Key takeaways: air return configurations are important to limit viral infectious transport between rooms and corridors and point-of-care respirator use is beneficial: increasing the time it takes to infect 50% of the workforce from 14.5 days to 40 days...
Excited this paper led by @camzachreson.bsky.social is out now! Room-return ventilation and N95 respirator policies for reducing airborne pathogen exposure on hospital wards

AI has an environmental footprint.
A new UN University study highlights the energy use, carbon emissions, water consumption, and land impacts associated with large AI systems.
As AI adoption grows, sustainability must be part of the conversation.

The Dutch branch of German discount supermarket Lidl is bringing forward its goal of achieving 100% electric transport by 2030 to 2027. From next year, all stores will receive deliveries exclusively by battery-electric trucks.
"Engineers have continued to develop sophisticated systems to keep air healthy. High-end apartment buildings occasionally boast about the technology used to keep their tenants safe. But these systems are far from ubiquitous."

Too many Australians affected by cancer are being financially ruined or receiving sub-optimal (or no) care, due to cost or distance â and itâs everyoneâs problem.
If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via study that still underestimates climate cost.
This isnât about choice. Itâs about who pays for your choice.
