Off to ASM

I'm off to New Orleans today, to attend the ASM General Meeting. I'm scheduled to give a talk Monday morning as part of a "pro-con" session on rapid diagnostic testing. Even though the world might end today, I prepared a talk in advance. My task is to argue that culture is just as good (or in some ways even better) than rapid PCR-based techniques for MRSA screening. Fun! Next week I'm giving another talk at our local library. I'll be explaining why a typewriter is just as good as a computer if you're writing something that is expected to have little impact.
