There are some 3,000 patients on dialysis machines in Cuba who are at risk of dying from a prolonged blackout.
Tweet from Acyn reporting CNN breaking news that Cuba’s electrical grid has completely collapsed, causing a nationwide blackout. The image shows a dim city skyline at dusk with a domed building silhouetted, alongside a CNN banner reading “Cuba’s electrical grid suffers total collapse.”

Regrettable for all the reasons Timothy lists, but truly mind-boggling to see the US hand a giant scientific advance to other countries. The expertise, funding and progress will live on somewhere other than America. This weakens them.

“Alberta’s order is precisely about banning books, as its direct effect is to force school authorities across the province to remove from their libraries a host of books deemed inappropriate by the state.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu...

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

One of the really interesting things I learned during the pandemic was just how siloed scientific disciplines are, even when the scientists involved are studying the same subject. For indoor air and infection, aerosol scientists have a canonical model (Wells-Riley) that dates from the 1930s.
