Have we misunderstood TB's timeline?
The number of people estimated to be latently infected with TB - that is infected with TB, which has not yet manifested symptoms - is around 2 billion. That is 1 in 3 people on the planet are infected by the bacteria. The World Health Organization ’s website notes that on average 5-10% of those infected with TB will develop active TB.
That number is terrifying, but a new analysis published in the BMJ, suggests that the assumption that latent TB often has a very long incubation period of many years may be wrong - and that may change how we calculate the number of people affected, and our whole approach to tackling the di...

"Disclaimer Explainer" -- The Discovery Files
A team of scientists, led by Carnegie Mellon University, used artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to crawl 7,000 of the most popular websites' privacy policies and identify those that contain language about data collection and use, third-party sharing, data retention and user choice, among other privacy issues. The project website enables people to navigate machine-annotated privacy policies and jump directly to statements of interest to them, including those often buried deep in the text of privacy policies.
