The good news: 2.2 billion #malaria cases and 12.7 million deaths have been averted since 2000.
The bad news: after years of steady declines, progress has stalled.

This week my students & I had the great honor to welcome researcher, founder & whistleblower Tyler Shultz. He e-visited our lecture to talk about his career, blood testing and how he became a whistleblower against Theranos.
Thank you so very much for taking the time to speak to us, Tyler!
