‼️ Save the date! ‼️ Tuberculosis: Understanding the Disease Across Scales Keystone 2026 on March 23-26 in Cape Town, South Africa 🇿🇦 Very excited to organise this meeting with Digby, Bree and Margarida Short Talk Abstract Deadline: Nov. 24, 2025 www.keystonesymposia.org/conferences/...

This is a research ethics emergency 🚨 on the scale of those we know from history - the Tuskegee syphilis study, Nazi “scientific”atrocities. The impact on the global clinical research field is immense. Will we (scientists, participants, communities, ethics committees) ever trust funders again?

We are looking for post-docs interested in studying T cell responses to M. tuberculosis infection…especially basic T cell immunologists who are interested in learning to work with BSL3 pathogens. The NIH intramural program is an amazing place to train!

Thank you Bill Gates. For your generosity and for calling out Musk. Worlds richest man is involved in deaths of world poorest children. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This is well written and makes me so sad for the future of science in America. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Vaccines have granted families in wealthy countries the luxury of forgetting what measles, polio, rubella, and other preventable diseases are like. We're looking at how many millions of lives vaccines have saved. Read the full story: https://go.nature.com/42Aj3Y8

Or at least reversal of all NIH funding cancelations...

Massive congratulations to my PhD student, Janet Zambezi, for winning 2nd prize in the LSHTM/UCL World TB day symposium early career researcher presentations. So proud of you. #EDI #postTBLungDisease #TBSequel

With this incredibly detrimental NIH funding block that will impact years of our TB work, I am drawn to Coldplay's 'the scientist'. Completely different scenario for the song but 'let's go back to the start' resonates. Without science where would we be?

WHO in Afghanistan is deeply concerned that funding shortages could force the closure of 80% of WHO-supported essential health care services.

This will be devastating for scientists and research teams, participants of trials, including those who receive TB or HIV care and treatment and will impact gains made world-wide in controlling infections diseases. And all for a completely BS reason. www.science.org/content/arti...

The gutting of USAID has crippled tuberculosis programs, leaving hundreds of thousands of patients without tests or drugs and at risk of spreading the disease.

This is hugely scary for the entire world, not just countries which were US aid recipients.

healthpolicy-watch.news/hiv-clinics-... This is evil, shameful and infuriating. For 20 years my friends and colleagues have devoted our lives and career to HIV care. Very angry to receive message after message today from friends being sent home from work and having to turn patients away.

I am so sad for American science and scientists. America used to be the go to place for international post docs. No longer I'm sure.
