En 2022, Malalai huía por su vida, enviándome mensajes de texto frenéticamente. Como fiscal afgana altamente educada, sacó a los líderes talibanes, facilitadores y fabricantes de bombas del campo de batalla y los metió tras las rejas. Esto redujo los riesgos para las fuerzas estadounidenses, pero aumentó la amenaza para su vida. Después del regreso al poder de los talibanes, esos prisioneros fueron liberados y la contactaron diciendo que venían a por ella. Ya habían llegado hasta su esposo.

In 2022, Malalai was running for her life, frantically texting me. As a highly educated Afghan prosecutor, she took Taliban leaders, facilitators and bomb makers off the battlefield and put them behind bars. This reduced risks to U.S. forces but increased the threat to her life. After the Taliban’s return to power, those prisoners were released and had contacted her saying they were coming after her. They had gotten to her husband already. Fortunately, he had escaped.

Revealing the fundamental characteristics which underpin the optical and electronic response of material systems with micro- and nanoscale geometry is essential for the development of future communication and computing technologies. Terahertz (THz) spectroscopy has become a powerful approach for noncontact material characterization, providing direct access to collective charge, spin and lattice excitations as well as light-induced dynamics over ultrafast time scales.

Summary Tuberculosis is a preventable disease. However, there is debate regarding which individuals would benefit most from tuberculosis preventive treatment and whether these benefits vary in settings with a high burden and low burden of tuberculosis. We aimed to compare the effectiveness of tuberculosis preventive treatment in exposed individuals of differing ages and Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection status while considering tuberculosis burden of the settings.
