Sure is telling to see scientists up in arms about a few week delay in grant reviews but utterly silent about the cancelling of the diversity initiatives they’ve been trumpeting for a decade.

@j_g_allen Coming full circle. 119 years ago—in 1905—Massachusetts already had a 30 cfm/person ventilation mandate for schoolhouses: "the apparatus will supply at least thirty cubic feet of air per minute for each scholar accommodated in the rooms" google.com/books/edition/…

Possible legislation to improve Indoor Air Quality in the US: great news! Especially that it is bipartisan, so that it has a chance to pass. But just the fact that it has been introduced is great news. Even a few months ago people were discussing this as nearly impossible

@US_FDA Given data showing Novavax is superior to the mRNA platform for both longevity (see thread quoted below please) & reactogenicity (less side effects), why hasn’t the FDA moved to issue a Novavax EUA for kids < 12 years old? Children are not faring well from serial SARS2 exposure.

"Administrators and leaders of earlier eras, unlike our own, were too deeply committed to education, discussion, and open debate — even when they disagreed with students’ beliefs, tactics, and proposals — to quickly call police to campus to arrest student demonstrators."

The risk of #H5N1 to the general public is currently low. But, what road signs will indicate that risk to humans increases? @cmyeaton + team just published a beautiful risk assessment report. We are currently between scenario 2 and 3 (really 2+ because of the cats).

You may well have the unusual situation of the Columbia student radio station being eligible for a Pulitzer Prize, administered by Columbia University, for the station’s coverage of how Columbia called the cops on Columbia students. (They’re doing an extraordinary job).

16 fans + 5 filters = nearly silent and huge flow of clean air. Add framing on top to reduce noise, isolate fans, and increase available room space by attaching calendars, a white board, etc. Raise with legs to recover floor storage space. #CovidIsAirborne #CorsiRosenthalBox
