PLOS: Announcing our 2021 Scientists for Open Science virtual program - 13 September

                                    

Open Science is core to PLOS’ mission, but it’s you, and the whole research community, who define what Openness really means. Starting September 13th, join us for Scientists for Open Science, our first week-long virtual program bringing together researchers and stakeholders from around the globe to share perspectives on Open Science.

Whether you have 5 minutes, or an hour a day, we would love for you to be involved. We’re assembling experts, gathering together resources, and starting a conversation we hope will continue over the coming months. We’ll explore the drivers behind Open Science, emerging trends, obstacles and experiences—all with the aim of increasing awareness and support, and developing better solutions.  

Participate in our week long virtual conversation to:

  •  learn from peers
  • take self-assessment quizzes
  • contribute your perspectives
  •  vote on crucial issues

Virtual Workshop: Recognition And Control Of Mtb Infected Cells: From Basics To The Clinic | 13 – 14June 2023

The Stop TB Partnership Working Group on New TB Vaccines (WGNV) and the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)are co-hosting a workshop on the topic of Recognition and Control of Mtb Infected Cells: From Basics to the Clinic. This workshop is intended to address the need for correlates and to identify platforms that measure recognition or control of the infected cell - especially in humans - as identified in the EDCTP/AIGHD Global Roadmap for Research and Development of New TB Vaccines and the Strategic Framework for New TB Vaccines in the Stop TB Partnership Global Plan to End TB 2023 - 2030. 

The overall goals of this workshop are to: 

  • elucidate the mechanisms by which the immune system recognizes the Mtb-infected cell 
  • explore the degree to which such recognition can lead to control of the intracellular microbe, and 
  • discuss the translational implications of these observations 

The workshop format will be largely discussion-based. Each session will have three short presentations that will provide a high-level overview of key topics within the session theme, followed by a discussion between the session chairs, speakers, and participants.

This workshop is free of charge and open to any participants interested in this topic.
