So privileged to view a second screening of #SisonkeSavingLives at the Bioscope independent theatre in Jozi this evening . Reminded me of the time of Covid- the lives we lost but also the lives that were saved thanks to vaccines and science and perseverance and tenacity !

The DTHF Aerobiology Unit published their work in PNASNews -- Investigating whether Mtb bacilli are released in infectious aerosols throughout disease, treatment, and recovery phases, is fundamental to understanding TB transmission. Read it here: bit.ly/3UiInOc
