Very excited to share recent 📹 of our @LIGHTonTB work @MLW_Programme in 🇲🇼. (Genius outtake! 😆idea credit to @JHG_LFC) Overall question: how much #TB can be ⬇️ at popn level by targeting men w/ community-based #TB active case finding strategies in 🇲🇼? What are we doing? 🧵

📽️VIDEO! @MphaDSP outlines how his modelling work is helping with⤵️ 🔎 finding and treating young men with undiagnosed #TB in Blantyre 🇲🇼 📉reducing transmission within the community, including to women and children Check it out! ⤵️ 📽️ youtu.be/1wv5G4374e4?si… @MLW_Programme

Just back from a fantastic week with @LIGHTonTB colleagues at #LIGHTAbuja2024 discussing strategies for a gender-responsive approach to #EndTB. Many thanks to @ZankliC for hosting, to all who presented their work, and to everyone who worked behind the scenes to make it happen!

Day 3 @LIGHTAbuja2024 wrapped up with powerful discussions on stories of change & gender-equitable access to TB care. Inspiring insights and meaningful progress were shared! @FCDOHealthRes #LIGHTonTB #LIGHTonNigeria

What a week! One word to summarise the 7th Global Forum on TB Vaccines: #Optimism. The prospect of imminent adolescent & adult TB vaccines gives the global TB community hope for a future without #TB. Sentiments also shared by Sir Jeremy Farrar, WHO Chief Scientist. #7GF #EndTB

The folks at @ISBA_events tell me my book Statistical Rethinking has won the 2024 DeGroot Prize for its contributions to "statistical inference, decision theory and statistical applications". This is huge honor especially given the previous winners, who have influenced me so much

Managing student/colleague confusion and failure is so important. I know this because I am managing my own all the time. We all fall down (from Lecture 18):

There's a part in Statistical Rethinking by @rlmcelreath where he writes something like "If you're confused, it's ok you should be, it's because you're just trying to understand"

In our new short report in @JIDJournal, we estimate that half of all Mtb transmission occurs before individuals would be expected to access healthcare - and 80% of this transmission is attributable to subclinical disease. bit.ly/4ddE9yn
