Our best of the Aurora australis from about an hour ago

@NobodyImpawtant We can just manage see it without cameras

[Dr Stephen (with a PhD) Mieruszynski @DrMieruszynski]

@NobodyImpawtant It's looking better now than 2 hour ago

@BlairWilliams26 The ABC did a piece of this late last year. The fine print in the policies allows up to a certain % of the company's revenue to come from thermal coal mining and other fossil fuel revenue. Story is here: https://t.co/TPE0m48tvX

@aboutasteph You might like Padlet or Milanote - both are free up to a point and have a schedule template. They are basically a digital post-it board. I use both for different functions but prefer the Padlet interface for scheduling, but the Milanote one allows for more creativity

@BlairWilliams26 Had this exact conversation with a colleague that teaches undergrads. This is also happening in the life sciences, not all students or unis, but the transactional view of degrees seems to be a major issue. Doesn't help either where many milestone subjects have stopped being so.

@BlairWilliams26 Should also add. It's really cheap - using 2 or 3 times a day and the bottle lasts about a month ($15) and has the longest shelf life once opened compared to others we have tried

@BlairWilliams26 We have been using Flo travel nasal spray (always available at Chemist warehouse). Shown to have a 80% risk reduction. Shame the TGA is still sitting on the Viraleze approval

@BlairWilliams26 Probably also neglected the average number of investment properties our politicians have and the clear conflict of interest

@DrShaneRRR This was yesterday with our battery - 98% solar. The 2% is due to the drip feed the battery maintains with the grid. Low energy house too with the AC on most of the day.

@BlairWilliams26 We had the same issue with a vaccination for our dog. Told to wait a year. Requires 2 doses and no guarantee of supply for the 2nd.

[Dr Stephen (with a PhD) Mieruszynski @DrMieruszynski]

@PutoczkiLab Wonderful news! Huge congratulations and such a great way to end the year.

[Dr Stephen (with a PhD) Mieruszynski @DrMieruszynski]

@DrShaneRRR @sjwill99 @PalliThordarson I had to pick up as many teaching contracts as possible and worked 22h each weekend to make ends meet. By my 3rd year I started experiencing blackouts from burnout. Kudos Shane for having these conditions for funding.

@talveon It's the end of the beginning as I've seen some epidemiologists put it

[Dr Stephen (with a PhD) Mieruszynski @DrMieruszynski]

@drng I think we're going to be seeing this more and more. Very few colleagues of mine see a future in academia in Aus. We're not only loosing a pipeline of ideas in the current environment but also people and leaders.

[Dr Stephen (with a PhD) Mieruszynski @DrMieruszynski]

@BlairWilliams26 If it's been 6 months or more since your last, pharmacists seem fine to provide it. DM me if you like, can share some details. Had a booster last week.

[Dr Stephen (with a PhD) Mieruszynski @DrMieruszynski]

@briankirsty Yep correct. It looks like no detectable virus with CPC alone. These experiments were effectively performed in test tubes, so keep this in mind. The study does go on & test 4 products in people. Some worked really well. If I have time I'll compare those to what we have in Aus

[Dr Stephen (with a PhD) Mieruszynski @DrMieruszynski]

@briankirsty Just note the y-axis is logged, so even the benzoate has a massive effect still. Working off the graph control viral titre is around 5 million and benzoate around 250.

[Dr Stephen (with a PhD) Mieruszynski @DrMieruszynski]

@briankirsty I should have linked directly to this part of the thread. I'm not sure of the reason. But the presence of sodium benzoate appears to reduce inactivation of the virus: https://t.co/YeexvZbCaY

[Lee Altenberg, Ph.D. 🇺🇸 @AltenbergLee]

@defairmans @noralove @noxygen @DMHerinya @Sandyboots2020 Check the label—the old formula didn't have benzoate.

From this main study:
"The reduction in virucidal effect of CPC caused by benzoate—in SCD Max, may therefore be due to it reducing the concentration of monomeric CPC."
