Color us happy, our impact factor went up during the pandemic! Thank you for citing @STD_Journal! Due to increased submissions, papers take awhile to appear in hardcopy but we will always publish-ahead-of print, so please keep SENDING US YOUR WORK!

Listen in to a conversation w/ the fab @InaParkMD on #syphilis, and hint, this infection is a trickster & 1 of the most difficult to diagnose! Easy to treat early on, it can be devastating untreated. We talk about case rates and public health responses. captc.libsyn.com/ina-park-md-on…

When you describe your research team in your grant & their expertise/role on the team, is it ok to just put: "They are fun to work with and they make us all laugh"?

Today I got to sit with one of my patients with HIV for 20 minutes talking about how having this virus in no way defines them, they are more than the virus and they have the power in this relationship, and I made them repeat it back to me, they are not the virus

Me to mentee: Your first manuscript is ready to submit! Mentee: Awesome!! How long does that take? A few minutes? Me: … clear your afternoon 🤦🏻‍♂️…
