This week is Medical Laboratory Professionals Week #MLPW2020, aka #LabWeek2020
And is so happens that today's my birthday.
To celebrate & incentivize, reply w/ the social media handle of a medical lab professional (including yourself!) & I'll RT w/ a #MicroRounds lab picture!

To start, here's doctor @drswlong who is one of just several great lab leaders from the state of Texas.
Here's an intravenous catheter tip that grew not just one but two Gram negative rods: K. oxytoca and E. coli

OK, I should've realized that people would be kind and want to say Happy Birthday even if they didn't want a microbiology picture.
But it's #MLPW2020 so guess what, you're getting a picture! @CoquiTalksTrash is a great twitter follow.
This is a Penicillium mold #LabWeek2020

If you're a lab professional, twitter is an amazing place to get a glimpse into the lives, accomplishments and advocacy of people who live with the diseases we help diagnose.
@Potato_Chip is an incredible person who has CF. Here's a green Pseudomonas aeruginosa for her.

I worked chemistry/hematology before going deep into microbiology. So I appreciate all the areas of the clinical lab … but microbiologists like @avaa81 get a special shoutout.

A GREAT article highlighting the role of lab workers in Canada by @MultanMichael. Thanks!
Pathologists like @Sara_Jiang and MANY others have really optimized social media for education and outreach.

Update: this is not just an offer for today, 4/20 - reply to this thread with the social media of a clinical lab professional (or future, or hopeful or someone adjacent!) and I'll tweet it with a microbiology lab picture!
I've got a backlog but I will get to everyone!

And a reminder: a LOT of routine lab work isn't happening bc of #COVID19 which is impacting hours and employment of these crucial healthcare workers! #MLPW2020 #LabWeek2020 https://twitter.com/Yer5inia/status/1252344268808531968?s=20
