Asked to do some #idsky teaching for the medical students on Infective Endocarditis. What topic is most high yield?

I was thinking presentation, micro, TTE?

Amazing to learn about all the ways in which fungi have won, and how we should think about those powers

Thrilled to share our new research led by Jane Davies @menziesresearch.bsky.social on First Nations people in the NT living with chronic hepatitis B. An important study that could inform better care:

First time trying black sapote. Wasn't sure about it and didn't want to make a full smoothie so went crumpet and some double cream, it was quite good.

Following along a feed that captures all Brisbane posts and enjoying the comparisons between #engvind and Nasser 'we'll have a bowl thanks' because of 1) schadenfreude and 2) looking forward to replicating it this summer. #ashes

A/Prof A Bosward talks #onehealth and #Qfever in dairy 🐄. Shows that:

⛽ Cows (& others) are an important reservoir of QF w/ regional clusters
🤒 Infected cows are less productive (longer gestations & 2.4L less 🥛/🐄/🌅)

Advocates for Australian uptake of animal QF vax.
