SOUTH AFRICA: The Sequel

This week I'm flying out to South Africa for my work placement with the Perinatal HIV Research Unit (PHRU) in Soweto. The work that they are doing is incredibly cool and I am unbelievably excited to go! My piece of the project is looking at how the drugs used to treat pregnant mothers for TB might be effecting the drugs they give the babies to prevent HIV transmission. Sounds complicated but I'm assured it comes with field-trips! 

Now all that's left to do is decide which of my work pants will come out the other side of a 30 hour flight in my backpack with the most socially acceptable number of wrinkles. 

More soon!
