@DrJeanneM @DoctorRachael @MollyFleece @bhamjwalk Years ago someone cultures P cepacia from branded Betadine, learned later that diluting concentrated Betadine with H20 eliminated the problem, something to do with releasing free iodine in the diluted solution. Wondering if this observation is related to the contaminated PineSol.

@dr_arghadip @Ana_Alastruey @FarhanFazal10 @FungalDoc we generally get around the TDM issue if using the DR formulation of posa rather than the suspension

I wonder if specimen preparation leads to poor recovery of pathogens. Whole tissue vs ground up specimens seem to make an important difference in culture positivity. #OpenMyc

what are the dat suggesting higher airborne spore counts in India. Is this real or assumed?#OpenMyc

we have recently seen 5 crypto cases post CoVID. Most have done well clinically #OpenMyc

@realDonaldTrump Please spare me this...

@theguywithyes What a powerful image. Good luck as you each pursue your careers. This is a beginning, not an end. I hope you all of your dreams come to fruition!

@GermHunterMD @TheLancetInfDis Interesting case, although not truly a ‘normal’ host. Chronic renal insufficiency counts. Agree that we’ve only seen this in SOT recipients.

@medrants @thecurbsiders @uabimres Totally agree. I ask our trainees on consults to start their oral presentations with: “We are asked to see this patient for the following reason/s....”

@boulware_dr @uabmedicine Fantastic visit this week with David Boulware, bringing a wealth of expertise pertaining to crypto and tb. Great lessons from Uganda, and we particularly value the way in which his group gives back to those they serve. Amazing operation! Amazing insights! Thanks for sharing Dave

Today is the first day of the Advent fast, ending On Christmas Day December 25. Great time to slow down, eat less ( not more) get centered, focus on the season rather than all the noise and distractions surrounding us. Hoping for a wonderful advent season leading to the Nativity!

@JayBarker7 @kanyewest @AlabamaFTBL @LSUfootball Sorry @JayBarker7, finding it hard as a believer to anoint Kanye who professes “no more drugs, all I need is p——y and religion”

@LisaWillett13 @SonyaHeathMD Really proud of Sonya. She’s worked incredibly hard, is a great example to her peers and our younger faculty. Tremendous perseverance and work ethic. Congratulations!

@boulware_dr @IDIMakerere @MatinasBio This is a terrific opportunity to provide an innovative new approach to CM. Potential for a paradigm shift especially in low resource countries with limited access to care. Imagine the potential impact of po AmB! Hope this trial demonstrates some promising data. Good luck!

@jobadd Wonderful!

Very nice session at TIMM examining clinical trial design in mycology. Consensus is that validated biomarkers are the key to efficient enrollment and, optimally, to determine patient outcome. Candida lagging way behind IA, crypto and endemics. We need candida diagnostics now!

@AlisaPeinhardt @FungalDoc @PergamIC @MSG_ERC @DrFungus_MSGERC @GermHunterMD @GRThompsonMD @CornelyOliver @davidrandes @TMcCarty2010 @jobadd @Belen10 @DrLuisO @doctorfungus The MSGERC Biennial Meeting Sept 22-25, 2020, great venue for developing clinical trial concepts, get FTF input from many of the world’s experts. It is interactive and fun. A very valuable meeting for the promotion of clinical mycology research. Perfect for clinical researchers.

@8498mars @FLOTUS @realDonaldTrump @boyscouts @NatlParkService Hmmm....let’s see. BTW it’s Teton National Park. Let’s start with ignoring climate change and denying man’s contribution to it, an attitude towards the natural world that ignores stewardship as our collective responsibility. We must lead, not just watch. Denial is not an option.

Wonderful job by Marisa Miceli and John Perfect reviewing Top Papers in Mycology.
