Still about the paper (https://t.co/XIH3EdGw0d).
Some didn't manage to listen to the audio summary.
Here it is, embedded in the post.

I am still amazed what AI can do with a simple PDF an a prompt "Give me and audio summary, podcast style." 🤯😀

It’s with great pleasure that I’m invited to talk at this official event of the French #G7 Presidency and side event of the World Health Assembly on the importance of clean indoor air.

We have clean water, clean food and yet clean air seems to be lagging behind... Even though the air that surrounds us is what keeps us here, in this pale blue dot, one breath at a time!

Thank you Geneva Health Forum , Air Club , Irène Kostenas for the invitation - looking forward.

The High-Level WHA Side Conference on Indoor Air Quality is now an official event of the French G7 Presidency.
This recognition means that the event is acknowledged as contributing to the priorities and international outreach of the G7 Summit.

Something I touch on repeatedly in my Airborne Infection course is that “close contact” is not a good way to describe how a virus is transmitted. It can be communicated as a risk factor for infection, but it does not say what the actual biological mechanism of transmission is.

[About Switzerland @AbtSwitzerland]

Today, Switzerland observes a National Day of Mourning in memory of the victims of the tragic fire that occurred on 1 January in #CransMontana.

Our thoughts are with all those impacted, in Switzerland and beyond.

@ukhadds Never disappoints 👍 all the best for 2026 fellow Canuck

[Andre Henriques @ScientistAndre]

@ukhadds @erbrooker No but it just shows up on the little screen each year 😅

[Irène Kostenas @IKostenas]

Previously, it was widely assumed that close contact was the most important factor in the transmission of respiratory infections (such as Covid, influenza, etc.). However, this longitudinal study in Swiss schools demonstrates that this assumption is incorrect. Instead, prolonged

@ukhadds So there's nothing we can do except reading their books saying there's nothing we can do...

[Andre Henriques @ScientistAndre]

@ukhadds More than welcome!

Since 2020, we’ve learned a tremendous amount about the airborne transmission of disease. Yet, in many ways we’ve just begun to scratch the surface.

This document came out of the WIAC conference held this summer. In it, many of the fundamental questions before us are proposed.

[Andre Henriques @ScientistAndre]

Our paper summarizing the discussions at the Gaeta conference is out.

Here we identify the key questions and research gaps to tackle indoor air quality!

🇪🇺🤝🇨🇭 Switzerland is officially in the European research game.

Today, it joins Horizon Europe and the Euratom Research and Training Programme.

Think CERN-level breakthroughs… but across health, energy, and digital tech.
