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 ❤️🙏🏽
Read on to learn how to do hands-only CPR ⬇️

“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
NEW—Common #bacterial infections were the 2nd leading cause of death in 2019 and linked to 1 in 8 deaths globally, according to an analysis by @IHME_UW: hubs.li/Q01sTzjY0 #WAAW2022

Thrilled our latest work on #HIV and the #microbiome now published in @eBioMedicine tinyurl.com/ymtr3xc6
Great team with @curehiv1 Steven Shoptaw Pamina Gorbach @Mustanski Richard D’Aquila Jesse Clark Michele Kipke and @NIDAnews cohorts @uclaMstudy @radar_nu @WeAreHYM 1/n
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
“The title is “The Bad Coronavirus vs The Good Germs” by Harrison age 6. Harrison’s picture was inspired by talks with Mom about how there are good germs and bad germs, and how Mom studies good germs at her lab and takes care of patients who are sick with bad germs.” ❤️

Cool to see feature in @UCLAFSPH magazine on the COVID-19 vaccine efforts with @lapublichealth @WeAreLAHealth @ClinicaRomero. It's the story of all the many, many volunteers and that surreal all-hands-on-deck time

ID fellowship this year close to 50 spots went unfilled. #Infectiousdisease physician burned out. I’m sure everyone agrees the value of infectious disease #pandemic. Nationally salaries need to go up to value our expertise. Give student loan forgiveness. Urgent solutions needed

Our estimates on the global burden of AMR were published in @TheLancet today! More than 1.2 million people died from antibiotic resistance, eclipsing HIV or malaria. Greatest burden was seen in sub-Saharan Africa. MRSA alone was responsible for >100,000 deaths
NEW—An estimated 1.2 million people died in 2019 from antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections, more deaths than HIV/AIDS or malaria.
