@cmclase Well, that got you a follower!

I've been putting #reusable #P100 #elastomeric #respirator tags whenever I talk about #masks because *practically nobody has heard of them* and they are cheap and really good #PPE

@neroden Good point, I agree. They aren't front-and-centre in our writing because the up-front costs and the appearance are barriers. Hoping to normalize mask-wearing for as many as possible

@cmclase Not in medicine, but an academic at university of Manitoba, so welcome!

@cmclase @nancylwayne crikey. My introduction seems terribly meagre and mundane by comparison Thank you for joining us on here and sharing your wisdom.

@auscandoc @nancylwayne I did a lot of lurking and learning before I posted. Maybe a bit over-the-top :) but very much appreciate all the people I've just met.

@cmclase Thanks for the link! BTW, Perhaps this is a matter of discipline, but every journal I've reviewed for has been double-masked. I've always assumed this is the norm.

@noam interestingly in medicine single-masking (anonymized reviewer) is the norm, with the odd high-impact journal using signed reviews.

@mur2501 I have to say it is very civil here! Thanks to all who've boosted and said hello!

@cmclase
Yeah in general mastodon has approachable people compared to birdsite

@cmclase
You sound like some I’d be stupid not to follow!
BTW, I’m still a masker. I know covid isn’t over, not by a long shot!
