Two simple demos:

First, I sneezed, sang, talked & coughed toward an agar culture plate with or without a mask. Bacteria colonies show where droplets landed. A mask blocks virtually all of them.

President of Edgecombe Community College, Dr. Gregory McLeod, paid a surprise visit to one of our weekly meetings. We were so glad to talk to him about who we are and what we hope to achieve with our high altitude balloon launches😁
