Dear @camillezazyx.bsky.social, thank you so very much for the reshare! We now have 17 completed. 30 is our goal before Friday next week. Thank you again!!!

Professors, instructors, researchers: How are you teaching lab notebook skills? Paper? Digital? Both? We’re gathering data for an ACS abstract due in 1 week — your input is vital! tinyurl.com/LabNotebookSurvey01 Please? @linseymarr.bsky.social @loganemitchell.bsky.social @corsiaq.bsky.social

I don't understand why anyone would think it wasn't airborne, it was clear on day 1. Reasons for this lie could be... Money 🤑 💰 You can't go spend money 🤑 if you are scared of the air 🤔 And work in the "mines" to make 💰💰💰 for the guys on top, "let's not spend money on protection use propaganda!"

𝗣𝗵𝗗𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲’𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂! When you first started graduate-level research, rate your lab notebook skills... See 𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙮𝙪𝙧𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝙢/𝙒𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙇𝙖𝙗𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙚𝘽 A. I was well-trained & confident B. I had some experience C. I was unprepared D. What's a lab notebook? See also: twitter.com/citlanx/stat...

Ventilation in my lab yesterday. Maintained 22.9 #ACH 2nd hour. First hour 9.88 ACH (air changes per hour). 24 students + 1 instructor in a 450 m³ room. Pre-occupancy CO₂: 538 ppm First hour average peak: 615 ppm Second hour: 585 ppm See tinyurl.com/ACHcalc1 #Aranet4 #SAFEindoorAir #SchoolCO2

For those PhDs on LinkedIn, I have a one question survey. Will you please answer it for me? Thank you! www.linkedin.com/posts/activi...

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.

Excellent lecture by @holdenthorp.bsky.social (Research Integrity and Scholarly Excellence @virginiatech.bsky.social) about regaining public trust in science: be humble and meticulous, admit mistakes and correct them, answer questions. Universities should shift their focus toward teaching.

Do you still use paper lab notebooks in your lab courses—or have you gone digital? 🧪📓💻 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. We’d love your insights #ChemEd #LabNotebook

🎥 Clip from the original 2 Dec 2022 broadcast. UVU will receive 75 #Aranet4 Home units next week. Students will collect data manually with the Home version. Thanks @mikeandersonksl.bsky.social for covering these vital air quality stories! #IAQ #CO2 #UTed #PublicHealth @aranethome.bsky.social

Weber State & now UVU are on board with #Aranet4. Slowly but surely people, smart people, are catching on to #IAQ (indoor air quality). Dr. Micah Ross, Biology Department, at UVU will oversee data collection with 75 #Aranet4 Home units. Weber State employed 20 Pro units. www.ksl.com/article/5053...

Researchers have created a capacitive biosensor capable of continuously detecting H5N1 in the air. It detects the presence of the virus at concentrations well below an infectious dose. cen.acs.org/analytical-c... 🧪

Absolutely devastating study released last week on North American pollinator biodiversity: "We assessed the extinction risk of nearly 1,600 species of vertebrate and insect pollinators and found that more than one in five species is at risk of extinction."

NEW: dollar amounts of the NIOSH cuts, by location. Are voters in Ohio and West Virginia and Pittsburgh aware that they’re being targeted?

A reminder to medical professionals that 1 in 10 have long covid in the UK. There is a mountain of research showing immune dysregulation, organ damage caused from catching any SARSCoV2 infection (however seemingly mild in acute infection) there is viral persistence. Please wear a respie #ffp3

I've watched all 50min. Lying lies, as expected. This is a good @chrismurphyct.bsky.social thread but sadly only on X.

Insightful review @nature.com by @linseymarr.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Yup, this would have brought together experts to share the latest findings on respiratory virus transmission. The meeting is canceled, but the continuing spread and evolution of H5N1 and other respiratory pathogens is not. In the middle of the game, the defense is walking off the field.

"Masks [N95s] and ventilation/filtration help prevent spread" Thank you! @kkjetelina.bsky.social Flu breaking records, measles, tuna recall, and federal workers fired open.substack.com/pub/yourloca...

The loss of research and clinical funding (USAID, PEPFAR, NIH, CDC, etc) directly impacts human beings in trials, who are being treated for HIV/TB/malaria, and who are now at greater risk of dying. The halt of funding is unethical and violates our commitments to study participants and to patients.

A great find! This from 1966! HT: Maarten De Cock It truly is beyond me, why we don't see more of these kinds of videos for #influenza, #RSV, #SARS_CoV_2 The studies are out there by the boatloads, but somehow dismissed by public health. @donmilton.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=poPY...

Please come risk your health; donating blood in an airtight building where it is preached & taught that one can miraculously prevent the spread of an aerosol infection by simply washing hands. #FLUisAirborne #RSVisAirborne #COVIDisAirborne #TBisAirborne @erictopol.bsky.social @njbbari3.bsky.social

"Although this year’s flu vaccine isn’t the best match, it is still a defense we have against this virus." Dr. @kkjetelina.bsky.social, you know about filtration, effective ACH and ventilation. Then why not mention that as our best defense? & avoid indoor crowds! open.substack.com/pub/yourloca...

"Good question!! Why not train the staff, and why don’t hospital workers have PPE provided by their employer (whether public or private) and be required to use it? A team of doctors and nurses getting sick or acting as potential vectors for respiratory diseases inside a hospital is absurd!"
