Our Vice-Chancellor Professor David Lalloo has given evidence to @HouseofCommons Science, Innovation and Technology Select Committee on UK science and progress towards disease elimination globally. Watch: parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/50… (from 09:44:04)

Delighted to announce that our paper, resulting from the #SimpliciTB Clinical Trial, has been published in the Lancet DOI:doi.org/10.1016/S1473-…. @EDCTP @TBAlliance @Infection_StAnd @StAndMedicine @univofstandrews @SabiitiwWilber @mugecevik @ucl @PanACEA_II

Excellent work @takondwa_ms

@pvanheus @petermacp @ted_h_cohen @LizCorbett17 @JasonAndrewsMD @YaleSPH @UofGMVLS @UofGSHW @eatonjw @docgchipmdub @LSHTM_TB Just to allay your fears. I am one of the Malawian co-authors and there was good collaboration with local scientists, in addition to the 3 Malawian authors, 4 other authors were resident in Malawi and responsibly built this research together.

@petermacp @ted_h_cohen @LizCorbett17 @MarriottNliwasa @JasonAndrewsMD @YaleSPH @UofGMVLS @UofGSHW @eatonjw @docgchipmdub @LSHTM_TB A disturbing lack of Malawian authors though... 3 out of 23. Since there is no description of roles its hard to assess contribution but in any event on a purely numerical representation this is poor.

@kemi_aa While I believe academic twitter is struggling for a variety of reasons, including the use of AI, I teach writing intensive classes and have added an AI writing policy to all of my syllabi. Although there’s no perfect solution, this (along with constant conversations) has helped.

@kemi_aa We run short interviews/exams in which we ask students about what they wrote. If they do not know or understand what they wrote about, they fail. Regardless of whether they used AI or not.

How do you remember Anthony? I had the honor of knowing Prof Butterworth via @LizCorbett17 His family became mine, and made my PhD. His science & life legacy is profound! Share your memories as comments to this video: youtu.be/zY0eF7z3srE. Your memory will comfort his family.

@andomie16 I wonder why this syndrome is so common

@TAGTeam_Tweets @richardwhite321 .... and also this one on injectable TB preventive therapy... very interesting

Several major findings on tuberculosis (TB) were presented at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) this year. Read TAG's analysis of the biggest takeaways, and what they mean for communities affected by TB: treatmentactiongroup.org/statement/2024…

Doctor calls microbiology lab demanding a result "Can I speak to the technician?" Highly trained laboratory biomedical scientist on being called a technician;

Next JC on *March 7* (please note date change) - @Sutherland_TB & @LSHTM MRC-Gambia colleagues presenting on @OlbrichLaura & al #RaPaedTB host-response cartridge for childhood TB diagnosis 🧒🩸 tinyurl.com/4z7vv4j9 @TheLancetInfDis - see you there for a great discussion.

@achimwenewo And tizidutswa they keep for Malawi market and export the high quality mango pieces...

Just opened a packet of dried mangoes and there’s mould

Was great to be part of the interaction between Prof. @BertieSquire and our PhD candidates in Kuhes. @HusseinTwabi @robinasemphere @MadaloThindwa @kuhes_rsc @nor

What a stunning example of the modern medical miracle of vaccination. Imagine a world without the horrors inflicted by cervical cancer... it's real possibility now, thanks to vaccines 💙 You can read excellent, trustworthy, NHS advice on vaccines here: nhs.uk/conditions/vac…
