TLDR: Believe women. Believe us when we talk about horrific things that you see circulating in the news, but also believe us when we talk about our discoveries, our science, our interests, our understanding, our experience, our work. The world is quite literally better for everyone when you do.

For those who haven't heard of this yet, the fastest/easiest way to reduce indoor air pollution from wildfire smoke is to get a basic 20x20 box fan, and slap a single 20x20 air filter (make sure it's very high MERV) on the back. No tape or anything, it just sticks to the back of the fan.
