Excited to hear that our contribution to the understanding of the fluid mechanics of airborne transmission made it as the top cited paper at @RSocPublishing #ProcA! @Cambridge_Eng @ImperialMechEng
2021's top-cited paper from #ProcA demonstrates that social distancing measures alone do not provide adequate protection from #COVID19, and emphasises the importance of ventilation and face masks in order to control the spread of the virus. ow.ly/QaXB50MPgbj | @pdrmo

"I was the worst out of 250."
Not even Nobel Prize laureates get straight A's.
Hear 2012 medicine laureate John Gurdon speak about being a non-intellectual and having a teacher that thought it was "ridiculous" that Gurdon thought about becoming a scientist.
Developmental biologist Gurdon received the medicine prize “for the discovery that mature cells can be reprogrammed to become pluripotent.”

#homefront article of the week: What did "the Americas" mean during #WWII? @mariagatti checks in with a sharp analysis of propaganda films & their implicit construction of a cartographic version of imperialist manifest destiny, with the US at the center. doi.org/10.1080/13569325.202…

Producing sustainable aviation fuel to supply the UK’s #NetZero ambitions would require enormous quantities of agricultural land or renewable electricity to keep flying at today’s levels. Read our new briefing released today: royalsociety.org/news/2023/0…

A video of @AstroMarshburn reading out loud from Goodnight Moon aboard the @Space_Station will be featured today at 7pm ET (23:00 UTC) during the Crayola and HarperKids “Read Along, Draw Along” event: fb.me/e/1DAL1SzFr

Very happy that this is out! Great initiative and super rigorous work led by @MarcEJStettler and co-authored by myself and a number of experts in fluids and aerosol science related disciplines to compile the necessary parameters for benchmarking airborne transmission models.
There is ongoing and rapid advancement in approaches to modelling the fate of exhaled particles in different environments relevant to disease transmission. Read more on models of airborne particles in this research from #RSOS: ow.ly/nWBJ50IZWoH #COVID
