"Really important thread ๐Ÿงต HT: @catinthehat.bsky.social There were so many BIG wins in the Covid Inquiry M3 report. So many of the things CATA & other core participants fought for were completely vindicated: ๐Ÿšจaerosol transmission ๐Ÿšจventilation ๐ŸšจAGPs dead in the water โ€ฆBUT some big omissions tooโ€ฆ"

#Aranet PM, COโ‚‚, radon monitored. Windows cracked = radon low. Closed = yikes ๐Ÿ˜ฌ. Radon pump on hand, not installed. No rush. Heating bill? $75/yr (USDA wood permit). EPA-certified woodstove, dead Uinta NF trees put to use instead of rotting into CHโ‚„ + COโ‚‚.

Why let bad air build up in the first place? It should be a steady constant cleaning and filtering. It is not like trying to determine when your soapy kitchen sink dishwater needs changed. We keep our windows cracked open 2 cm and run air cleaners all day. HVAC is not on auto but runs continiously

"My Employee Was Upset I Told Him to Drive, Not Fly, on Business Travel." Would you want to fly or drive for 5 h. You likely arrive at the same time. If I have to drive with colleagues, I just as well fly. I do enjoy driving solo, though I hate heavy traffic.

The relative contribution of close-proximity contacts, shared classroom exposure and indoor air quality to respiratory virus transmission in schools - Nature Communications

The relative importance of close-proximity interactions, shared space and air quality to the transmission of respiratory viruses is not well understood. Here, the authors investigate this question by ...

I don't understand why anyone would think it wasn't airborne, it was clear on day 1. Reasons for this lie could be...

Why must they grow up? This was taken on 17 May 2008. My little girl is gone...now an adult, facing life with new challenges. Like the hour hand on a clock, you cannot see it move, but looking back, you realize it never stood still.

A Camera is one way to do it! #photo51 1/n

Photo 51 is an iconic X-ray diffraction image of DNA taken by Rosalind Franklin and Raymond Gosling in 1952. This image played a crucial role in the discovery of DNA's double-helix structure, which was later published by James Watson and Francis Crick. While Watson and Crick received the Nobel Prize for their work, Franklin's contribution, including Photo 51, was not fully acknowledged.

Do you still use paper lab notebooks in your lab coursesโ€”or have you gone digital? ๐Ÿงช๐Ÿ““๐Ÿ’ป A small research team (including some of my undergrads) is developing a new #ACS publication focused on modern lab notebook pedagogy in undergraduate science programs. Weโ€™d love your insights #ChemEd #LabNotebook
