- Our work on modelling population-wide screening in Viet Nam is now available in PLOS Global Public Health! tinyurl.com/3ymhuj5s
- 1/ 📢 In our new PREPRINT - tinyurl.com/2pmudzrk - we evaluate how symptom-agnostic, population-wide screening interventions could significantly reduce the TB burden in Viet Nam. These require a substantial front-loaded investment but yield lasting cost savings. 🧵 #Tuberculosis #TBSky

- Reposted by Alvaro SchwalbIn our latest personal view in @lancetrespirmed.bsky.social, we argue for the inclusion asymptomatic #tuberculosis in vaccine trial endpoints to potentially reduce the size, length, and cost of trials. doi.org/10.1016/S221... @lshtm-tbmod.bsky.social @tb-lshtm.bsky.social
- Kicking off the #CausalIntroCourse in Leeds. Hoping this will finally give me the tools to convince my mum that walking around the house barefoot ^^doesn’t^^ cause a cold.

- Reposted by Alvaro Schwalb#Tuberculosis prevention and care relies heavily on international donor funding in many settings. In our latest preprint, we examine the potential impact of reductions in international donor funding for #TB - by the US and by other major donor countries. 1/8 www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...
- Reposted by Alvaro SchwalbNew pre-print modelling impact of US funding cuts on HIV, #TB, MCH and family planning. We estimate impact of termination of US funding to NTPs via #USAID & The Global Fund may lead to 2.2 (1.5-2.9) million excess TB deaths between 2025 and 2040, reversing over a decade of progress. bit.ly/4lowp18

- I’m thrilled to share that I’ve submitted my PhD thesis at LSHTM (@lshtm.bsky.social) with the TB Modelling Group (@lshtm-tbmod.bsky.social)! The past three years have been an incredible journey, and I’m so proud of all that’s been accomplished. Excited to continue working in TB research! #TBSky

- Reposted by Alvaro SchwalbNew preprint (with all pre-print caveats!) tinyurl.com/589ffhu4 on Mtb infection risk by sex & age. Men are at higher risk of #tuberculosis v women- but unclear how much driven by higher infection vs progression to disease. We meta-analysed Mtb immunoreactivity surveys to find out more🧵 #tbsky

- I love how shocked they look.
- Great to see more TB modellers joining. Welcome @richardwhite321.bsky.social, @cfmcquaid.bsky.social, and, of course, @tb-mac.bsky.social!
- I’ve started a TB Modelling starter pack that I plan on editing as more people join. Please prompt me if I haven’t added you yet! go.bsky.app/9XWLFX4at://did:plc:l2y7yxb3rxh2xcwpdabozx2e/app.bsky.graph.starterpack/3lb4so47g772j
