Henry Reider, his mother Isatu, and @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social were invited to speak at the Union World Conference on Lung Health last week! However, much like Henry's struggle with TB, Henry and Isatu's path to get to the conference was not an easy one #WCLH2025 #TBSky
The TBMAC intro course is always a highlight of #UnionConf, and I loved being a tutor this year! We equipped a new audience with a clear understanding of how TB models are set up and what they can do to drive policy #EndTB #WCLH2025 #GlobalHealth
We had a great few days launching LyoDx at The World Conference on Lung Health in Copenhagen last week. Thanks to everyone who came to speak to us on the stand.

Interesting #epi conversation during session on #TB diagnostics at #WCLH2025 about diagnostic yield and tradeoff between accessibility and sensitivity.
Conclusion: yield of tongue swabs is not inferior to sputum, using both maximizes yield.
