Excited for a day full of diagnosis! Welcoming lots of amazing researchers for a workshop on the sociology of diagnosis @newcastleuni.bsky.social as part of my Mildred Blaxter Fellowship @fshi.bsky.social

My favourite part of this discussion was @angelahuttner.bsky.social clearly explaining the worry about antibiotic use is causing resistant organisms which might later harm *the same* patient. But wow, how far we’ve come with this kind of attention for UTI! www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

I hope clinicians see this as a threat to their professionalisation as much as PAs are. But it possibly tells us a lot about professionalisation that this issue is rarely raised in that way

Whenever I come across stories of people who suffer a UTI *every* time they have sex (which is a lot), I can’t help feeling that US medicine is light years ahead of us in thinking about what might help

Oh no…have become obsessed with Elisabeth and Franz Joseph via Netflix. Knowing there must be a corner of Bluesky which could answer my questions about what they ate for dinner etc!

I can vouch for the fact that any budding researcher would be *extremely* well guided through the PhD process by this research team. You really couldn’t get better mentors and a fantastic project to boot

We strongly suggest that academic publishers and other platforms that host research rapidly implement a Share to Bluesky button for their articles. Here's how: docs.bsky.app/docs/advance... #AcademicSky #HigherEd #Altmetrics
