@MidwestChemSafe Oof. Partly why I didn't pursue a CIH. Not just the initial cost, but the continuing ed was unaffordable. And I had no intention of setting up a consulting practice (too much work!) so it didn't make sense.

@MidwestChemSafe Like the vintage glass bottle! The little wings on the sides make me happy

@MidwestChemSafe Had a Nicolet FTIR that used 8" floppies to collect data. Worked really well!

@MidwestChemSafe Thanks for that. Nice design - I like how they make a point of mentioning all genders 😊

1/ @CRFoundationUS has focused our energy & resources on helping reduce the inhalation of smoke in Los Angeles. @LieslMcconchie has done Herculean work to assure that DIY air cleaners are getting into schools, shelters, and more. HUGE thanks to those who support the Foundation.

[Richard Corsi, PhD, PE (Texas) @CorsIAQ]

Thank you to you and your children, Liesl. I appreciate what you are doing on behalf of the Corsi-Rosenthal Foundation, and also for teaching your children and those who might hear about their efforts the importance of humaneness, something greatly needed in our society.

@MidwestChemSafe I'll put a buck in the jar at the local coffee house and I do tip about 15% at the local eateries where we order takeaway. But I'm not tipping at McDs or the dry cleaners. That's ridiculous
