On #LongCovidAwarenessDay, a message from me and the long term smell loss community. Smell loss remains below the radar, and devastating fluctuations in smell that happen for some of our long termers blight well-being and cause anhedonia. @LongCOVIDPhysio@LongCovidSOS

Cait Hewitt on the BBC: So-called Sustainable Aviation Fuel when burnt “gives off just as much CO2 as kerosene. Now, the industry argues that this doesn’t matter because they’ve been able to offset … but [AEF] have real doubts as to whether that adds up on a economy-wide level.”
Cait Hewitt, AEF, says it’s “misleading” to suggest that today’s Virgin flight using 100% ‘SAF’ marks an era of ‘green’ flying. “SAF represent around 0.1% of aviation fuel globally and will be very hard to scale up sustainably.”

"it is ultimately up to the individual come to their own conclusions about stove ownership and usage"
