How might underfunding for #tuberculosis suggest a dark strategy by affluent nations to control #overpopulation? Is TB being used as a covert tool for population control? These questions inspire the conclusion of my latest publication #EndTB #GlobalHealth taylorfrancis.com/chapters/oa-ed…

What is advertised is not always what is actually sought and factors like gender, race, social capital, etc. play a significant role on academic career progression with mid- & late-career researchers under-represented in the data (Mantai & Marrone 2013; Zacher et al. 2019).
