We’re very close to a new breakthrough in science. Clinical trials for new tuberculosis #TB vaccines remain on track, and will deliver efficacy results within the next two years showing how well the vaccines work.

TB is still the world’s deadliest infectious disease, yet no new vaccine has been approved in over 100 years.

As these clinical trials proceed, we need to ensure that the novel TB vaccines, will be available equitably across the world to meet the global target of reducing new cases by 80% by 2030.

Yes.

Writing is not a second thing that happens after thinking. The act of writing is an act of thinking. Writing *is* thinking.

Students, academics, and anyone else who outsources their writing to LLMs will find their screens full of words and their minds emptied of thought.

As biomaterials become increasingly central in immunotherapies, vaccines and tissue regeneration, engineers must embrace immune complexity in their models and frameworks to develop therapies that balance personalization with generalization and feasibility. https://t.co/9lJmSuB7xz
