How respirators & filters actually work and which type is best? I see many claims that masks/filters don't work. This document will explain how they block viruses much smaller than the size of the holes in the filter and why you can still smell nasty things while wearing effective masks. 🧪🧵1/

some ways to generate electricity A) use sunlight to drive photosynthesis in plants, let plants die, wait ~100 million years, dig up fossilized plants, burn plants, use heat to boil water, use steam to drive a rotating turbine, use generator to make electrons B) use sunlight to make electrons

Seriously?! You’re telling me that a government is arguing against providing clean drinking water, a basic human right and the absolute minimum expectation of any government. How our public values and debate have degenerated!

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford Medicine have devised an influenza vaccine that prompts immunity to ALL four major flu subtypes AND shows potential against bird flu, indicating a significant advancement in flu prevention and a potential increase in vaccine efficacy. Let’s talk about that! 🧪🧵⬇️

I encourage folks to move away from New Year's resolutions and instead focus on intentions. Rather than treat yourself like a machine with production value, think about your dreams. What makes you feel good? Aim for those things. Don't guilt yourself all year. Let yourself grow.

#LongCovid mirrors #me/cfs in key ways, esp. post-exertional malaise ( #pem ) – where exertion worsens symptoms. Emerging research links this to mitochondrial dysfunction, endothelial issues & muscle fiber shifts. Still no treatments, but trials are underway. Science must catch up.

It’s clear Cochrane has flash-incinerated all remaining illusions of competence and goodwill for reasons that purposely will remain unknown. Time for us writers to take this effort outside of the Cochrane brand. It’s too important to do nothing. @davetuller1.bsky.social virology.ws/2024/12/17/t...

Fun polio fact: it is asymptomatic in 70% of cases. In 29.5% of the cases symptoms do appear, they are gastrointestinal distress, normal enterovirus stuff. Polio only displays neurological symptoms in 0.5% of cases. You don't remember polio, you only remember longpolio

In the past 30 days, over 75% of South Australia’s energy came from renewables, an incredible leap from 0% not long ago. The graph below showing this transition is fascinating. Amazingly, some reading this, particularly over on Twitter, will be furious about it.

These are superb consensus recommendations on the diagnosis and management of ME from The States. The authors are true experts in the field who actively treat patients. I’m determined to produce something similar in the UK (also huge fan of not reinventing the wheel).
