Who is a speaker and who is a chair at big infectious disease conferences? Where are they coming come? Some data in this letter.

Progress, but still lots to do...

ah interesting, i'd missed this paper. @angelahuttner.bsky.social

Those @escmid.bsky.social trends are quite positive when it comes to men:women ratios. But those keynote speaker slots!!! (but optimism on direction of trendline though)

Big 🙏🏼 to @hoferu.bsky.social for highlighting this paper & to Katharina Last @clinmicrobugs.bsky.social for being its architect (& engine!). Yes, @escmid.bsky.social is doing hard work to get closer to parity. (Now I'm on the inside and see how easy it would be not to even bother.) #IDSky #Clinmicro

Late or no reporting of clinical trial results is a problem.

This personal view analyzed COVID-19 antiviral trials - 40% published no results 2 years after completion.

Last but not least, my favourite cover of The Lancet Infectious Diseases in 2024.

Many thanks to our fabulous cover artist for the year, Miriam Martincic!
