Join me and other TB writers for an awesome discussion this Friday in New York City (Also available via livestream!!). Register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/tuberculosis-history-and-its-discontents-tickets-717986857017 (first come first serve!)

This is very good news for people living with tuberculosis, and expands testing capabilities significantly. But it also isn't the end. Further progress could be made, especially with extensively drug resistant TB test cartridges--and we should advocate for that respectfully and compassionately.
