New CDC fact sheets on antimicrobial stewardship in public health! #IDSky Available at: www.cdc.gov/healthcare-a...

Yes!! It’s so great. Chicago and Paris are fantastic locations for a novel!

Highly recommend this book to anyone interested in HIV in the 80s. “Amphoterrible” is even mentioned by name! It’s beautifully written and now I am officially in a book slump. #booksky #IDsky #greatbelievers

Valentine’s Day ASP and IPC style:

Gram-negatives are red
Gram-positives are blue
You can switch to PO
No matter the hue

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Wash Your Hands
Prevention starts with you

I got cefazolin!

Joining the @sidpharm.bsky.social SIDP Annual Meeting virtually this year! Hope the rest of IDWeek is great! 🤓 🧫💊 #IDSky #AMSSky

Happy Infectious Diseases Pharmacists Day!

I have been lucky to always work alongside ID pharmacists, and couldn’t do it otherwise.

Both short term successes and long term improvements have come from these invaluable partnerships… and even better, everlasting friendships 💗
