Thrilled to begin a new chapter as Assistant Professor & Clinical Microbiology Section Director at @DukePathDept 🏥🔬. Grateful for this dream opportunity 🙏 and excited to grow, learn, and advance clinical microbiology & patient care 🚀💙
Preparing for the ABMM was humbling—I left the exam feeling defeated 😔. Today, seeing the certificate with my name reminds me it’s real 🤏🙌. Grateful, humbled, and excited to keep learning and serving in this field 💡🧫✨.
On #WorldSepsisDay, huge thanks to all the clinicians, nurses, lab professionals & researchers working to detect, treat & prevent #Sepsis. Your advances in diagnostics & therapies save lives every day. 💙 #PatientSafety #GlobalHealth #Infection #CriticalCare #MedTwitter
It’s World #Sepsis Day
Sepsis kills 11 million people each year.
Symptoms incl.:
🔸Fever or shivering
🔸Confusion
🔸Shortness of breath
🔸Rash that does not fade when pressed
🔸Extreme discomfort
🔸Sweaty skin
Seek medical care as soon as possible when an infection is not getting better.

Big news 🥳 🎉
Ten years ago we started Ella Maru Studio. Since then we have illustrated thousands of figures and journal covers, and many scientists have asked me to share what I have learned. I am now offering a free 45-minute seminar on how to design clear, engaging visuals for manuscripts and presentations - covering layout basics, color choices, and common pitfalls to avoid.
If your lab, department, or university would like to host the session, drop me a message or email [email protected].

New results show a simplified two-dose antibiotic treatment may be just as effective as long-term IV therapy for serious staph bloodstream infections. For DCRI Faculty member Thomas Holland, this represents a “a meaningful shift” in treatment:
