In January, @Yingfu8888 raised money to send PPEs to front-line doctors in China during their #COVID19 crisis. Now, his friends and colleagues in China are pitching in to buy PPE for front-line medical workers in #HamOnt | @McMasterIIDR bit.ly/2URGKbu

We are working on a new mask design @McMasterEng, should be prototyping & testing by end of coming week.
Replying to @ericweinstein
Mr Weinstein, I"m an anesthesia tech. We need something between a disposable N95 and the Papr system. Something we can wipe down but doesn't require an expensive, rare filtration system. Who do we need to contact to make that happen?

Anyone using Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) or Microbial Electrolysis Cells (MECs): do you have an SOP for preserving them or feeding them in the event of lab closures?

800 years ago, #university #education was very different and produced generalists while now we hyper-specialize in one or two areas, yet many do not recover from the inevitabilities of #disruption. I’m a guest on @dorasmith podcast discussing this. shows.pippa.io/innovation-in…

Check out our Nature Geosci comment (led by @baird_andy) to the controversial Marrs et al. (2018) paper on managed "boreal moorlands". We argue restoring/rewetting degraded peatlands is a better prescription than prescribed burning to reduce wildfire risk nature.com/articles/s41561-0…
1/2 In this Nature Geoscience comment piece nature.com/articles/s41561-0…, we discuss the managed burning of peatlands to control wildfire. We explain why natural peatlands don't need managed burning and argue that re-wetting of damaged peatlands is a better prescription.

Fascinating to see how energy use of nations have risen and fallen over time. Increased economic activity↔️global influence, which is ultimately tied to CO2 emissions.
