Dr. Campbell was President of ASTMH in 2007. Our condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.

Is anyone planning something cool for #ticks in 2024 at ASTMH?

I attended in the mid/early -2010s (I feel old now) - but #ticktalk was lacking.

Yes - my PhD is in skeeters, but I’m a #tickchick now.

Gotta get all the info!
