"We urge UN member states to prioritize empowering health care professionals, inform governance and coordination of responses to AMR, and ensure that high level decisions reflect best available science and meet the needs of patients and public health,” said IDSA Treasurer Max Brito MD, MPH, FIDSA, (@mobrito05) during today's @UN hearing on #AMR.

Chairman of @HouseAppropsGOP Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education @Robert_Aderholt understands the #valueofID.

Thank you, Chairman Aderholt, for your support.

Patients with serious infections who are cared for by an ID physician have better outcomes, shorter hospital stays & lower healthcare costs, shares @RepRaulRuizMD during today's @HouseAppropsGOP and @AppropsDems "Member Day" hearing.

Thank you for your leadership in urging Congress to fund the Bio-Preparedness Workforce Pilot Program, Rep. Ruiz. #ValueofID

@Abcdefg45851761 @CantStopTruth2 @BiggBoss_Tak I dont think she's good from the heart at all. She has bullied the most people this season, she has talked in the most ill terms about others, she has tried to put poison in peoples ears, etc. She is a classic example of a mean girl who acts innocent and like she's the victim.

[Rabita Aziz @AzR86]

@CantStopTruth2 @BiggBoss_Tak I dont get it either, unless these people just love fake, shrill, talentless, overly dramatic and spoiled adult children.

[Rabita Aziz @AzR86]

@TheKhabriTweets Salman himself has crossed all the limits this season. Berating some contestants for minor things while letting others who did much worse (Mannara) go free, now harassing contestants family members?? He's lost all credibility, the show needs a new host.

Thank you @RepDelBene and your fantastic staff for a great conversation on the importance of the #IDWorkforce and tackling #AntimicrobialResistance for #Washington and the whole US @AzR86

[Rabita Aziz @AzR86]

@KinnaThakarar @IDSAInfo @Drbenderignacio Love this! Next year we'll have you get you all a skull and crossbones pin to wear to the Hill 😂 excited to work more closely with you and @Drbenderignacio on advocacy!

[Rabita Aziz @AzR86]

@AO3_Status I can't sleep without reading my beloved fanfic on my beloved AO3 😢 really really appreciate all you volunteers for working so hard to bring things back online! I'll donate and never take AO3 for granted again ❤️

Thank you @SenatorBaldwin for your leadership to help recruit infectious diseases health care professionals in the areas where they are needed most by supporting our field with student loan repayment. #ValueofID

[Rabita Aziz @AzR86]

@DrJeanneM talks about how the infectious diseases workforce is in crisis - ID professionals have a lot of roles, a lot of challenges and work with a lot of people yet are among the lowest paid of medical specialists. We need loan repayment! #axiosevents @IDSAInfo @HIVMA

@lisse826 Nooooooo!!

[IDSA @IDSAInfo]

Today at the @UN multi stakeholder meeting on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response, IDSA submitted a statement urging UN member states to:

⭐️strengthen global surveillance
⭐️build LMIC capacity to manufacture medical countermeasures
⭐️prioritize equitable access to drugs, vaccines and PPE during outbreaks

@AzR86

[IDSA @IDSAInfo]

Clinicians and researchers who focus on combatting infectious diseases are grateful for the leadership and contributions of Dr. Rochelle Walensky (@RWalensky) during her tenure leading the @CDCgov. She took on the challenge of leading the nation’s public health agency at a crucial time during the COVID-19 pandemic and her leadership saved lives. 

Her most notable public health accomplishment at CDC was leading the rapid and efficient rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine to hundreds of millions of Americans, with a priority on safety and equity.

Dr. Walensky’s efforts to modernize CDC and ensure the nation’s future health preparedness will be an important legacy. #WeAreID
