The following project was created by Josh Berthiaume, a student from the University of New Hampshire majoring in B.S. in Biomedical Sciences with a concentration in Medical Microbiology. Josh’s project explores the use of multiple social media platforms to promote NTDs awareness. Josh created a, educational TikTok account and a YouTube channel that explain various NTDs. The first entries in these accounts discuss the transmission, pathogenesis, treatment, and diagnosis of amebic meningoencephalitis, toxoplasmosis, and babesiosis.
