Some of the ESCMID delegates are AI experts and are very helpful in finding the medical mycology sessions. @escmid.bsky.social @mrccmm.bsky.social @youngecmm.bsky.social @ishamycology.bsky.social @britmycolsoc.org.uk @bsmm-meeting.bsky.social
That is quite a programme ESCMID. @escmid.bsky.social
The scale of ESCMID Global, here in Munich, is impressive. The big topic seems to be AI and everything with 10 sessions. Medical mycology has a presence throughout the day. @youngecmm.bsky.social @ishamycology.bsky.social @mrccmm.bsky.social @escmid.bsky.social
50 medical mycologists put their shoulder behind an action plan to mitigate the rising threat of antifungal drug resistance. Check out in Nature Medicine. @youngecmm.bsky.social @ecmmcandidaiv.bsky.social @ishamycology.bsky.social @bsmm-meeting.bsky.social @mrccmm.bsky.social
We enjoyed hosting a visit from Robin May who entertained everybody with a seminar about his life and career as a lab scientist & government scientific advisor. From lab coat to bowler hat!@robinmay9.bsky.social @mrccmm.bsky.social @youngecmm.bsky.social @bsmm-meeting.bsky.social @ukhsa.bsky.social

Tell 'em Tom
"November has tied me
To an old dead tree
Get word to April
To rescue me
November's cold chain
Made of wet boots and rain
And shiny black ravens
On chimney smoke lanes
November seems odd
You're my firing squad
November"

The ink look very black on the cap, but it is melanin which is brown, so perhaps to be expected. But some spores are green or other colours.
Happy U.K. Fungus Day. This was drawn using the ink from a shaggy ink cap growing in my own garden.
Many congratulations to Connie Lass-Florl as the very worthy 2025 recipient of the TIMM E. Drouhet lecture. Fantastic overview of the puzzles brought byAspergillus terreus infections. @youngecmm.bsky.social @ecmmcandidaiv.bsky.social
