Is it enough to improve pre/post knowledge scores after teaching in LICs? 📚🌍

Our latest paper The Bulletin of the World Health Organization found that an open fracture intervention in Malawi improved attendee knowledge 💡, but not patient outcomes 🩼 1/7🧵

My first TB paper with Ted Cohen and others is online at eBioMedicine – The Lancet Discovery Science!

We found differences in the spatial distribution and degree of local concentration of disease due to specific strains of Beijing and Ural lineage Mtb. #TB #WGS #spatial_analysis

Great work Mphatso D.S. Phiri and all of the Timasamala Study team! Very much looking forward to seeing the results.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis immunosurveillance survey data +++ important as epidemiology of TB changes in Africa.

What's the epidemiology of #TB infection in adolescents & adults? No population data from Malawi, few in Africa, as TB/HIV burden changes.

Very pleased to finish recruiting ~3,000 participants in Blantyre, Malawi yesterday, to answer ❓.

Honor to bring in Vietnam’s perspective to this innovation work.

This is great! Really important synthesis of how people experience active case finding for tuberculosis.

Very clearly written too.

⭐️Published today on The Cochrane Library, new #QualitativeEvidenceSynthesis from Cochrane_IDG on Active Case Finding in people with #TB tinyurl.com/bdfwr3hw⭐️

Great to see that students in UofG MVLS UofG SHW are supporting the #PandemicAccord championed by World Health Organization (WHO) Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus
It is a major opportunity to protect our planet when future pandemics threaten humanity as they inevitably will.
#GetItDone

Inspired by Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus' visit students from UofG MVLS UofG SHW are supporting the #PandemicAccord to advocate for a more equitable & healthier world safe from pandemics.

They encourage other university students to call on world leaders to #GetItDone as negotiations restart today.
