Excited for the opportunity to talk all things spit at #ESCMIDGlobal2024 this afternoon!

What in the new year confusion has me thinking it's October? :/

As much as I respect and admire journals and editors that have a strong focus on a timely review process, I literally received the invite for this review exactly one hour before this notification (and in the middle of my night) 🙄

SAVE. THE. DATE. 🤩

This year's @salivadirect.bsky.social event hosted attendees from all over the world. It wasn't just about spit (nor just SARS-CoV-2) but it brought together those from labs, academia, industry & government with a shared interest in pushing forward sustainable testing solutions 🧪

At least a little bit of good news coming out of New Zealand this week 🧪🪶

Tomorrow I'll be running the Chicago Marathon (#23695). Through this, I am raising funds to support survivors of domestic violence bit.ly/BreakDV

As my first official post here, I'm absolutely thrilled to share this review just out in Lancet Microbe led by Drs. Laxton & Peno, demonstrating the potential of saliva as a valuable diagnostic & surveillance tool beyond SARS-CoV-2
