Re: WPC 20K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
I can only imagine.
I applied for a PhD position in a lab that works under safety 3 conditions, but with Brucella. This lab is shared with a tuberculosis group. However I then took another offer and now I'm working with the most harmless bacterium imaginable, Caulobacter ;-)
safety level 3 is correct. Its very hard yo work with tb. Generation times are anywhere from 18-30 hours. And if an experiment doesn't work, its a week down the drain.
Its difficult to change perceptions that people have about tb, so publishing is difficult. If there are results that people do not expect, they just reject it.
