1/3 of children around the globe are poisoned by lead, meaning a permanent future of lowered intelligence and worse education/career outcomes We are trying to prevent lead poisoning at mapmyenvironment.com/ @UNICEF @MapMyEnv @PureEarthNow unicef.org/press-releases/th…

Our UK lab may be closed due to COVID-19, but that has not stopped them from expanding the #MapMyEnv database. #Greece is now live! 20 dust samples from #Athens and #Thessaloniki can be viewed at mapmyenvironment.com with more to come... #citizenscience @DustSafeStudy

Our global map is growing (mapmyenvironment.com). Our Aussie team @ @Macquarie_Uni are still testing #VegeSafe soil and @DustSafeStudy dust. Our other hubs are currently closed, however you can send your sample to be analysed when they're back in action!

Calling all #scientists! Do you have research lab #PPE (eg #faceshield/#N95/#surgicalmask/#gloves) going UNUSED? Have you checked with your institution or contacted a local emergency management authority about donating #PPE to help clinical colleagues? #HeroesNeedMasks #COVID19

SOAP SOAP SOAP: Great details on soap 🧼 + virus: β€œsoap dissolves the fat membrane and the virus falls apart like a house of cards and "dies", or rather, we should say it becomes inactive as viruses aren’t really alive.” #washyourhands #COVID19
1/25 Part 1 - Why does soap work so well on the SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus and indeed most viruses? Because it is a self-assembled nanoparticle in which the weakest link is the lipid (fatty) bilayer. A two part thread about soap, viruses and supramolecular chemistry #COVID19
