Most evaluations of low-cost #aerosol sensors have focused on their measurement bias compared to regulatory monitors. Few evaluations have applied fundamental principles of aerosol science to increase our understanding of how such sensors work and could be improved... READ MORE🔎

Buildings breathe. If it's smoky outside, you should be taking precautions to protect your health indoors as well as out. I walked through every possible home configuration I could think of with @Smogdr (window a/c? central a/c?) to find out what to do. heatmap.news/wildfire-smoke-…

Seeing "The Mask Mandates Did Nothing" trending is an illustration of how opinion editors at mainstream outlets spread disinformation about science and cause mass harm.
Dr. Lucky Tran@luckytran22 Feb 2023
Bret Stephens once called global warming "mass hysteria" and claimed climate science had been "discredited." Please don't believe a single word he writes about COVID-19.

Wall Street Journal Opinion Global Warming as Mass Neurosis By Bret Stephens Last week marked the 20th anniversary of the mass hysteria phenomenon known as global warming. Much of the science has since been discredited. Now it's time for political scientists, theologians and psychiatrists to weigh in.

Many students starting out for the first time ask "Which stats software should I use? R or Stata?" The debates have gotten stale so I hired the couple on TikTok again to come in and give their two cents.

"What did we find?" School districts which removed mask policies had an immediate increase in COVID cases in both students and staff. This increase in cases got bigger over the next 10 weeks.
Figure 3 from the linked pre-print showing COVID cases comparing districts which did and did not remove mask policies. The districts have similar rates until the policies are removed, at which point cases in students and staff increase in schools without policies.
