The Crash Course Lecture on the history (and present) of tuberculosis will premiere on Monday: https://www.youtube.com/crashcourse

I have to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who has been involved in this project behind the scenes for months. Everyone I've worked with at USAID, but especially Cheri Vincent and Atul Gawande, have been awesome, as has the PIH community--especially Garrett Wilkinson and Dr. Salmaan Keshavjee. In the Philippines, I'm so grateful to the Department of Health for prioritizing tuberculosis and all the activists and NGOs who are making this plan a reality. This is just the beginning, but it's been an amazing beginning.
