I know first-hand how important Infectious Disease (ID) physicians are in a public health crisis. Yet, 80% of U.S. counties do not have an ID physician. To protect our nation’s public health, we must break down the barriers that stop medical students from becoming ID physicians.

Our latest is out in @J_Immunol! This was a fun little project where we explored how dysfunctional monocytes contribute to NK cell activation in severe COVID-19. We used a combination of computational exploration and in vitro validation experiments!

The prayers for #DamarHamlin are beautiful, but @NFL, please also consider spending 2 minutes before tomorrow’s games showing a demo of hands-only #CPR & encouraging viewers to learn. With your audience, this could save lives ❤️🙏🏽

“We, [ID] doctors, are becoming a finite resource because people can’t financially make it work. They’re burnt out and their reward is, ‘Here, we’re going to pay you less,’ says IDSA Past President Daniel McQuillen, MD, FIDSA (@McQHoya81) about potential #Medicare payment cuts.

Which bacteria represent the most urgent threat to health? And how does this vary by region? Our estimates in @TheLancet try to address these questions @IHME_UW

Bottom 9. 2 outs. 3-2 count. The moment Cal ended a 21-year drought.

How can you not be romantic about baseball?

Collectively, our data showed that gut microbiome changes do not occur in early HIV but may suggest a role for the gut #microbiome and #inflammation in #HIV susceptibility – an exciting area for more research! 7/n

👉💊 Take note, HAART is an antiquated and redundant term, and no longer has clinical relevance. All antiretroviral therapy used nowadays is "highly active", so the term ART is preferred instead. #IDTwitter #MedTwitter #FOAMed
