My adult daughter Rachel works everyday, pays taxes, loves going to movies with her friends, and listens to awful (IMO) music. Our U.S. Dept HHS has lost all of its humanity, compassion, and intellectual curiosity

In the current political climate, many misunderstand/misrepresent NIH "indirect costs", which cover facility and administrative costs essential for research Here's a video that explains what F&A expenses cover, how they are determined, and why they are essential www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtqK...

Doxycycline postexposure prophylaxis for bacterial STIs: Prescribing patterns, use, short-term outcomes among 2083 patients in a Los Angeles Federally Qualified Health Care Program, and implications for widespread use. ✅ Just Accepted #IDSky

Doxycycline postexposure prophylaxis for bacterial STIs: Prescribing patterns, use, short-term outcomes among 2083 patients in a Los Angeles Federally Qualified Health Care Program, and implications for widespread use.
Rates of bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs) have risen dramatically over the past decades. Doxycycline postexposure prophylaxis (DP) is a novel intervention to prevent bacterial STIs. Recent randomized controlled clinical trials reported high DP efficacy at preventing syphilis and chlamydia in cisgender men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women.

as someone about to graduate ID fellowship, the NIH price freeze immediately prompted my “how does this affect my k23 application?” But today I realized I’m fortunate to always have clinical medicine to do, as opposed to many community workers and research workers fully dependent on NIH financing.

I had a lot of fun riding this one with @anuhazramd.bsky.social , definitely a topic with some controversy, but could be a pivotal move to help reduce the incidence of this (not so) “hidden” syphilis epidemic.

The ID march of shorter treatment is ok continues, this time for bacteremia (not including S. aureus). FYI, E. coli, Klebsiella, Enterococcus, and CoNS made up > 70% of organisms. By pathogen breakdown of risk difference emphasizes applicability of these results for GN bacteremia.

I can't find African Scientists and researchers easily on here. As the second largest continent with 1.3 billion inhabitants our perspectives matter. I'm creating a starterpack to find folks, follow them and amplify them. If you are an African Scientist let me know below so I can add you. Thanks.
