Highlights on Twitter this fortnight: Read an article addressing the barriers in obtaining a visa for LMIC members attending global health events; take a look at an open access journal that's publishing articles on lung health and tuberculosis; a PowerPoint guide on how to write abstracts that capture your audience; USAID announced a 5 year, $300 million commitment to the fight against TB; an interesting image of a sand fly infected with Leishmania from a Gnatwork-funded transformative science project; Madhukar Pai's suggestions on future TB conferences; an article on how counsellors gently engage new parents before their doubts on vaccines harden into certainty; and a graphic showing what % of each country disagrees that vaccines are safe. All this and more @NetworkVALIDATE where you can easily keep up to date on news and opinions in our field.
