In addition to #IDMastadon and #medmastadon, #IDtwitter, and #linkedin, I have joined Post News and will be (trying) to regularly post #scicomm content there. It allows for longer formats, so I will probably be moving my literature (study) breakdowns or longer blog posts there. If interested, check out my first post:

Despite platform issues, no reason to shun great content on #twitter

Excellent thread on what we know re #GroupAStrep so far and papers published on how challenging it is to stop transmission #IDMastadon #MedMastodon #microbiology

Ever wondered how effective boric acid is at preventing urine bacterial growth?🤔

Black = inoculum
Colours = each make of boric acid container

Data good for most bacteria over 24 hours.... 👏

Free HIV self-tests in MSM population do get taken up and result in more HIV tests performed.

No increase in case detection here, but shows strategy could work in other populations.

Immunotherapy for parvovirus - needed more type I IFN!

Individual was apparently 'immunocompetent' but makes you wonder re IFN deficiency (genetic inborn error of immunity or presence of anti-IFN auto Ab). 🤔#IDMastadon #immunotherapy #immunology #virus #persistence #interferon

Hi there! I guess I should do a quick intro. My name is Shawn, and I am an HIV, Hepatitis, and ID Clinical Specialty Pharmacist at the ID Clinic with Ascension St. John Hospital in MI. Previously, I was the Pharmacy Lead for the Antimicrobial Stewardship Program at St. Luke's University Health Network in PA.

Additional interests are in diagnostics, antimicrobial resistance/stewardship, and the role information technology can play in improving healthcare.

Nice to meet everyone!

In this new American Society for Microbiology article, I explore the history, transmission, & management of Ebola. I highlight recent outbreaks, clinical trials in Africa that have led to vaccines and other therapeutics, & the importance of equitable access to care.

I am finding the tab function in #Tusky to be helpful for following my hashtags. Similar to following a hashtag, but I have separate columns for it (not just within my homefeed).

Agreed! Where are all our #HospitalMedicine teammates???

RT @KarynDoc
Side note: no idea if this is random side effect of who I first started following, but #IDMastadon seems to be taking OFF here.

Where are my #hospitalist peeps at?
