The newly redesigned #InfectiousDose website is live. 🦠
I’ve spent the last few weeks rebuilding it to make the growing archive easier to explore—and to give all the different corners of Infectious Dose a proper home.
A quick tour 🧵
A fungus appears in hospitals on different continents.
You assume it started somewhere and spread.
Then scientists sequence it.
And discover that the story is much stranger.

A campfire.
A drink in hand.
And a mosquito with plans of her own.

Hearing about Alpha Gal syndrome in the US at the @ASMicrobiology Microbe meeting in DC
Not an infection really but tick borne and can lead to meat allergy - yes it's weird

A virus that became evidence.

Tuesday’s #InfectiousDose episode will be a deep dive into Ebola — what it is, how it spreads, why outbreaks happen, and why the virus occupies such a unique place in public imagination.
I’m also opening the Hot Zone Hotline:

This is an excellent article by Dr. @PathogenScribe 🔥
It's 20-min read, so it may feel long. However, I assure you will appreciate the precision and care in wording THAAAAATTT MUCH‼️. #Hantavirüs

Lots of questions in the comments, so this week’s episode includes a discussion on what these definitions are for, how they get misunderstood, and how operational thresholds get mistaken for biological laws. Fully cited.

I don’t think “prolonged close contact” is what people think it is. In epidemiology it’s being within 6 ft for cumulative 15 minutes in a 24 hour period.
This week, #InfectiousDose brings you a new
#OutbreakAfterDark:
This time on the worst (& grossest) infection treatments in history.
With a menu that’s significantly safer & cocktails you’ll actually want.

Each week, after I finish an episode, there’s always at least one idea I can’t let go of.
Not the headline. Not the story.
Something underneath it.
So I started a short, free weekly newsletter to follow that thread a little further.
It’s called Field Notes.
