1) follow @nowhitesaviors on instagram,
2) watch Savior Complex documentary series and
3) watch Poverty Inc. documentary.
There are many other great resources, but these are a good start.

More long-read V. cholerae genomes from patients across Bangladesh (2018-19) now out in @microbiologysociety.org #MGEN! Quite a bit of genomic diversity, particularly in the South, and a novel lineage (BD-3) prevalent in Dhaka in early 2019.

Detection of Mucorales antigen in BAL samples using a newly developed lateral-flow device
A Mucorales antigen test is sorely needed
This one had Sn of 76.92%, Sp of 75.51%, respectively, PPV 45.45%, and a NPV 92.5% (Not good enough but could augment qPCR)
