Pranay and Leo dive into a brilliant new paper modeling nine different TB interventions across Brazil, India, and South Africa. Do we have the tools to end TB? Or do we have to reach beyond our existing toolkit?

TB or not TB

Episode 1: How do we end TB?

What's on the radar at this year's Union Conference in Rio de Janeiro? Pranay and Leo geek out over TB trials, biomarkers, tongue swabs, social protection, and the sessions you can't miss — plus a few you've never heard of.
 
Join us for TuberculoSips at Via 11, a beach kiosk 10 minute walk from the conference venue, and Leo might buy you a drink.

TB, or not TB, that is the question: 
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer 
The slings and arrows of outrageous epidemics, 
Or to take arms against this vile infection, 
And by discovering and discussing, end them.

Pranay Sinha and Leo Martinez, a clinician and an epidemiologist, pick a paper each episode and discuss what works, what doesn't, and what the models might be missing. 
Two friends, reading together, thinking out loud, getting smarter in public.
