20 years ago today @NEJM published massive SARS1 outbreak and a perspective on airborne transmission. Have we learned our lesson? Will Precautionary Principle & transparent comms guide us next time? H5N1? @linseymarr

Today we started the first Germicidal UV-C training and NALMCO certification program at UMD SPH. Attendees will be for able to sit for the management consultant and/or senior technician UV-C certification examination on the third optional day of the course.

This is the first step in creating the workforce to make all high risk public spaces safer even during a pandemic.

We are addressing these limitations in a new NIH-funded cluster randomized clinical trial "Evaluating Modes of Influenza Transmission-2." We are currently seeking persons with recent onset of influenza virus infection to act as Donors. 2/3

A fundamental question for control of influenza pandemics is whether inhalation exposure (i.e., airborne transmission) is a major mode of transmission. Once we understand that, we can design better interventions and test them appropriately. Only one RCT to date has addressed this question - and it was underpowered due to use of Donor cases that were not contagious. 1/3

COVID-19 and Airborne Transmission: Science Rejected, Lives Lost. Can Society Do Better?

Lidia Morawska, et al.,
Clinical Infectious Diseases, https://doi.org/10.1093/cid/ciad068

This is the sad story of lost opportunities to save many lives. Unfortunately, the errors are still being repeated in poorly designed "pragmatic" RCTs and biased Cochrane reviews.

Great to see that the Global Plasma Solutions suit to shut up Bud Offermann was dismissed with prejudice! Join me in supporting Marwa Zaatari as GPS’s attempt to stop Marwa’s valuable truth telling goes to trial in April.

@linseymarr I looked at Twitter today to see if you posted about the problem with RCTs. It looks like you have been pretty quiet over there. But, it was good to see the news... CONGRATULATIONS on your election to the NAE!

There's a great opportunity here at UMD School of Public Health - an open rank tenure track Asst-Asso Prof search. I'm looking forward to a new colleague and collaborator to join our faculty and continue and expand our work on airborne infection transmission, air sanitation, environmental determinants of infectious diseases, indoor environmental health, and environmental justice.

A total newbie in need of Masto-Mentoring. I created two accounts on different servers. This one, on med-mastodon and one with the same name on sciencemastodon.

I can search and find my sciencemastodon account from med-mastodon. But I cannot find my med-mastodon account when searching from sciencemastodon. Is this just an overloaded server issue due to the wave of immigrants or something I should be concerned about? @Don_Milton@sciencemastodon.com
