Congratulations to Kevin Messacar MD PhD for being honored by PIDS with the Young Investigator Award for his research and advocacy on AFM, CNS infections, & diagnostic stewardship #idweek2021. We're proud to have him in Colorado and regret having prematurely aged him in a prior tweet

"High-Risk, High-Reward!" Congratulations to assistant professor Dwi Kemaladewi on receipt of a highly competitive NIH New Innovator Award to investigate genetic diversity in muscular dystrophy. pediatrics.pitt.edu/news/kemaladew… #H2P #PittMed UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh

Congrats to Ansen Burr for a 3rd place poster at an immunology retreat. This is quite a feat for a poster containing zero mentions of cytokines or immune cells that barely acknowledges the existence of an immune system😂

It’s crazy how life works sometimes. I get to work with my mom, at the same hospital in the same department. She has been a janitor here for 18 years. She raised a Latina physician in the making! Thank you ama, I am so proud to be your daughter! #MedTwitter #LatinasInMedicine

Thank you PIDS and Pichichero Family Foundation for this support. As stated, we are working to understand the role of antibodies in preventing EV-D68 from causing AFM. Interested in this… job openings coming soon! Will tweet more once the HR paperwork clears 😉

She’s an award winner! Congrats to Holly Thomas , winner of the UPMC APP preceptor of the year! We are so lucky to have this great partner at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh ID Division !

New doctors aren't choosing to go into infectious disease npr.org/2022/12/13/114… 1/2 This crisis is even worse in Pediatric Infectious Diseases. Only 43% fellow spots filled. 40 incoming fellows for 113 posted jobs. Losing PID specialists faster than we make new ones.

2/2 Scores of millions of kids in the US will not have access to PID doc. The current winter shows why that’s a problem. It’s all about ultimate income for young people with huge medical debts.

We are so proud of our fantastic young faculty! The next generation of pediatric physician-scientists.

I successfully defended my doctorate today! Thank you to everyone who has supported me through the past 3 and a half years. I feel unbelievably lucky to have been in Amy Hartman 👩‍🔬🏊🏻’s lab at Center for Vaccine Research. Thank you to everyone who attended in person and virtually! 🤍

Human metapneumovirus, or HMPV, is filling ICUs this spring – a pediatric infectious disease specialist explains this little-known virus theconversation.com/human-metapneu…

Very important study showing kids get lots of viruses and are probably social spreaders cdc.gov/mmwr/index.html
