Today in #TheScienceImReading: a great implementation science publication that takes us on a philosophical journey through what ‘generalizable’ really means. If you’re studying the impact of dx tests, please read this paper. #IDSky #ClinMicroSky www.linkedin.com/posts/andrea...

Dying for beauty: Tuberculosis (TB) shaped the Romantic ideal—delicate, ethereal and tinged with mortality. Examine how TB influenced Romantic Period fine arts and how that influence is felt today. asm.org/articles/202...

In this new ASM/JCM publication, we summarize discussions from the 2024 Clin Micro Open Conference, with a focus on the application of AI in clin micro. We include a review of established & emergent AI tools, potential benefits, & challenges. journals.asm.org/doi/epub/10.... #IDSky #ClinMicro

1/ Can’t get over the energy I feel from the session I was fortunate enough to help moderate at the bioMérieux North American meeting this morning. Alongside my co-moderator (the incredible Lauren Hunt, PharmD, BCIDP), we led a session focused on being inspired by purpose in medicine.

#IDsky! Have you seen all of the articles from the healthcare sustainability series? academic.oup.com/jpids/pages/...

Happy Friday! A new episode is now available. Have you performed a D-test in the lab? What is it for? Tune in for a great episode about lincosamides and macrolides. Download it today! Link in comments. @andreaprinzi.bsky.social #microbiology #podcast

New episode alert! #microbiology @andreaprinzi.bsky.social

#IDSky #ClinMicro

We talk a lot about the importance of dx stewie for quality, & improved outcomes -- but what about sustainability? In this new manuscript, we discuss greening practices in research, clinical micro & veterinary across the 🌍 #IDSky #ClinMicro @ofidjournal.bsky.social academic.oup.com/ofid/advance...

"Working at the bench in the clinical micro lab was the coolest thing I've ever done...it's why I'm any good at what I do today -- that's a fact." ~ Andrea Prinzi Thx so much to Drs. Eli Theel, Alex McAdam & Alexandrs Bryson for the fun convo 🔬 #Microsky #IDsky podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...

If you find yourself speaking to the media/public about polio or measles, remember to say there are no treatments or cures. If you’re infected you can be paralyzed or die. #medsky #idsky

Today’s #SciComm is right in line with this post on the ESBL confirmation dilemma: asm.org/Articles/202... #ClinMicro #IDSky

The Colorado Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute at @cuanschutz.bsky.social is now on Bluesky! Follow us for #funding opportunities, educational and training programs, and all things #research. Learn how we're improving health through research: https://cctsi.cuanschutz.edu/

Almost a month after joining the site, we have over 90 clinical microbiologists in the "Clinical Microbiology" starter pack! While not quite the atmospheric rise of the #IDSky group, we'll keep recruiting! Please share and let your #clinmicro colleagues know how to find us when they arrive!

100% this. My heart aches deeply over all that is lost when we lose/forget/abandon the art of writing.

"Given the clinical presentation and symptoms reported, and a number of associated deaths, acute pneumonia, influenza, COVID-19, measles and malaria are being considered as potential causal factors with malnutrition as a contributing factor." Update on outbreak unfolding in DRC" #IDSky #MedSky

Wow, that was a fun project! End of Week 4, my thought? #IDSky is here to stay. What do you think? Post numbers have been high and stable. Engagement has also been great as well. 1/5

Happy Friday! A new episode is now available. The AMR series continues as we tackle another class: oxazolidinones. Download it today! Link in comments. @andreaprinzi.bsky.social #microbiology

Day 4/ 33 of #SciComm: Did you know Malaria used to be endemic in the US? Recent cases have raised concerns about future outbreaks, climate change & the possibility of sustained transmission in areas where the disease is no longer considered to be endemic. #IDSky #ClinMicro asm.org/articles/202...

Day 3/33 of #SciComm: We have come a long way in managing bacterial meningitis (e.g., from bloodletting & mercury to successful vaccines & abx). Several things support its persistence=lack of access to care, war, poor living conditions. Read more here: #IDSky #ClinMicro asm.org/articles/202...

Day 2 in my 33 day #SciComm sharing event: The history of polio, from its ancient origins to its near eradication, illustrates the profound impact of scientific advancement, public health initiatives & global collaboration. Also: Vaccines save lives #IDSky #ClinMicro asm.org/articles/202...

Donated!! Help be the change you wish to see in the world 👇 Team #meal-ioidosis #IDSky #Clinmicro

"1 in 5 kids in the United States is living with hunger. That's nearly 14 million children, which has increased from a year ago." Join me in donating to @nokidhungry.bsky.social for #HCWvsHunger under team #meal-ioidosis . We are currently in 6th place. C'mon #IDSky let's go!

Don’t Take This The Wrong Way… What’s on the site? ✅ Clear explanations about AMR and why it matters. ✅ Practical tips to use antibiotics responsibly. ✅ Real-life patient stories and powerful statistics to inspire action. donttakethiswrong.org #AMSsky #IDsky #MicroSky

It's 33 days until the new year & so begins my 33 days of #Scicomm- a mash up of some of my #IDSky and #ClinMicro comms pieces. Day 33 = "Winter is Coming: Cold Weather Infections Past and Present" Read more to explore cold weather infections (& why) plus some weird history asm.org/articles/202...

Good explainer of how #HCWvsHunger works Donate to a food bank of your choice Go to HCWvsHunger.org to log the donation; pick a team for the amount to be tallied under (go #Meal-ioidosis!) Cheer your team & encourage your friends (peer pressure but for good!) We all win! #MedSky #IDSky

Thanks @nirapollock.bsky.social for making this so we can find each other. This space is inclusive of anyone working in the infectious diseases clinical lab space (all pathogens) + those focused on diagnostic research, development, implementation #ClinMicro

Why did scarlet fever used to be such a dangerous disease, and why (although the burden of disease is far less than in years past) do outbreaks continue to occur, even after the development of penicillin? #IDSky #MicroSky #SciComm #ClinMicro youtu.be/zhf4tTaRsIY

Thank you to ASM for inviting me back to the ASM Studio for a Ted Talk style presentation on the history of Yellow Fever in the US! We need to remember our ID history-- vaccines & public health interventions save and improve lives! #IDSky #Microbe #InfectiousDiseases youtu.be/FZhTfgNp2vY?...

OMG I'm thrilled to see you all on here!!! #IDSky #Microbe #InfectiousDiseases

For #WorldTBDay, re-sharing this piece I wrote with American Society for Microbiology detailing the sordid history and present global status of Tuberculosis--- and what ending the disease looks like in the face of antimicrobial resistance. #ASMHealth asm.org/Articles/202...

I think that these mixed cultures are beautiful and mysterious @univpugetsound @ASMicrobiology

From PIDS: Our January PIDS-SHARPS session was rescheduled to next week, Feb 22, @ 1pm ET. You can register now for 'Updating antimicrobial susceptibility test breakpoints: Challenges & Considerations' presented by Andrea Prinzi. societycentral.zoom.us/meeting/regi...
