Hey @gdadvocate looks like your @x account has been hacked. Or is this legit?
One of my most visited bookmarks is when Paul Farmer @PIH did his @Reddit #AMA. Just as a reminder to keep fighting the long defeat! reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/r…

Thanks @CISFAirport for the amazing work in keeping huge lines moving and keeping us safe. Appreciate the wonderful work! Thank you for all that you do, everyday!
Good to see predatory conferences have taken the game up a notch by accepting submissions never made.
Yikes.
Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary 15 years? Really? Wow. That’s a long time. Wonder how many people have been on for 15+ years. What proportion of people who signed up in the early years stayed on.
Today is One Health Day. People, animals, and the environment share one health. When we work together, we stop diseases and create a safer world. Learn more. Join the effort to protect our shared future. #OneHealthDay #PublicHealth.
Grades don’t mean a thing. Grade inflation is real. And an A grade means nothing if everyone gets it.

This sounds great. But resistance is inevitable if used indiscriminately. Narratives such as 100x stronger is detrimental to the cause of antimicrobial stewardship.
A newly discovered antibiotic is 100X stronger against superbugs and so far shows no signs of resistance, per a new Journal of the American Chemical Society paper. sciencedaily.com/releases/20…
Great. Now how do we protect this from resistance?
Gepotidacin is a novel, first-in-class triazaacenaphthylene antibacterial that inhibits bacterial DNA replication through a unique dual mechanism targeting DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV.
With a favorable safety profile and the advantage of oral administration it is can be useful in treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections (uUTIs) and urethritis caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, including drug-resistant strains.
Just listened to the amazing @refugees podcast featuring @malik_sajjad’s experience of working in war-torn Syria. #AwakeAtNight.
AltED seemed like a nice effort. Was great to speak to @Indra_Calcutta about it and
altED, incubated by @AltNews, is working on a curriculum that helps children be more cognizant of the information they consume. Here, @the_hindu has covered one of our recent efforts where the students showed what they have learnt.
