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 ๐ค ๐ฐ You can't go spend money ๐ค if you are scared of the air ๐ค And work in the "mines" to make ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ for the guys on top, "let's not spend money on protection use propaganda!"

SLCC โ SI Building 4535 S Community Blvd (4610 S) Salt Lake City, UT 84123 Attn: D. Eldredge โ Chem Lab Donation (For USPS: SLCC, P.O. Box 30808, SLC, UT 84130-0808) Thank you very much for your willingness to help!
Just the ability to take photos/videos and load the photos to a Google drive, so we would need to connect to WiFi. Thank you!
8/8 Do you have a "junk drawer" phone you would like to donate for a good cause? x.com/citlanx/stat...
7/n ๐ฉโ๐ซ Fellow STEM Instructors: Do you allow or require photo documentation in your labs? How do you address safety, equity, and data permanence? Would love to hear how others are blending visual tools with core scientific habits. #STEMEducation #ChemistryLab
6/n ๐ฌ Real-World Tie-In From #Photo51 to modern lab audits, visual documentation is a cornerstone of scientific research and regulatory compliance.
5/n ๐ Why Photos (videos) Matter Document setups, procedural steps, and final results Create a verifiable, reproducible lab record Strengthen written entries in lab notebooks
4/n This reflects real-world expectations in FDA-regulated and professional labs, where Good Documentation Practices (GDP) are essential. I emphasize: โIf itโs not documented, it didnโt happen.โ
3/n Photos are uploaded to their own Google Drive/cloud, and students paste or handwrite a TinyURL into their notebooks for easy access. (e.g. tinyurl.com/3z6a5bsm shared with permission)

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 coursesโor have you gone digital? ๐งช๐๐ป 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.

4/n Iโll always be grateful for her guidance, encouragement, and the example she set as an exceptional educator and mentor. She was the best!
3/n Dr. Ellenberger opened doors I hadnโt imagined. She had me lead in-lecture presentations a memorable one, iodide/acetone reactionsโa precise technique to get that fraction of a drop needed to reach the endpoint. It was always a thrill, and she praised me so much for it!
2/n #IWD25 Dr. Ellenberger gave me the opportunity to grade her students' Chem lab reportsโabout 600 per week! But beyond the workload, what stood out was the trust she placed in me and the confidence she instilled through her mentorship.
1/n #IWD25 Dr. Suzanne Ellenberger had a profound impact on my early career in the early 1990s. As a TA I sat in her lectures, completely mesmerized by her ability to teach with such clarity, passion, & effectiveness. I felt inspired & motivated. chem.uga.edu/directory/people/suzanne-ellenberger

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...

"Although this yearโs flu vaccine isnโt 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...
There are two versions. One with and one without the music.
"Good question!! Why not train the staff, and why donโt 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!"
Stern argument with the respiratory technician. She was only donning a ASTM III (yellow surgical), She started giving me the droplet dogma & I just flat out, knee jerk reaction, said "Bull shi*!" She then donned a 3M Aura. @ihrice.bsky.social why doesn't Intermountain educate staff?
Is it on YouTube? BlueSky handles YouTube pretty well.
Let's get this same momentum cleaning the indoor air! This is where we spend most of our time! Yes, the outdoor air impacts the indoor air, but what most people don't get; infectious aerosols transmit indoors. #MERV13 filters with high airflow #CADR can do wonders. @corsiaq.bsky.social #CRBox

What the two galaxies look like now as predicted by GPT, of course it will take another 114 million years for those on this planet to see it as it really is now.
A few years ago, scientists found a nearly complete skeleton of a 26,000-year-old red fox deep inside a Uinta cave. Because of the difficulty of getting fragile bones out of the cave and down the mountain, the skeleton, nicknamed "Roxy," was not collected until this past summer.

What worries me most is how the Covid-19 pandemic has divided societies, how its lessons will go unheeded, how vital research will go unfunded, how scientists will be discredited, and how our ignorance will leave us more vulnerable to future infectious threats. 13/13
Also, what is the probability that each person infected also once in the last 4-5 years had been exposed to #SARS_CoV_2?
