Great to have had almost all of @lshtm.bsky.social's TB Modelling Group together at #UnionConf2024!
Reflecting on this year’s #TB #UnionConf2024 and am so inspired by the brilliant minds and groundbreaking research being done to combat this global health threat. Special shoutout to the TB Modelling Group @lshtm.bsky.social 🫁

This is a great thread on #UnionConf2024, and useful for anyone who like me was not able to attend.

Thank you for putting together. #TBSky #IDSky
#UnionConf2024 has wrapped up, and what a conference! Some fascinating talks and great discussions. Seems to me that there are more questions than answers right now in #TBSky but its an exciting time..

Some personal highlights (in no particular order):

Honored to have presented my recent work on social contact and mobility patterns at #UnionConf2024. Where people go and who they interact with has implications for different #TB interventions

And just in time for #UnionConf2024 delighted to be joined here by colleagues @ucltb.bsky.social.

Do give them a follow for all the cool TB work coming out of our university!

#UnionConf2024 great sessions in TBScience🧪this morning on heterogeneity in TB. Why are men more susceptible? Does ancestry play a role? And who resists infection?

Very nice to see that we have a plenary session on asymptotic TB (previously known as subclinical TB) during #UnionConf2024. Very important topic to understand better to adjust our epidemiological estimates and #PublicHealth interventions!

#UnionConf2024 Soumya Swaminathan talks about the links between #UHC and #tuberculosis access to care.
Measuring access and quality of TB care can be a good barometer of UHC.

Taking a short break from #UnionConf2024 to migrate from Twitter (never X) to BlueSky.

Taking a longer break from work to write some papers and ponder next moves.

Interests: TB, HIV, health systems.

Christophe Perrin @msf.bsky.social #AccessCampaign tells the stories of advocacy around the pricing of bedaquiline to improve access.
The pharmaceutical industry benefits from great amounts of public funding yet continues taking extremely aggressive measures limiting access.

Over seventy #tuberculosis activists took the stage at the opening of the global #UnionConf2024 on lung health to demand Danaher drop the price of their tests to $5! #TBSky msfaccess.org/msf-and-glob...
MSF and global TB activists take stage at annual TB conference

#UnionConf2024 Why are 1.3m people still dying of TB? Despite increasing access to TB drugs we need to do more. Lots of wins getting drug prices down but battles take time and effort- people die waiting!
Great talk by Christopher Perrin

Evaluating the impact of #TB interventions is important. Our poster for #UnionConf2024 explores the effect of contamination in cluster randomised trials and potential solutions. Full paper coming out soon in #IJTLD!

As always, #UnionConf2024 was fantastic. This year, I especially enjoyed the TBScience sessions, focus on pharmacology and discussions with catching up with colleagues. Bali was magnificent 🏖️

Very glad to have joined the #UnionConf2024 session on #tuberculosis and #ClimateChange: outstanding presentation of the issue from all sides: links between the two, lessons to be learned from climate advocacy, modelling the effects of climate change on TB, and future research priorities!

🌍 Busy week 🤹juggling #UnionConf2024 and keeping an eye on #PandemicAccord talks #INB12 in Geneva. Here are my takeways (mostly built on the very timely sharing by civil society advocates and expert journalists in Geneva - find those folks here go.bsky.app/8LcV61S).

Lots of discussion on phase 3 TB vaccine trials at #UnionConf2024. We desperately need more trial sites but hearing stories of sites/countries feeling abused by sponsors as delays in site initiation/IP and competitive recruitment mean “less favored” sites likely to end up out of pocket.

Major international conferences like #TB #UnionConf2024 can be overwhelming, especially for #neurodiverse folks. The batik artists' work in the #CommunityConnect space was a beautiful and grounding reminder of the intersection between #art and #science
