Did you know that the federal minimum wage has not been raised since 2009? It's still sitting at $7.25 because of GOP obstruction. Meanwhile the cost of living has only increased and CEO pay has skyrocketed. Workers nowadays need $25 an hour for a living wage. #RaiseTheWage #25toSurvive

I show up focusing on the patient in front of me. Luckily, the majority are appreciative of the guidance and education. Easier when treating anything other than viral respiratory infections. The trust issue is mainly around that diagnosis + vaccines .

False. They had due process and they know it. Being found guilty is not a failure of the process, it's the result of it.

Some of my favorite art pieces from #ESCMID2025. A prevailing theme throughout the lectures was the effect Climate change is having on Infectious Diseases.

Great Inf prevention talk this am. In summary, when to discontinue contact precautions remains a challenge. Hand hygiene and standard precautions remain our most impactful tool to control transmission. + Decolonization Single patient rooms and better engineering No water sources #escmid2025

No argument here. The fact that we have to remind people of this is in fact a testament to how well they work.

it’s weird that we’re staring down the second unprecedented economic catastrophe in five years and instead of a novel coronavirus that will go on to kill millions of people this one is just “no one was willing to tell him no”

I disagree with this ACT statement in the article. As an international learner, in fact, one of the fondest memories I have of my time in NZ, was the treaty of Waitangi course I attended at MidCentral dhb. Enlightening in so many ways.

I really don't understand how this "saves" $ in the long run. What is the point of this chaos?

These cuts are not saving us anything in the long run. Cancer, chronic diseases and medical research should be non-partisan because it affects ALL Americans. Add to that the jobs they generate across the country and ROI from innovation and you can see how short-sighted this is.

I’m no economist or business expert, but I do have a lot of experience with science & public health funding in the US, as well as with the value of research to communities. I wholeheartedly agree with this. Government funds & workers drive local economies. A thread of my accounting below 👇🏻

Why is this DEI?? 🤯 This is infuriating. Trump once hailed WWII vet Medgar Evers as a 'great American hero.' Now the U.S. Army has erased him from a section on the Arlington National Cemetery website mississippitoday.org/2025/03/17/w...

The US president signed an eo to freeze assistance to South Africa, because of "egregious actions" by South Africa and cites "unjust racial discrim against Afrikaners. The South African government has repeatedly denied this. So even when the country denies it, if Trump says it, it must be true? 🤦🏻‍♀️
