  1. #medsky #scisky #polisky I need help falsifying a hypothesis: "A significant portion (>10%) of routine Ebola cases are a result of low-efficiency aerosol transmission." Yes, many official sources promise it's zero (as they did for COVID) - but what is the actual scientific evidence? Scientific...

  3. This is why the public *correctly* does not trust public health and IPC. It's not an isolated incident, there's a pattern of concealing risk for COVID but also e.g. hospital TB outbreaks etc. Define "contact" to limit numbers, then don't test = don't find = "not our fault".

  4. How do we move from snapshots to a holistic understanding of cellular homeostasis?

    🧬Our new review shows how mass spectrometry maps the "mitostasis" network—the massive effort to keep mitochondria in balance. We look at how integrating temporal, spatial, and dynamic proteomics is changing the game.

    Read the full review by Lakshita Sharma, Sristi Chakroborty, @hirak_das13, and the Bettina Warscheid Lab:

  5. @thermofishersci.bsky.social you need to get on top of this ASAP, and I absolutely do not mean that in a "better comms" sort of way. When someone points out you have a problem, you need to fix it. Denying it exists just means you now have two problems - and the new one is worse. #scisky

  7. Hey #scisky and #cdnpoli (and anyone else wondering why funding for rigorous research is so hard to get in Canada) what do you think of a grant competition for $5M to be spent over 30 months where the *applicant* is pre-specified? www.researchnet-recherchenet.ca/rnr16/vwOppr...

  8. This is exactly what I mean by #misinformation "inside the house" being corrosive to public trust. It's clear #malpractice, and a serious breach of medical ethics - some combination of unacceptable ignorance and/or intentional misrepresentation, endangering patient health. #medsky #scisky

  10. This 2014 talk highlights the ingrained corruption in medical guidance circles promoting these widespread failures. In particular the character assassination and manipulation campaign Dr. MacIntyre was subjected to when her work showed N95s are more effective than medical masks. #medsky #scisky

  11. Module 3 of the UK COVID Inquiry is out. Encouraging to see explicit recognition of the "widespread failure" of clinical leaders to understand aerosol science, and the "clear failure" of IPC leaders to understand that they might be wrong. #medsky #scisky covid19.public-inquiry.uk/reports/modu....

  13. It's #LongCovidAwarenessDay. #longCOVID is about justice - workers' rights, equity, disability, the environment (add up the carbon footprint of the hospital days!), fighting misinfo and pseudoscience. If you care about any of those, you care about stopping COVID. #polisky #cdnpoli #scisky #medsky

  14. COVID is an infection acquired via the respiratory route, primarily transmitted via inhalation of infectious aerosols. That doesn't mean it's just a respiratory infection. Similarly, no longer having respiratory symptoms doesn't mean you've cleared the infection. #medsky #scisky #longCOVID

  16. Welcome to 2026, where readers of 👉the New York Post👈 get a better education on the science of airborne disease transmission than an MD who just graduated from medical school at the University of British Columbia. This is not hyperbole. People need to go to jail for this. #medsky #scisky #cdnpoli

  21. Oct 1st Thinktober Post:

    Mars’ outer core is liquid and its inner core is solid, just like Earth! How do we know this? Using Marsquakes! Seismology allows us to create 3D images of the insides of planets and moons.

    “The latest findings indicate the inner core, while small, is indeed solid and surrounded by molten metal — a liquid outer core”.

    More data is needed to understand what role this plays in Mars’ current lack of a magnetosphere. InSight, the seismometer we took to Mars, isn’t operating any more so we’re unable to collect more seismic data at this time.

  22. For October I’m going to do “Thinktober”. Is that a corny name? Yes, definitely!

    In Thinktober I’m going to share one cool article a day that is somehow related to Earth Science, Astronomy, or Planetary Science. I have a Flipboard magazine that all articles will be saved to, so if you want to subscribe to it and get updates after October you can!

  26. A MUST READ: time.com/7285045/resi... This is the public transparency required for future accountability- @alondra.bsky.social's account of the undermining of our democratic checks and balances is incredible. 🧪 @aaas.org @science.org @standupforscience.bsky.social #SciSky #PublicAccountability #STEM

    Why I’m Resigning from the NSF...

  27. 🧪Heavy heart for my colleagues at NSF who were RIFed today - especially the entire cadre of EES. Your efforts to increase pathways into #STEM Education for all people have made an impact that cannot be ignored or erased. @science.org @scinews.bsky.social @standupforscience.bsky.social #SciSky #EDU

  28. We’re excited to join forces with SIU Carbondale to make Dryad data storage, curation and support available to SIU Carbondale researchers through the Morris Library.

  30. #SciTwitter is dead, all hail #Bluesky #SciSky! Here are the stats for my Twitter (red) and Bluesky (blue) followers in the last 3.5 months.

  31. The Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) has confirmed a measles case in an unvaccinated resident. DPH is working to identify any persons that may have been exposed between Jan.19-24, 2025 when they were infectious.

    The individual acquired the virus while traveling within the United States.
