World TB Day
So how many of you actually knew that tomorrow is World TB Day?Of course it's sorta cheating if you work at Trudeau, since I'm sure there are posters in some of the labs about it.
At LSHTM we're having guest speakers:
- Hazel Dockrell to talk "Towards correlates of protection against tuberculosis"
- Ruth McNerney to talk about "Smelling tuberculosis: TBees and zNoses"
- Peter Godfrey-Faussett to talk about "Zambia & South Africa TB and AIDS reduction study (ZAMSTAR)".
What are you doing to Stop TB???
