Was great to meet Radhika sarda at #escmidglobal2024 !

So many meet ups.

Best thing about it by far

Dear ESCMID

Next year's #ESCMIDGlobal in Vienna coincides exactly with a major Jewish festival

This will exclude a significant minority of people

Not a good look for equality, diversion and inclusion

Thoughts on #ECCMID2024 as it draws to a close

Talks ✅😃
Networking ✅✅✅😍☺️
Venue ❌🤔
Food ❌❌❌😡🤷‍♂️0⃣

Great meeting people.

In honest it's too big - perhaps quantity over quality.

But still glad I made it

See you next year in Vienna!! 🇦🇹

This entire plane is filled with returnees from ECCMID - still meeting people on the plane 😂!

Antimicrobial resistance in the Middle East and the effect of the many conflicts across the region

Great talk as ever from Souha Kanj of American University of Beirut

Now Anthony Lieu of Stanford University on using cell free DNA PCR to detect mould infection.

A real step up from galactomannan

Invasive mould disease is one of the most horrible things you will ever see.

Encouraging to see progress in diagnostics

Waking up to the last day of #eccmid2024

Check out my very glamorous hotel room view!

Believe it or not this rainy view of Ikea is in Barcelona..can't you tell?

It strikes me every international conference.

English is my first language. I get nervous before giving talks.

Then I hear speakers having to present in English when it is NOT their first language - must add a whole extra layer of stress!

Hate to say it but the Fira Barcelona conference is...

Ugly

(I guess most conference centres are)
