Not all aerosol causes harm. Indeed, some are very useful at treating diseases of not only the lungs, but of other conditions as well In my latest explainer video, I introduce the topic of pharmaceutical aerosol. I discuss a bit of its history and some of the underlying advantages and disadvantages

❤️Open to all signatories❤️ Deadline Jan 12 Petition to adopt Health🇨🇦's new IAQ Guidance: bsky.app/profile/mama... No IAQ policy at any level of govt ensuring indoor air is clean & safe to breathe atm Clean air for kids & staff in schools & daycares shouldn’t be controversial 🙏✍️&share Thank you

It’s vital - and will become more so as we try to target AMR infections in the lung for example

Happy New Year! Let’s hope this one is better than the last…

I suppose there is some comfort in knowing that the people they've put in charge have no idea what they are doing. That'll help limit the damage.

Not sure who needs to see this. Some great advice from a beautiful story.

I spoke to the people who continue to shape their lives around avoiding [cholera/typhoid/dysentery] and only drinking ‘clean’ water

One of the reasons why I go so hard on science misinformation/disinformation, is that as a working scientist it is frustrating to see your research misreported to push an agenda. For example, consider this piece of right-wing propaganda from The Telegraph that was just published

I’ve been watching about 2 decades of Jamie Christmas specials in preparation for the big day. Question: why did it use to be so important to put butter under the skin, and now he doesn’t do it? What changed? This is a massive difference in technique, yet no reason has been given. Help!

My hot take: The Last Jedi was the best of the trilogy. Not even close.

This question came up. While somewhat coy, it isn’t actually that simple to answer. Given that I’m an “aerosol scientist”, I figured I take a crack at answering it.

Daniella’s podcast has won a couple more awards. This is a well researched and wonderfully produced podcast that discusses the current state of public health. Interesting, timely, and award winning. Great job!

Many things will affect how well a student will do in school. Some you can control, others you can't One that affects every student (and teacher), and that we can control, is indoor air quality In this video I walk through how and offer some solutions t.co/sSU5efGhHr

Daniella is doing incredible work on a critical subject. I'm so happy to see her work being recognized on a broader scale. CONGRATS!!!!!

There are many other important things happening but Public Health is Dead took home Gold at the W3 Awards in Science & Tech for our work on Something’s in the Air: The Airborne Transmission Error with @ukhadds.bsky.social and Katie Randall. Feel free to let a public health leader near you know.

Violet Affleck made headlines this week with a powerful speech at the UN. In it, she discussed the importance of masking in limiting Covid transmission Her speech also gave us insights into how the right-wing/Murdoch media engages with science in the age of Covid Some thoughts

There’s a reason why they produce these polls. Let’s stop the gaslighting!

Interesting poll. Give it a vote!! www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

It's a really exciting day today. I feel privileged to be able to attend this historic event at the United Nations. This will hopefully be the spark which creates safer, healthier futures for our children. Thanks to those who have worked so hard to make it happen.

I’ve been working and living in the UK for 15 years. This is some bullsh*t. If you plan on voting Reform, let me know so I can personally tell you to piss off. www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

Thanks, Ed! More of this, please. Direct calls for violence by those in positions of power are disgusting, and need to be taken seriously.

Evidently this needs to be said: Do not spray nitric acid into the air in the hopes of limiting viral transmission. More pollution is not the solution. At all.

One year ago today, I officially started a YouTube Channel. I thought I’d take the opportunity to reflect on the year, and talk a little about what the channel is, what it isn’t, and what I’m hoping to accomplish with it.

When scientists say things like, "opening a window lowers the risk of transmission by 38%", where do they get these numbers? Well, they use airborne transmission models. In my latest explainer video I walk through the history of these models, what they do, and what the don't.

Terrible week for science.

If we only had some way to prevent the infections in the first place.

CO2 monitors have become popular tools people can use to estimate their indoor air quality. A new study was recently published that looks into how we can use them to optimise occupancy thresholds and identify problem locations. Actual practical science!!! A thread
