plos.org/plosmedicine...

If medical professionals are making the jump over here, can #medcomms be far behind?
