New study by Linsey Marr: “We aerosolized SARS-CoV-2 & pulled it through masks. After 1hr we were able to recover infectious virus from fabric masks but not an N95 or surgical mask. When we pressed artificial skin against the masks we found viral RNA but no infectious virus on the skin.” #MasksWork

Stability of Aerosolized SARS-CoV-2 on Masks and Transfer to Skinpubs.acs.org The potential for masks to act as fomites in the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 has been suggested but not demonstrated experimentally or observationally. In this study, we aerosolized a suspension of SAR...

We got tricked by science fiction into thinking a futuristic city is all about flying cars and crystal towers and hologram billboards but what it really looks like is nice apartment blocks, good mass transit, pedestrian zones with shade trees and safe bike lanes.

As academics, we should not tolerate such behavior. Words have consequences. Institutions bear responsibility and, like those threatening and falsely accusing scientists and public health officials, should be held accountable. That is not happening. Instead, scientists fear for their lives.

I urge you to read Dr. Fauci's transcribed interview where he goes into more detail about the threats to him and his family, including how the extreme rhetoric from politicians and other academics fuel this. This needs much more focus. Below, page one more clearly displayed. The rest follows 👇.

To the question of "is this what we have become", I *strongly* encourage you to watch this clip from CNN of Dr. Fauci talking about the threats to him and his family. Pay close attention to the guy on his right. Yes, this is what we have become. www.cnn.com/2024/06/03/p...

People are still confused about this, so let's be clear - the evidence shows that ivermectin DOES NOT WORK for COVID-19. The data showing that it worked turned out to be fake. We've now done large studies showing that it has no benefit as a treatment.

Utter bullshit

In the alternative Republican universe “experimental” COVID vaccines “killed more people than COVID,” and “lockdowns were the most devastating event is U.S. history.” COVID was “the flu” and “created by scientists in a lab” so “the totalitarian leftist government could control you.” Bullshit.

Great session on indoor air and infection at CPHA with Prof Amy Li, Dr Raymond Tellier and Dr Mustafa Hirji. Kathleen Gadd and Dorothy Wigmore brought air cleaners and I subsequently felt safe enough to lose the respirator :)

Just incredible news on reviving Voyager I. Think of it: a computer chip 15 billion(!) miles away is broken. The solution is to repackage & move key software, w/ code sent via radio signal that takes 22+ hrs to reach that little 46yr old machine. AND IT IS WORKING. blogs.nasa.gov/voyager/2024...

I'd love for people to accept/support elastomeric masks. $35, fitted, with a minimum five year lifepan. So economic. Environmentally friendly. Alas, not even allowed in my hospital system.

The images of the planes just rolling through a flat surface of water at Dubai airport...........it's so stunning to me how we're delivered the physical imagery of the climate crisis every few weeks, each time in a completely new way. None of this is subtle at all.

Let's talk about "The Wedge Strategy" as it applies to creationism, vaccines, and science denialism of all stripes. The name derives from a document drafted in 1998 by leadership at the Discovery Institute & marked "Top Secret" and "Not For Distribution", but leaked by an HR contractor.

Agreed. That's why LLMs are currently useful for finding things and not for giving you reliable statements. If you can't or won't inspect each output's truth value, don't use them.
