Had a great time connecting with friends and colleagues at #IDWeek2025. I agree with the wise Anthony Harris who shared these words (during his @sheaepi.bsky.social Lectureship) about our message as ID docs who do healthcare epi & infection prevention. Thanks to all who support our field.

I'm a SHEA advocate because it's more important than ever to speak out and take action to protect public health and to prevent and control infectious diseases. @sheaepi.bsky.social and its members do amazing work in this space and are trusted voices in speaking up for science. #SHEAspeaks

Visited a hospital in Thessaloniki, Greece. So impressed by the enthusiasm and dedication of the infection prevention teams we have met! Then enjoyed a phenomenal seaside meal with our crew.

Good news: @sheaepi.bsky.social has joined us in the Sky! If you’re into preventing healthcare-associated infections, antimicrobial stewardship, epidemiology, or public health, I strongly encourage following them! (Full disclosure: I’m currently a Board member, rotating off Jan 1.)

It's US #AntibioticAwarenessWeek! Antibiotics are precious tools for fighting infections, but they should only be used when needed and for the shortest effective duration. #USAAW24

Got to see Sutton Foster on Broadway in this show last night. She was absolutely hilarious (and the whole cast was great)!
