We need significantly more urgency to tackle the TB crisis. It is desperately underresourced! Consider this comparison: 1 speculative US COVID vaccine development contract cost over $1 billion. This exceeds funding for the entire TB vaccine field globally for the past 10 years!

Students, you have a lot of power to control your mentor-mentee relationship. Remember that many of us haven't received a value-based mentoring either. This is a 2-way relationship and will only get better with more communication on both sides. Mentor up! graduateschool.syr.edu/wp-content/upl…

Such an elegantly presented post on mentee experiences based around an ongoing survey from A. Murat Eren (Meren). Food for thought as a #NewPI trying to overcome the stasis and survival mode of starting a lab during covid to create a supportive and empowered lab environment&culture

Today, on #WorldTBDay2022, we should reflect on the fact that despite massive global investment over the last two years for vaccines, pulmonary research, and aerosol mitigation aimed at combating COVID-19, TB deaths are on the rise for the first time since 2015. #InvestToEndTB

The Behar lab is looking for postdoctoral trainees - if you are interested in studying host immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis and/or development of better TB vaccines, and want to do so in a fun and supportive lab environment, consider applying! Please RT.
