Thank you @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social for coming to Global Fund and @stoptb.bsky.social office yesterday to discuss #EverythingisTB. Although it was a room of people converted to the cause of fighting for #TB it was a hopeful and inspiring discussion which is very needed right now!

#TBScience has now launched it's call for abstracts. The themes this year are:
- New frontiers in TB treatment development and monitoring
- Artificial Intelligence advancing the TB field
