Tuberculosis Course

Everything you always wanted to know about TB but were afraid to ask

Purpose:

Megan Murray designed this for her own research group when she recognized how difficult it is to get “up to speed” on all the different aspects of TB. It is too often assumed that we all share some general set of facts or definitions about TB and in this rarefied academic setting, it can be hard to ask questions that reveal gaps in one’s knowledge. Here, she hopes to fill those gaps – at the risk of repeating what you may already know – and provide a space for us all to ask questions that will enable us to better pursue our work.
