A Song About a Virus - Hallie Dolin, M.D. , Ph.D. YouTube video by American Society for Microbiology

I was so lucky to get to sing this song at #ASMicrobe2025 (courtesy of @asm.org), thanks to the generosity of Dr. Sheldon Campbell at @yalepathology.bsky.social. Learn about dengue, but don't contract it! #ClinMicro #PathSky #IDSky

I always look forward to ASM Microbe, but 2025 was particularly special because it was hosted in my neck of the woods. I hope my colleagues got to see everything that is beautiful about Los Angeles! #ClinMicro #ASMicrobe2025

Incredible conversations at #ASMicrobe2025! Thank you to everyone who stopped by to talk phages, evolution, and the potential of phage steering in complex infections! @asm.org #PhageSky #PhageSteering

ICYMI: At #ASMicrobe2025 Dr. Mike Bromley highlights how crop spraying is fueling antifungal resistance, and why a One Health approach is essential to protect both food systems and human health.

Airborne Fungal Spores May Predict Short-Term Surges in COVID-19 and Influenza At ASM Microbe 2025, a Puerto Rico study links increased fungal spore concentrations to rises in viral respiratory infections, suggesting potential early warning utility.

At #ASMicrobe2025, researchers presented new findings linking elevated airborne fungal spores to short-term increases in COVID-19 & influenza cases in PR. The study suggests fungal spore monitoring could support early public health warnings. #IDsky #MEDsky

Unexpected Mechanism of Biodegradation and Defluorination of 2,2-Difluoro-1,3-Benzodioxole by Pseudomonas putida F1 | mBio There are more than 9,000 polyfluorinated compounds developed for commercial use, some negatively impacting human health, and they are generally considered to be resistant to biodegradation. Only a li...

Second talk I've been to today in which a speaker didn't show so someone else had to step in to give a talk. Tony Dodge summarizes his lab's work on degrading PFAs with microbes in the session about degrading PFAs with microbes. Most of the talk is on this paper on mechanisms.
