Josh Lieberman, MD, PhD

My arm hurts, but I am so grateful to get my first dose of #COVID19 vaccine with @LiebermanNicole. No idea how I coulda made it through the pandemic without this awesome person. It's darkest before the dawn, but the morning will break soon.

@LiebermanNicole @uwlabmedpath @GreningerLab Thanks, Nicole. It's amazing to work with an incredible community of folks dedicated to syphilis. And that very much includes you. I am so grateful for your scientific and personal support. Especially the scientific support: it's a great collaboration. 😃

SUPER excited to officially share that @uwlabmedpath investigators received THREE of the ten NIH R21s awarded for #syphilis diagnostics. Congrats to @MolMicro_Path @GreningerLab and Steve Salipante!

Best wishes and great thanks to Mark Chandler, who retired from the UW Dept of Microbiology on Wednesday. I’m forever grateful for Mark’s partnership in the UW MICRO460 Parasitology course. Thanks for all you’ve done for UW students over the years!

@LiebermanNicole , finally there's a tweet for you.

@MisfitTorah I mean that's basically what I do with Halakha. :)

Interested in Leishmania genomics and POC assay development? I’m looking for an RS3 or RS2 with a molecular biology/NGS background; bioinformatics experience a plus. Apply via UW Hires RS3 bit.ly/3BLjVvx RS2 bit.ly/3UErpa8

@MisfitTorah So I'm way late to the party here, but this was a great podcast. And FWIW I think you handled the non-linear dynamics/chaos theory discussion quite wel!

“data” is a plural noun.

@PolyakSteve Thanks, Steve. I always do ;-)

Interested in leishmaniasis and its epidemiology in the US? @uwlabmedpath did most of the Leish testing in the US from 9/21 - 7/22. Come chat with me about what we found at @ASTMH #TropMed22! Poster session A, LB-5103. Monday, 10/31.

@WeFightMalaria See ya there, Sean!

So happy to have our global health colleagues here in Seattle for this week’s #astmh2022 meeting. Our #UWMedicine lab has 11 team members presenting posters & talks. Love to connect about collaborations & meet those of you who share the dream of a world free from malaria.

@Linoj_S @FilipeHutchens Guilty. I got to zygospore and thought "sequence it?"

Sequencing and MALDI are great for molds but feel like something of the art of mycology will be lost if we ever stop looking at them under a scope every now and then. Cunninghamella here

@BatmanOfScience @Gloria_SuraMD Story of my every day at work...

Lung lobectomy revealing what organism? Answer: kikoxp.com/posts/12769/ #PathArt #PathTwitter #Cytopath #Cytology #IDTwitter

Oh! And molecular MTB resistance (isolates only).

In addition to significantly expanding our clinical NGS offerings (bacterial whole genome ID, amplicon NGS for mixed fungal infections), we now have assays for M. chimaera, and my personal favorite a #syphilis #NAAT!

Before a billionaire schmuck turns twitter into a hate-filled hellhole, I want to thank the incredible staff of the @uwlabmedpath #MolMicro lab for their work this past year. We've brought on really exciting new tests! More than in any other year!

@savelakewoodnj @MisfitTorah @drmartens @NOFX Orthopedic doctor martens, no less!

@MisfitTorah Et tu @drmartens ? I guess I'm throwing out my shoes that we used for stomping on Fairfax with @nofx . Because we're the brews.

@_TaraKrishnan_ There are no shortcuts up the mountain. I know it's hard, just trust that it'll get easier and that we all go through this. Climb on!

@BenMazer 🤯🤯🤯

@AmeetRKini We keep getting "threats" of a massive aurora reaching all the way to Seattle, and keep coming up short. The couple times this year it was visible I 100% slept through it, and gratefully at that. But some of my staff posted amazing pics of green dancing lights over emerald city

@MolMicro_Path There's a ton of light pollution where I live, so I travel to a dark sky location (Airbnb is great for this) every summer to take in the night sky!
