A male president was so angry he lost that he incited a mob against the U.S. Capitol. I never want to hear again that women would be "too emotional" to be president.
I fear Trump’s #COVID19 diagnosis will be a disaster. He’ll be fine: early diagnosis, 24h care, early remdesivir and Covid antibodies. He’ll get better & say Covid is no big deal. People will believe him, let down their guard, and 100Ks will die when they can’t get the same care.
This year BBM will be held on Thursday July 16th and Friday July 17th. On both days there will be live-streamed oral presentations by students and postdoctoral fellows, as well as breakout sessions on Thursday featuring expert panelists in various fields. #BBM2020
Registration for the 26th Annual Boston Bacterial Meeting is now open! We are accepting registrations and abstract submissions through our website: bostonbacterial.org/register/ #BBM2020
Great news: BBM is going virtual!!! We are still in the process of transitioning to digital and will keep you all updated as more details are solidified. Stay safe everyone!
