EPIWATCH O @EPIWA...•5h X Three active cases of tuberculosis have been diagnosed at a high school in San Francisco, United States, and over 200 staff and students have tested positive for latent tuberculosis.
How it’s going.

Staying neutral can hurt reputation, study finds
Timely research from today's UVAToday daily email

We saw it early in the pandemic, in every climate shock & now in Minneapolis. The impulse of most people in a crisis is to share, connect & protect, often at risk to the self. Capitalism and existing power structures have trouble comprehending it and then often try to undermine it
My most recent short story/soundtrack is about this. A community in the Blue Ridge is not aware a CAT5 hurricane is coming for them because the regime has dismantled all the agencies & infrastructure. Follow up story/soundtrack coming in April.

[NEW VIDEO] This most popular fake archaeology claim of 2025 is that there's a city & power plant buried TWO KILOMETERS under the pyramids of Giza
I present the ultimate debunk of this idea here, delving into underground temperatures, expired patents, and the fake science 🏺🧪

Well-deserved (and hilarious) takedown of one of the most abusive pseudoscience trolls out there
To anyone who cares about scientific integrity, SciComm, and progress towards a better future: please brush up on pseudoarcheology

I just reported one of the crypto hacker posts over on the other site in case it helps 🙏
Wow
Graham Hancock can’t keep my name out of his mouth, publishing a video a few days ago where he slandered me 42 times
In this video I show how he and his fans are obsessed with me: AI deep fakes, cosplaying, schoolyard insults, and lies upon lies

Going all in for Covid Awareness.
If you want to help get the word out please pitch in. $5 goes a long way. gofund.me/7817f5f5
If you’d like to help support my work, and more billboards please do so, we need to educate the public now.

A collage of four pictures of Covid awareness billboards. The first one in the upper left corner is at night time in the winter. The long Covid billboard reads long Covid ruins lives mask up. And there is a graphic of a white N 95 mask. The billboard is on a brick pizza shop and it is brightly lit up in the nighttime. The second billboard in the bottom left corner is on a large brown platform and is also in winter, but in the daytime and it is a clear blue sky day. The billboard also reads long Covid ruins lives mask up and there is a graphic of a white N 95 mask. The third billboard is in the top right corner There’s a rainbow coloured crosswalk at the intersection of two streets. There is a brown brick building with large glass window panes. On the side of the building, there is a very large billboard a digital one that reads. Bright green background. With words that read COVID-19 CAUSES... BRAIN DAMAGE DEMENTIA IMMUNE DAMAGE HEART PROBLEMS DIABETES CHRONIC ILLNESS N95 ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION ANYONE CAN GET LONG COVID, EVEN KIDS. MASK UP AND STAY SAFE. On the left side of each symptom is a small graphic of a red virus particle. There is a large red virus particle in the upper right corner. There are two men and walking separately in different directions as well as two women walking the same direction as one of the men. The sky is clear. The women are wearing black and one of the r men is wearing jeans, and a blue shirt. The fourth billboard is in the Bottom right There is a large green digital billboard display with the words COVID-19 CAUSES... BRAIN DAMAGE DEMENTIA IMMUNE DAMAGE HEART PROBLEMS DIABETES CHRONIC ILLNESS N95 ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION ANYONE CAN GET LONG COVID, EVEN KIDS. MASK UP AND STAY SAFE. On it. There is also a graphic of a purplish virus particle, and a white n95 mask. There are also 3 vehicles in the picture, two are dark blue suvs and the other is a white car. There are buildings in the background.
The next Covid Awareness billboard will be something to the effect of…
“Mask Up, Clean The Air, Protect the Kids, and Show We Care.”
#SafeSchoolsNow
If you like to help me continue my work and place some more billboards please share/donate. Every bit helps. YerAweSum!

300,000 air change measurements?!
Classroom air change averaged 3.0/h (about required), but varied significantly: between schools, within each school and within each classroom throughout the year.
Great work from @patriciafabian.bsky.social's group.

This has been a fun topic for me to cover because anti-vaxxers responsible for it hide behind jargon and the illusion of real data, but when you go in with expert eyes it becomes clear that it’s all just slop. COVID vaccines are not contaminated with DNA.

SPECIAL LIVESTREAM in 4 hours at 5pm UK/noon EDT
We'll take a glimpse at my Dad's old lab at the Old Stone Age institute, used to process finds from several excavations of Neandertal sites
I'll share stones, bones, and stories from his career

As I said, I think it’s unfair to assume that there was zero risk assessment/mitigation
I appreciate the comms aspect
Tho criticizing ppl getting a brief photo op for a life milestone in a space that by CO₂ levels may be comparable to outdoors seems inappropriate
We all agree air quality matters!
I appreciate that sentiment as I am often the lone masker in medical settings myself as a patient, yet you could’ve posed your question w/ less disdain & prejudice
It was not a simple question; it was an accusation
Completing a PhD program is a huge achievement, years in the making. Photos wanted.
It accumulates. A reduction is sadly not enough anymore. There is a compound interest rate to pay now. We invented waste and have to reinvent it again by banning and ending it.
Congrats, first and foremost, to the graduates & Prof Prather on their achievements!
It’s a brief photo op in an uncrowded high ceiling atrium
They could’ve easily doffed respirators for a quick photo & put them back on after
People of the world know more how to stay safe thanks to her & them

Joe Rogan punches down, slandering a scholar who showed up in his studio for a hostile debate after chemo
I punch up, taking on celebrities who promote ignorance & anti-intellectualism

100,000 people have witnessed Joe Rogan's hypocrisy towards me. My wife, who Joe met when we were in Austin, even nicknamed our working folder "Fuck off Joe Rogan" because of how he's shat on me
How many more will see Joe for who he truly is?

Last summer I attended this Indigenous led conference focusing on climate/extractive industries & thats when I heard about methane power plants being used to power data centers. Unreal how fast this infrastructure is being installed, feels like the death scream of the fossil fuel industry in the US.
Image shows a SketchUp view of the concept model. It uses four 24x24x1” 3M Filtrete 1900 MERV13 filters in an M configuration, above eight down-blowing 140mm Arctic P14PWM fans. (Shows simplified fan bodies, but not blades ‘cause that was easier to model.)
Finally! I built & tested an open-source concept model air purifier that should be good for schools. Lots of air (CADR > 420 CFM), quiet (<45 dBA), uses <9 W, and ‘cause it’s wall-mounted & down-blowing, it moves air in the right direction & takes up no floor space. Always check my ALTs🧵⬇️

Almost forgot that this is the whole point.
(It’s a tiktok thing)
The US National Science Foundation funds nearly ALL ice core research done by US university researchers. These cores preserve layers of time & bubbles of old air dating back 10s, 100s now even 1,000,000s of years.
