I see alot of procedural (aka surgical) #masks on the streets in downtown Toronto. It makes me sad to see people who care enough to do something, not know what to do to stay safe: #WearARespirator

Here is a great overview from @jljcolorado

@jljcolorado News release for the paper about germicidal UV lamp trade-off with air quality: https://www.acs.org/pressroom/presspacs/2022/acs-presspac-december-2022/germicidal-uv-lamps.html

"Germicidal UV lamps: A trade-off between disinfection and air quality"
Modeling shows that with poorly ventilated spaces, #UVGI can create secondary compounds, some that may be harmful.

My take: Best to add UV to spaces with at least moderate #ventilation & #filtration, not as a substitute.

Hi #introduction from me..!
I'm a Prof of Operational Research at UCL & member of Independent SAGE.
As such, I've been tweeting about Covid for 2.5 yrs now so expect more of that here!
Plus occasional forays into politics, women in science, general science & stuff about London.
Hope I get the hang of it soon!

Hi All,

🧀Version 5.4 of my adaptation of a Swiss cheese risk reduction graphic (not really a 'model'), applied to any respiratory virus but drawn and evolved during the COVID-19 pandemic.

🧀Story of the image up to ver4.2 is on my blog:

🧀Editable files for making translations are (check if one made already though!):

In 1938, Guy Callendar was the first person to use observations of temperature from across the world to demonstrate that the land areas were warming.

He also collated CO2 measurements to show that atmospheric CO2 levels were increasing.

And he also showed that the expected warming from the increase in CO2 was at least half of the observed warming.

The theory was understood much earlier, but this was the first attribution of observed climate change.

84 years ago.
