Is there no @IDFellowsCup this year?

[Gavin Sowa @gavin_sowa]

@PaulSaxMD It all makes sense when you think of it as a billing system, and not an EMR

[Gavin Sowa @gavin_sowa]

I used to be very excited about AI writing my notes, but the ones I've seen so far are not very good. AI is good at generating a lot of text that says very little. I'd prefer 3 precise sentences to a page of slop.

@arthurlee @evernote @bendingspoons @obsdmd Thanks for the rec! I’ve really been enjoying @obsdmd so far. The export/import was reasonably painless. There are features that I like (ex multiple windows) that we lost in Evernote several versions ago.

[Gavin Sowa @gavin_sowa]

@evernote has been my go to note taking app since med school. Ever since they were purchased by @bendingspoons the price has doubled annually and it has been bloated by AI junk. Just cleaned up and exported my ~2K notes. Thinking about @obsdmd , but looking for alternatives

Sometimes success in academia looks like 7 outlook accounts

@DGlaucomflecken It seems not every problem can be fixed with ancef and admit to medicine

Might be a good time to pivot to “Brain worm” research 🧠🪱

RFK Jr pushes for ‘break’ in infectious diseases research https://t.co/OnBGmHQju6 WTF?? I was worried we could go low but not this low!

[WikiGuidelines @Wiki_Guidelines]

@bukkytab I’m so sorry to hear this. Being on the other side of MyChart is eye opening.

Super excited to share our paper on secondary bacterial pneumonia in patients with COVID-19 - out in Nat Comms! https://t.co/QR2Bga9aPH

What a rockstar! :-)

Terrific job by @NU_IntMed @McGawGME medical resident, Dr. Minji Kim sharing her work on Mpox virus, immunization considerations, & treatment outcomes at @IDWeekmtg #IDWeek2024

Viewpoint by @BradSpellberg describes allowing for hospital staff discretion regarding strict adherence to policy vs best interest of the patient. https://t.co/m7FcATPTnv

@wavy_rays You’re making me nostalgic. I do prefer reading on paper, and I’m a sucker for good cover art. Plus, who is responsible for backing up the online only stuff? What happens if the journal goes under?

[Gavin Sowa @gavin_sowa]

@wavy_rays One of the many lessons not learned during the pandemic

[Gavin Sowa @gavin_sowa]

@wavy_rays Is it speed, formatting, or something else that bothers you?

[Bukky Tabiti, MD @bukkytab]

Not only do I love #hematology I also love #medEd and teaching about #SDOH… as a future fellow and hematologist I plan to bridge these two loves! Actively collecting data on SDOH and leukemia outcome! Can’t wait to share that next! #NMH #inauguralhealthequitypostersession

@GermHunterMD Seems like an omission to mention the @idpuscast1 without explicitly naming Mark Crislip. The OG podcast started in 2005!
