Well, this is a brilliant #IDSky article that cuts close to the bone! 😬

Reframes #academia as an infection for which the causative organism may be less easy to define, but that can be just as insidious on affected individuals (clinical academics)!

⬆️ 2% of prescribers = 20% of scripts (check out Pareto graph in figure 1)
❌ scripts from ER +Primary Care
❌Indications w/ beta-lactam allergy- 🦷 infection
❌ w/o: SSTI

@kenkoonwong.bsky.social with another deep look at the SoMe ## of #IDWeek2025:

1) ID is divided between #IDSky and #IDTwitter

2) More posts+ engagement on 🦋than X

3) Certain accounts such as @boghuma.bsky.social @sairabt.bsky.social @jonathanrydermd.bsky.social are essential follows for IDWeek
#IDWeek2025 had the lowest post count since 2022 (1,272 posts). While top posters shifted to Bluesky, X remained on par—the key difference was engagement rates favoring Bluesky. Grateful to learn so much from our SoMe community! 📊💙🙏
