Bit surprised, but the #H5N1 #birdflu case in Ohio tested positive in the hands of the #CDC. Had been told there wasn't a lot of virus in the sample and they might not be able to confirm. That brings the confirmed national total since March 2024 to 70 human cases. www.cdc.gov/bird-flu/sit...

According to a recent NIH study, 4.5% of the people who have had Covid will go on to meet the diagnostic criteria for ME/CFS. There is no cure or treatment for ME/CFS. Patients often experience extreme suffering and a drastic reduction in their quality of life.

If you don’t have #MECFS or #LongCovid you might not understand how exciting this is. It is so rare to find accurate info on these illnesses for the general public. This will be a great basic primer on ME for friends and family.

Any recent PhD (2023 or later) aerosol scientists out there interested in studying airborne transmission of respiratory infections? My group is looking for a postdoc to work on human challenge studies with influenza virus at Emory University. Full description at drive.google.com/file/d/1HzJZ...

Breaking news. Prof Collignon has discovered that built in air supply systems can cause migration of airborne particles. Yes. That is why we are campaigning to get that air properly filtered, preferably at the source.

I teach. I'm interested in cognition, working memory, and the brain. I'm interested in how these are involved in learning. I pay attention to research into the effect of repeated COVID infections on the brain. It's one reason I protect myself and my children from COVID. #EduSky
