Thanks @VUMCPathology! For all those out there in the twitterverse, this was a real culture and not contrived. Great example of hemolysis! @romneyintn

#Flulapalooza @VUMChealth is an operational thing of beauty! It was, by far, the most efficient influenza vaccination campaign I've ever seen. It's hard to tell from the picture, but it was PACKED, and I was in-and-out in less than 2 minutes. Well done!!! #GetVaxxed #Nashville

Pardon the shameless self promotion, but I am grateful to be a part of this (via leading the group focused on clinical metagenomics and NGS technologies). Thanks for your hard work on this great project, Marwan!

Fantastic talk from Rachael Liesman @MidwestMicrobes on laboratory challenges resulting from the (I think very helpful, but in need of some polishing, IMNSHO) CDC #PrEP 2021 guidelines @thepascv Fall Conference. Reach out to Rachael for slides!

Come and join @DavidCGaston and I at #2022AACC this afternoon. What is the value of NGS in CML? Come and hear our thoughts! We would love your input as well.

For Halloween micro walk rounds today, I dressed as one of the scariest things currently facing clinical microbiology labs that I could think of ... @hmostaf2 @SimnerLab @JHUPath @ASMicrobiology @Pathologists @TheABPath

"It goes to 11" is NOT a good #SpinalTap quote to have applied to a SARS-CoV-2 cycle threshold value ... #WearAMask

Good message from Mark Cottman, a Baltimore artist. Not getting #vaccinated against #COVID really is like playing Russian roulette with your health. We just can't reliably predict who is going to have a terrible outcome. See more of his great work here - markcottman.com/

To clarify, we can't reliably predict who is going to have a terrible outcome from #COVID if they are unvaccinated, not a terrible outcome the vaccine itself. The #vaccines available in the US are safe and effective.
