Today my clinic RN Melissa is moving on to greener pastures. We started the #NTM oncology clinic 5.5y ago @ @moffittnews.bsky.social from scratch & it’s a huge success all because of her. Superb people like her make #healthcare better. Good luck my friend. 👩🏻‍⚕️ cc: @usfidfellowship.bsky.social #IDSky

Won’t be at #IDWeek this year,but looking forward to seeing everybody’s posts! cc: @idsainfo.bsky.social 💪😎

Chaired my first PhD committee yesterday. Had been a voting member 4x before, but this was a different experience. Was able to help guide a now junior colleague on the path of #academia. Loved getting back to the science. #IDSky #MedSky 😎

NTM Clinic was tough today…helped some people out though. #IDSky

This x ♾️. #IDSky

We kind of knew this would be a problem…

Good morning! Livin’ the dream…stomping out disease. 😉🩺💊 #IDSky

When you forget your #coffee at home, but then you remember that there is a Latino Cafe in your hospital. Cortado to go. 😉☕️ #IDSky

www.legacy.com/us/obituarie... He was one of my mentors at #UFCOM; he was an expert in pk/pd and antibiotics. One of brightest minds I have known and one of the best physician-scientists. He was an AMAZING person as well and a great soul. I wish him Godspeed. #idsky 😔

Let’s see if the executive branch abides by this ruling. 😒

This will also worsen folks going into less lucrative subspecialties like ID…again another threat facing our craft and our future… #IDSky

Sigh…we truly are headed into medievalism here #idsky

There is nothing like a #morninghike to get back in touch with nature. ☺️🪵🌲#virginia

#Tranquility 🏞️

My god…

Super cool…would hypothesize that this occurs in #NTMs as well. 😎 #tbsky

Infectious Diseases Pharmacists Day is Thursday! Join the chat here 5/22 12-1PMEST help us celebrate the amazing work ID pharmacists do every day. #IDPharmacistsDay, #SIDPAdvocacy, #PharmacistsLeadingChange @sidpharm.bsky.social @accpinfdprn.bsky.social

Small victories add up to a good day…especially when you are helping patients, fighting the good administrative fight and instructing learners. I will take the win today. 😎 #idsky #medsky

Super cool… #IDSky #TBSky

Effective mentoring reminds us to stay open to continuous learning so we can better guide our mentees forward.

#Change is Darwinian…change is good for us as humans. Teaches us new things and improve systems. Obstructive constipators inhibit change and make it harder. This makes sticking with an organization tougher, especially if you are an agent of change. Without adaptation, we will never grow. #IDSky 🤔

#StarWars is more than just a show or movie. It brings with it a lot of lessons that I use in my daily practice of #mentoring and how impactful it can be. Yoda’s quote below is a testament to that. #MaytheFourthBeWithYou #IDSky #MedSky

Great read…shows the line between #MTB and the #NTMs is a blurred one. We can learn much from these pathogens as how they cause human disease. #IDSky

Had a great time the past 6 months being the mentor for the USF #Medifutures Program! Of course we focused on #NTM! These guys did a great job and now will mentor them moving forward in their careers! #medsky #IDSky 👨🏻‍⚕️🩺🦠

It’s #WorldMalariaDay The good news: 2.2 billion #malaria cases and 12.7 million deaths have been averted since 2000. The bad news: after years of steady declines, progress has stalled. bit.ly/MalariaDay2025

#WorldMalariaDay reminds us that there are still millions (mainly children) who die each year of malaria and they more research needs to be done to eliminate this malady which has changed human evolution like no other pathogen. 👨🏻‍⚕️🩸🌎🌍🌏

Gotta love #TedLasso…well said my friend. ☺️

Three weeks in a row. No new funding opportunities at NIH.

WHO launches an update on the consolidated guidelines to diagnose #tuberculosis createsend.com/t/d-CCE83795...

Maybe that’s due to the lower density of soil particles in lentic water since Aeromonads are highly associated with floating particles/plancton? By the way, Aeromonas ssp. are ubiquitous in all kind of soil, fresh, estuary and salty water. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2080966/

Intriguing…

Hope is a powerful thing. When we are exhausted, make time to reflect on the journey. Leadership is challenging and we don’t have to go it alone. Recharge by spending time with peers who remind you of your why. Change happens one step at a time - keep going together 🌱

Had a great time being a panelist at @uoftampa.bsky.social for their Pre-Medical Society…met other physicians from many parts of FL and got to tell premed students my journey… 😎🩺👨🏻‍⚕️ #medsky #idsky

#ESCMIDGlobal year in ID. Sumarry#1

This ♾️. Been contemplating this for years since I was at @ucsdhealthsci.bsky.social…this will only get worse with climate change. #fungalsky #idsky 😮🩺🩻🍄‍🟫

Rough day on consults, and had all kinds of other stuff go wrong today. Regardless, it’s good to see the sunshine at the end of the day…🌅 #medsky #idsky
