A caregiver dad, Bradley Cooper and how a national crisis inspired an unexpected film "Caregiving," which premieres June 24 on PBS, by Bradley Cooper, highlights the struggles of Americans trying to care for a loved one.

"I feel like I'm being punished for doing the right thing" is something i deeply relate to in my caregiving experience. Our systems need to change

I love the sunglasses on strings! Losing them is definitely a concern for me lol. I frequently misplace my non rx sunglasses, so giving them a home is smart. Thanks for sharing!

Cory Booker just gave the longest speech in the history of Congress and concluded by apologizing to everyone who had to stay up all night keeping the chamber open and operating.

A Review of Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green When Everything is Tuberculosis was officially announced last year, many TBFighters, myself included, had fun riffing on the book’s title…

I wrote a review of @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social 's new book, Everything is Tuberculosis, which I loved very much and which comes out on Tuesday.

I am heading home after 2 days in Washington DC

I've heard so many heart-breaking stories from my American scientist friends and colleagues...

Their pain, distress and anxiety cannot be put in words

They truly deserve better

If you don't believe us do some research yourself (or read the article i linked via TBFighters). It was incorrectly reported at first that the Kansas outbreak was the largest in recorded history, but it's since been corrected. Also, we only began recording in the 1950s after treatment was discovered

It is very important to talk about the TB outbreak and educate each other! That's why we (Hannah included) are TB activists. But it's also important the get the facts right, and this is definitely not the biggest US outbreak in recorded history, that was incorrectly reported

An infographic titled "Tuberculosis Myth" with a TBFighters hourglass logo in the upper right corner. 
"Myth: Tuberculosis is a disease of the past. Fact: Tuberculosis (TB) is the world's deadliest infectious disease. The CDC estimates that ~23% of the world's population was infected with TB in 2018. At least 1.25 million people died of TB in 2023, according to the World Health Organization."

The Gilded Age may have ended in the 1900s but consumption, more commonly known as #Tuberculosis, didn’t end in the past. In fact, TB is still the deadliest infectious disease in the world, even though it’s curable! #IDSky
