Oh my microbiome!

Pilots well underway for our DFAT funded OneHealth #AMR project in Hanoi - #SAPPHIRE

@who.int critical and high priority #BPPL pathogens abound in wet markets, even carbapenem screening plates are loaded.

Watch this space!

Hello scientists of Bluesky - I'm keen to speak with Australian researchers affected by the Trump administration's impact on science.

If you've received a questionnaire from a US agency, or your work has been affected by cuts or funding freezes to US science orgs, I'd love to hear from you.

Catering for the ANZMIG educational #mycology meeting tonight is on point 😃

Looking forward to some interesting cases. Bound to be some Lomentospora…

Fungi Fight Back - a great talk from Lars Westblade on his experience with fungal #AMR.

Come for the fungal talks, stay for the bagel jokes.

Right!

Emerging from wonderful 3 week break and thinking about return to work.

Who’s got tips for making that both painless and productive?!

Well this looks a lot more promising ☀️ (1st time I’ve seen blue skies in Amsterdam for a while, too!)

Start of the final leg home to Sydney ✈️

Such a benign scene to have resulted in 4hr delay in Prague!

Now we fly into the storms of Amsterdam 😬😬🫨 on the long return to home and work

Bit of a change from my usual noodle pics - great fuel for wintry walks tho 😍

🚀 Just published, our review of direct antifungal drug delivery approaches for invasive fungal infections.

Evidence is still limited, but trials are underway. Extra options, fewer side effects, better patient outcomes 🚀

Nice paper - tricky case. Patient w COVID-19 isolated for 7 months, impacting rehab.

Rules and interpretation of tests were too rigid for lung Tx patient, long after IPC threat had passed.

Authors @priyagargiddoc.bsky.social @alyssapradhan.bsky.social et al offer some solutions!
Prolonged COVID-19 shedding in complicated lung transplant patient - a tricky case for us to navigate at the time! Interested in whether de-isolation policies have since changed at other centres? #IDSky #TxID @alyssapradhan.bsky.social

Recently had great time, invited to talk fungi at National Infectious Diseases meeting plenary in Vietnam

#Mycology got a good profile!

Great to see other @sydneyuni.bsky.social people - Profs Dwyer and Thu Anh Nguyen - give talks too! 😀

Are you a Vietnam-based post-doc with experience in lab, field-work, or qualitative aspects work?

✅Come work with me and the team Sydney Vietnam Institute. We'd love to hear from you😀
