So, Jasper, the very best dog in the world died suddenly but peacefully yesterday in the garden at Gormley Towers. He was simply a dote and we're going to miss him so much. @Gormflake
So, I came across this at a service station on M6. Its an air vacuum system. I worked on this 20 years ago but never seen one irl. The lid has to be tightly sealed to work. It's a propelair toilet.
This highlights the importance of advancing surveillance in wastewater

Excellent thread on the ongoing Covid pandemic. For those thinking this is just a cold-like illness please read. I can personally attest that it is not like a cold!
🧵THREAD on why covid was and remains a more serious threat than flu for society.
Based mainly (but not only) on the most recent ONS report on deaths from Covid vs those from flu and/or pneumonia 1/7

Latest hospitalisation data from Gauteng does show quite a large increase in hospital admissions due to Covid (most recent week incomplete). Now almost 5x increase over 2 weeks from 136 -> 647.
Excellent programme, highly recommended.

📣**CREW Policy Fellowships** new project-based initiative launched today! We aim to provide an opportunity for Scotland's #waterresearch community to voice critical science challenges for informing policy. Proposals welcome by 22 Oct➡️bit.ly/39Qy0cp #ScotlandHydroNation
Our work on assessing prevalence of Virus in buildings. Big thanks to everyone @CREW_waters #COVID19
Breaking new ground in Covid research, scientists @heriotwattuni detect viral RNA using bioaerosol sampling methods within a building’s sanitary plumbing system. Download the report hot off the press @ bitly.ws/greQ #COVIDPoops19
We've captured viral RNA in aerosols/droplets generated in building sanitary plumbing systems as a means of assessing disease prevalence in buildings. Check out the report from @CREW_waters tinyurl.com/n8cn4fs @thomasaspray #SARSCoV2 #COVID19

Just uploaded first G-II exhaled SARS-CoV-2 aerosol paper to @medrxivpreprint, but screening takes 4-5 days (longer during weekend). Had I known, I wouldn’t have rushed to submit. Seems like a long time to wait for ‘rapid publication’ during a pandemic! Possible to expedite?

Working ahead of the crane to drill #Rothoblaas screws in preparation to lift the panels using the WASP connection.
This is an interesting study from v. Good team. A lot depends on infectious dose in this case (and others) if infectious dose is low and env concentrations are low and sampling is difficult are PCR sensitive enough? Sampling and detection work v. Important.
In a home with infected adult and child, virus was measured in floor dust and HVAC filter, implying average airborne concentration of ~70 gene copies/m3. 46% of surfaces positive. sciencedirect.com/science/ar… Maestre et al. with @IAQinGWN Kinney
I too have not been doing anything in the garden, but I suspect that is slightly different. Bualadh Bos Nuala.
