@openaeros.bsky.social has done what many thought was impossible:  create a low-cost, open source condensation particle counter. It’s the core technology needed for high-performance mask fit testing, and we are excited to show off our progress.  Big thanks to Balvi for believing in us.
It’s been a long road  but we are so excited to share  our progress on the world’s first open source, low-cost, condensation particle counter! What is it and why should you care? @masknerd.bsky.social explains why this CPC is a BFD. youtu.be/OxQSAvvOpw4

I take this personally, masks are still a big deal to me!😂 In all seriousness I am sad to see @ProjectN95 wrap up, and Mask-C close up too. Masks, when well fitted are a really simple and easy tool to avoid infection by Flu/RSV/Covid www.nytimes.com/2023/12/05/b...

I just noticed that Family Mask is offering a sample pack of every size of the Savewo Ultra 3D, a good option if you are trying to figure out what size works for you. Only $5 plus shipping. www.family-masks.com/products/ult...

Another flight, yet another V-Flex. Reducing my inhaled dose and making sure I show up to AAAR in Portland ready to talk about the OpenCPC . If you are at AAAR come swing by the Tuesday poster session, 2IM.15, and see if in real life!

Yet another flight and yet another V-Flex. Wearing a highly breathable mask makes travel easy and reduces my inhaled dose so that I can get my work done and back home without interruption. #Vflexgang

The origins of MaskNerd: 3 years and 1 month ago I purchased my first KF94, and asked the simple question, "Is it real and how well does it work?". Not in a million years did I think that simple question would have changed my life so dramatically.
