ID physician Anthony Fauci, MD, FIDSA has led with courage, scientific integrity and an unwavering commitment to improving public health. These qualities inspired IDSA to establish the Anthony Fauci Courage in Leadership Award. We thank him for his service to patients, science & the ID community.

I hate candidemia-caused septic shock. So much. Why do we still not know which patients would benefit from early empiric antifungals? I reflect a bit at @nejm.org on living with uncertainty when the patient is dying in front of you: voices.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Choosing Humility in the Face of My Ignorance

A patient in shock forced me to consider how to respond to the limits of my own knowledge and those of the medical field at large.

This is a really good explainer about the mortality estimates around USAID. One big point is that dismantling USAID also dismantled one of the main sources of mortality data in some of these regions. Early indicators of mortality are very worrying.

Our latest work on drug resistance and epistasis. We performed comparative deep mutational scanning of two fungal orthologs to estimate how much data on one can help predict the impact of mutations on the other. We dissect the source of epistasis at the atomic level. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
