@JessixaBagley Congrats!!! Going to check all your books out at the library! Just read “Boats for Papa” to my preschooler for bedtime and bawled my eyes out on the third page as my kid casually asked me what happened to Papa. You’re an amazing writer and illustrator! Now to cry some more 😭

Flu data out today. Holy crap.

Someone has started a website to keep track of dealer markups and reward those with no markups with rankings. Fully crowdsourced. https://t.co/TBUfjkaRJN

Arts therapies are increasingly being used to treat brain conditions including PTSD, depression, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. A new initiative aims to measure how arts therapies change the brain. https://t.co/tTlwNwJVnH

@mocanyc Thanks for continuing your virtual programming—we love learning from your institution!

Scoop: CDC is going to recommend better masks, and leave a gaping hole in regulation for kids mask because we still lack a general public mask standard. So parents are going to be told that KN95's better, but that 60% are underperforming...sounds great. 🤡 Also no mention of KF94

[Aaron Collins @masknerd]

@patentbobm @larmbrust On a whole the quality of KF94's are baked into the South Korea's standard. They are basically Korean FDA approved and tested. Issue with KN95's is no regulatory agency, so fakes galore.

Recent op-ed I wrote in @guardiannews encouraging better masks. Let's use our technology, we have better masks that are better in every way. We just need governments to encourage use and help manf ramp up.

I did not write the title though 😜

We have LIFTOFF of the @NASAWebb Space Telescope!

At 7:20am ET (12:20 UTC), the beginning of a new, exciting decade of science climbed to the sky. Webb’s mission to #UnfoldTheUniverse will change our understanding of space as we know it.

Initially a funny discovery, but friends, do be cautious not to let your pets eat random food outside in case of poisoning! #bestofnextdoor

These spectacular images capture the line between sea and sky — revealing the majesty of nature.

"The greatest story on Earth is the Earth itself. It's all we have. There is no Plan B," says photographer David Doubilet.

According to the American Library Association, "Scary Stories" were the most challenged books between 1990 and 1999. https://t.co/nzc6szNrW6

@Sinomax_USA I tried this as a suggested alternative to the now decommissioned Dream Serenity 4" topper you used to sell. Sad to report: NOT the same comfort! This new one is too soft, doesn't provide adequate hip support, and creates a sinking feeling, for me at least. Bring back the former?

[Tina @BrainFrutz]

@mocanyc We love virtual MOCAKids story time series and will really miss teacher Kristen! Will you be continuing this series virtually for those of us far from the NYC area?

Nonnegative spatial factorization: a new preprint with @BeEngelhardt https://t.co/DnwFkV1qA7. NSF is probabilistic, spatially-aware, interpretable dimension reduction for count data. We illustrate with applications to spatial transcriptomics.

@fairfaxparks Awesome! This park has been such a godsend during this pandemic—thank you!

[Tina @BrainFrutz]

@Sinomax_USA Congratulations! Do you still make the “Dream Serenity” 4 or 3 inch memory foam toppers? My mom has one and I’d love to get the same but cannot find it anywhere!

Masks for kids: good, better, and best, with list of masks that meet the new ASTM standard or include a well-characterized filter that spans edge-to-edge. Thanks to @ajprussin for compiling this. See README for more info and how to submit others you find. https://t.co/8pWu5YTL1p
