Have y'all seen the new @idsainfo.bsky.social Board of Directors candidate slating? FINALLY there is a PharmD amongst the slating (and WHAT a PharmD too! @jaycdoesid.bsky.social 👏) Fasted yes vote I ever did cast!

Third activity for #ScienceSymposium! Cans = infected patient. Bean bags = antimicrobials. Can only use antimicrobials which are susceptible per the micro report. Oh no! Some are on shortage 😬 Can you cure your patient?!? (Kids got really into this one!)

Happy #IDPharmacistsDay! To celebrate #BeyondTheRx here are some fun educational activities I'll be leading for 3rd-5th graders to do during the #ScienceSymposium this Friday! Can you differentiate between an antibiotic name and a Pokemon? Can you design your own antibiotic (Antimicrobial)?

@mmpharmd.bsky.social: RSV vaccine access is complicated by insurance coverage. Here, >75% of eligible older adults were covered by Medicare Part D, which restricts admin to retail pharmacies. This ⬆️ care coordination and highlights needed expanded vax coverage.

#ScienceSymposium 2026 coming up. What activities to do this year? Thinking I'll have the kids choose an antibiogram card. Bean bags with drug names on them. Based on their antibiogram, they can only use susceptible bean bags to try to kill bacteria (tin cans with bacteria faces)

Monica Mahoney@mmpharmd.bsky.social · last yr.

It's arts and crafts time. Which means ... #ScienceSymposium is coming up (3-5th grade STEM career fair) These will go inside opaque petri dishes so the kids can match the bacteria with an antibiogram and find an active antimicrobial.

I left my phone at home today, and it was so nice to not be bombarded with all the terrible headlines. And then I met up with a friend for dinner, and it was a nice pocket of playing pretend.

I did not have @mmpharmd.bsky.social making a 6-7 reference in a CID article on my bingo card of things that were going to make my day today but here we are academic.oup.com/cid/advance-...

Welcome to the first Monday in 2026. Today, I sent my technician a list of 10 patients who needed PAs for their HIV meds. The kicker? Most of them were for Biktarvy and Dovato. AKA 1st line regimens who have no business needing PAs. 🤬 Insurance companies
