Remember to change out your air filters when they get gross! Air filters can remove viruses like COVID from the air, which is an important one to avoid because it damages your brain.

This is a great up-and-coming project to crowdsource data on how well different N95s/KN95s etc. fit a wide variety of people. Good mask fit is really important to get the best protection. The data feeds an app to help people find masks that will fit their face well.

*Looking for volunteers!* I along with the help of a few others are building a Mask Recommender Based on Facial Features. TLDR: Goal: scan a face with a phone to get accurate facial measurements, and get a list of masks that have high probability of fitting that individual's face.

Viruses don't stand much of a chance in our house. Thanks @nukit.bsky.social! Far-UVC to complement our homemade computer fan CR boxes. About size of an alarm motion sensor. Looking forward to an eventual future when this tech is commonplace given how easily deployable and effective.

Will soon post summary of our publication showing the impact of millions of gallons of raw sewage flowing in the Tijuana "river" on air quality and the local communities. Beaches were closed for over 1000 days! Major environmental injustice. How is this being allowed to happen in California?

Steps to get a Masked Monday event to happen at a local museum for your covid cautious community: 1. Reach out and ask! As a bonus, if you can, add a little social pressure by mentioning other museums that you've heard of doing this recently.

A woman wearing a black cap, a black Breatheteq mask with a headstrap modification, and a black tank top saying "If you see a mask, wear a mask" in a science museum.

A sign outside a museum saying "Welcome to Masked Monday! 2 PM - 5 PM, masks required ages 3+, $10.00 admission ages 2+."
