Drying Out Microbe-Filled Droplets

Ocean sprays, coughs, and sneezes are just a few of the ways that droplets full of bacteria and salt can get aloft on a breeze. How do these bacteria stay viable even as their droplet evaporates? That's the question behind this video's research. (Video and image credit: R. Ran et al.)

Three U.S. States: Florida, Louisiana and Tennessee, have already passed legislation to outlaw geoengineering within their borders.

SARS-CoV-2, CO2, and You

A good video about how CO2 monitors work and how you can analyze the information they give you to protect against airborne diseases.

And the companion video about masking:

This is a nearly 2 hour long video with nearly 100 citations about the science and history of airborne spread of disease. Despite it's length, it is visually interesting and presented and explained very well.

Did a celebratory snot drawing to thank everyone for sharing my COVID science zine, Why We Mask! Thank you all so much for the support and for sharing your own experiences...it means the world. Keep masking and looking out for eachother - We're in this together and we keep us safe!

Have a heart-shaped viral aerosol from me to you👃🤍💦 (only not actually lmao)

Decrease in cloud cover linked to rising global temperatures (Heatmap AM)

For the last two years or so, climate scientists have been puzzled by the exceptional warmth seen across the planet,  because it exceeds their models. But new research points to a possible explanation: fewer clouds. The study, published in the journal Science, found that 2023 saw “a reduced low-cloud cover in the northern mid-latitudes and tropics,” and especially over the Atlantic. Since clouds help the Earth reflect solar radiation back into space, fewer clouds means more radiation and – you guessed it – more heat. Why might the clouds be disappearing? The scientists say several factors could be at play, including the El Niño weather pattern, and a rapid decline in sulfate aerosol emissions from the shipping industry. But another explanation is that rising global temperatures are changing how clouds behave, creating an ominous feedback loop. But nobody is sure just yet, and lots of questions remain. “I consider our study just another piece of the puzzle,” said Helge Goeslling, a climate physicist at the Alfred Wegener Institute in Germany, and the study’s lead author.
