A decade ago, I was 'kicked off' a research project bc the PI didn't understand how I - a person with low vision - could see my data. They said they would never trust my work. Today @NIH ACD passed landmark recs on disability inclusion. acd.od.nih.gov/documents/pre…

Fit tested N95s + HEPA filters work
"We found that the combination of a N95 mask that passed a quantitative fit-test and portable HEPA filter provided near complete protection against high viral aerosol loads at close range for prolonged periods of time"

We're connected by the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, the planes we travel on, and more. Unless we recognize and act on these inevitable though often invisible interconnections, we'll continue to fail to protect ourselves and the world from disease threats.
