Thrilled to announce that SUPER AGERS was selected as a @nextbigidea.bsky.social winner by Adam Grant, Malcolm Gladwell, Susan Cain, and Daniel Pink for Season 26. This group of authors cofounded the club to spotlight the most groundbreaking nonfiction books.
Hopefully as more researchers are recognized for their excellent work on aerosol transmission, the findings will be used to inform how we protect each other from pathogens.
Also, my first reaction to this was "A BASSOON!!!"
PAGING RFK Jr— “The assumption that children and teens recover completely from COVID has been shattered by mounting evidence that their developing respiratory systems are uniquely vulnerable to long-term damage.”

Here's the rundown on it. Free, open-access.
💨 The NHS still urgently needs to improve infection prevention and control, and acknowledge the risks of airborne pathogens like #SARSCoV2 by putting in place effective controls and actions to minimise transmission.
Lack of scientific awareness regarding airborne pathogens is a troubling weakness.
This study explores 'the spread and distribution of droplet aerosols generated by a teacher in ventilated classrooms,
👉important for understanding how infectious bacteria and viruses spread among people thru respiratory activities.' Aerosol Science and Engineering

On the SARS-CoV-2 variant watch CDC update today:
—LP.8.1 is the one, no other new ones emerging at this time
—That we still have Covid genomic surveillance in the US, in light of everything else going on, is another positive note
Masks work. Airborne transmission is real. Even if others have moved on, we haven't forgotten the science. Here’s why: whn.global/yes-we-conti...

A graphic with a white background. At the top are six colored dots (pink, red, green, light green, blue, and navy), a blue button labeled “WHY MASK?”, and the website logo “whn.global” in the top right. Centered on the page is bold black and red text that reads: “MY DOCTOR DOESN’T WEAR A MASK. WHY SHOULD I?”
Short answer: Healthcare professionals are human too, and institutions vary in their policies. That doesn’t change the science behind airborne transmission or the benefit of masking.
Detailed Explanation: Ideally, doctors and healthcare workers should be at the forefront of applying new knowledge about how respiratory diseases spread—just like when handwashing became standard practice in medicine, despite resistance at first.

👀COVID's ocular effects are clearer than ever
👉11% of patients show eye symptoms
👉conjunctivitis makes up 88.8% of these cases
Some even experience eye symptoms before respiratory ones. Long-term risks include retinal damage & visual complications
