When asked, “How does it feels to marry a genius?” Marie Curie said: “Go ask my husband.”
From the beginning of the 20th century, her example has enabled the role of women in science to be improved, but more generally in the world of work.

TB remains the most underfunded infectious disease…The available funding for TB is unacceptably low, in 2020 the funding gap for TB was 68% - @LucicaDitiu calls for increase in investments to #endTB at The Union-North America Region’s 2022 TB Conference.

[TB Alliance @TBAlliance]

The world is not on track to treat 40 million people with TB by the end of 2022. @StopTB calls for an increase in funding and a more comprehensive #TB response for all. Only then can we #endTB and save millions of lives. https://t.co/iHrnCHlZSb

Congratulations Indonesia👏👏 President @Jokowi signed a Presidential Regulation on the Prevention of TB with the TB Management to achieve elimination targets by 2030. This is great news for the country’s and global efforts to #endTB!

Very sad, the TB field has lost a true legend. David was hugely influencial (still is) and knowledgeable. Always very straight talking - an attribute that I hold in high regard!

[Professor Gurdyal Singh Besra FMedSci FRS @gurdyalbesra]

Sadly, Professor David Minnikin from the University of Birmingham passed away yesterday lunchtime, peacefully after a short-illness. I would like to let everyone who knew him reflect on what was a truly gifted and inspirational scientist. He will be missed.
