So wonderful to see Dr. Allison McGeer recognized for her vital work during health emergencies, while also relentlessly advocating for excellence in public health, infectious diseases research, and clinical care. Thank you Dr. McGeer. #OrderofCanada

This is long over due. An international authority in her field, and as her former PhD student, I also want to highlight how generous and kind she is especially to her trainees. I always felt that I had her undivided attention and relentless support despite a million demands on her time.

Congratulations to the indefatigable microbiologist Dr. Allison McGeer on her appointment to the #OrderofCanada. From SARS to flu to COVID and antimicrobial resistance, she is advancing science through her research, and promoting scientific literacy with her media appearances.

If you see me at your bedside fighting for my life it's because I was too impatient to wait for the elevators and took the stairs several stories

I've been following Cambridge, MA artist Julia Powell on social media for a while and just noticed 6 months into my fellowship that her art work is displayed in the main lobby of the ID Clinic area

Happy birthday! 🤩

Everytime the responding clinician writes an H&P that hits all critical points for ID I commend them for it like thank you for making my life easier today 👏 the extra time you spent writing a helpful note is seen and appreciated

Being born on a major holiday makes you sort of main character if that makes sense. We can't help it
