1/2: #ICYMI - On June 12-15, our #NRCMetrology team led discussions on #BlackCarbon at the 9th International Workshop on laser-induced incandescence @UniStrathclyde on June 12-15.

Another good paper by this group. A really deep dive into the nitty gritty of the NIOSH/TSI 8130A measurement , and how it compares to a number based measurement(more common in the aerosol science world). Helps explain why they don't always match. This is mega nerdy! 🤓

#NRCMetrology has delved deeper into understanding the measurement of particle filtration efficiency (PFE) in assessing the performance of respirators and masks. Our latest paper is open source at https://t.co/FR77XPzedm
I am fortunate to work with an awesome team!

The return to Tofino Harbour from a whale watch or offshore fishing charter feels like being in a postcard.

Tofino is situated on the tip of the Esowista Peninsula, within the traditional Ha-Houthlee of the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nations and their Tribal Parks.

A new study out of UBC finds that when testing to see the best mask materials, one unexpected one produced ideal results: BABY WIPES!

Dr. Steven Rogak, professor at UBC and lead researcher, says the material is almost as breathable as a non-surgical mask. More on @NEWS1130

@samgraver This is quite the narrative!

If you're a trainee with skills relevant to computational epidemiology & want to volunteer your free time towards #COVID19 research, please email me your CV.

I met my earliest scientific collaborators on Twitter, so it's time to pay back the opportunity. Retweets & recs welcome!
