"Early bird catches the worm!" Did you know that #APOPO #HeroRATs are nocturnal? That's why we work alongside our landmine detection rats in the cool hours of the early morning, so they can rest during the heat of the day. 🐭 #africangiantpouchedrat #APOPO #whiskerswednesday

Linking new TB patients to care is crucial in all our projects. #APOPO speeds up result delivery to clinics using motorbike couriers and evening shifts. Partnering with community health workers has improved linking patients to care, aligning with global efforts to #StopTB. #SDG3

It's Thursday, I can smell the weekend from here! Did you know rats have an amazing sense of smell? At #APOPO, #HeroRATs use their powerful noses to detect #landmines, #tuberculosis, and more, capable of smelling in picogram quantities! #clickertraining #powerfulnose #landmines
