"As we reel from the attack on humanity, rage is not wrong. Even as the cold dark night bites, however, all who work for justice need to remember that we are not the dying day, we are the readying dawn" Thank you @benphillips76.bsky.social speakingofmedicine.plos.org/2025/02/13/w...

Just received this photo from a friend of a warehouse in Kinshasa. These are tuberculosis medications--ALREADY PAID FOR--that aren't being distributed due to the Trump Administration's stop work order. TB treatment is being interrupted in SO many patients around the world. What does that mean? (1/2)

A bright light in a dark moment: The price of the critical TB drug bedaquiline has now dropped to $90 per adult treatment course for TB, a 54% reduction since just 2023. This is a huge win for @tbfighters.org and the TB activism community generally. www.stoptb.org/what-we-do/f... (1/2)...

Ending Tuberculosis is a global issue. @StopTBCanada’s report based on a national survey of HC providers reveals alarming gaps in access to essential TB medicines in Canada. Delays, shortages and unjust market forces are holding us back in the fight to #EndTB. Read the report: bit.ly/accesstoTBmeds

It takes curiosity to learn. It takes courage to unlearn. Learning requires the humility to admit what you don't know today. Unlearning requires the integrity to admit that you were wrong yesterday. Learning is how you evolve. Unlearning is how you keep up as the world evolves.
