It was such an amazing week with you all! Thank you again!

Excited to share the preprint of our recent work: Genomics Reveal S. aureus persists during LTUC DOI: doi.org/10.21203/rs.... A BIG thanks to @jmduranramirez.bsky.social hard work and a productive collab with @chelsamicro.bsky.social and Blake Hanson (not on SM)

It was a pleasure hosting you, thanks for coming to Buffalo!

Guidelines for the Prevention, Diagnosis, and Management of Urinary Tract Infections This consensus statement creates a clinical guideline for the diagnosis and management of urinary tract infections that addresses the gap between the evidence and recommendation strength.

My first #IDSky post will be a shameless promotion of our new UTI WikiGuideline!

Of 37 questions, only 6 had enough data to fully meet criteria for a clear recommendation!

An important read, especially for Internstional Women in Science Day.

If you're presenting #UTI research at a conference, #UTIGA wants to help with the travel costs!

Applications for our travel awards are open until mid April, but that doesn't mean you can't apply today ;)

With all the uncertainty from the new changes proposed at the NIH, #UTIGA leadership wants to affirm our steadfast commitment to our mission to improve care of those that suffer from UTIs, promote the next generation of biomedical professionals and advocate for our patients. We are in this together.

A call for healing and unity | mBio Executive orders signed since 20 January 2025 aim to end programs intended to diversify the scientific workforce via equitable and inclusive practices and processes; cut federal funding for research and innovation; and stifle scientific communications. They represent a stunning reversal of policies that have been the bedrock of the U.S. scientific research enterprise and its leadership in the world, and therefore not surprisingly they have been met with a number of legal challenges. Some of the executive orders have been blocked by temporary restraining orders, and others are pending judicial review.

My editorial simultaneously published in all of @asm.org's journals addresses the ongoing effort by the administration to halt efforts to diversify science. It should be obvious from ASM Journals' efforts over the years, but we aren't fans journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Featuring quotes from @jeremymberg.bsky.social @peiferlabunc.bsky.social and the research of @chelsamicro.bsky.social

Deka Namrata is earning her PhD in @chelsamicro.bsky.social's lab, and she's already an #AHA (predoctoral) fellow ❤️

She's presenting her work on #proteusmirabilis in #catheter #UTI and #bacteremia right now during #UTIhour.

Hop on the Zoom, and we will have recordings on our site

Researchers rush to preserve federal health databases before they disappear from government websites Journalists have long relied on federal health data for their reporting. We include several tips that they can use to help researchers preserve the data.

“A group of researchers and students at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health is gathered today for a data preservation marathon, scraping and downloading data related to health equity from U.S. government agency websites before they disappear.”

The Internet Archive has to date downloaded 500 terabytes of US government websites, which it crawls at the end of every presidential term. The whole archive is fully searchable. This effort's housed by a donation-funded nonprofit, not a branch of the US government. blog.archive.org/2024/05/08/e...
