Not that surprised N95 respirators significantly outperformed masks, but I am surprised that cloth masks were better at reducing exhaled SARS-CoV-2 virus compared to surgical masks! 😷
A duckbill N95 reduced exhaled viral load by 98% (95% CI: 97%–99%), and significantly outperformed a KN95 (p < 0.001) as well as cloth and surgical masks. Cloth masks outperformed a surgical mask (p = 0.027) and the tested KN95 (p = 0.014).

Publishing companies make record profits-without paying those doing the work; these APCs block publishing, especially from developing economies and early career scientists
High APCs hurt science
Granting bodies should bar grant use on High APC publishers

Taxonomic name alignment: on the surface this might look an easy task ... but realistically took months and different skills. @ChauvreSouris22 talking about BTA (Bat taxonomic alignment tool) at 7th digital data conference @iDigBio drive.google.com/file/d/1wOF… 8:00 #biodiversity

Well done Paula Prist from @EcoHealthNYC on winning the Southwood Prize in @JAppliedEcology!
Paula's research on how roads & forest edges affect yellow fever virus dispersal provides valuable insights for better planning and organisation of vaccination campaigns🌳🦟

We need to embrace multilingualism in the sciences
I love using English to communicate, but are leavening many people and ideas out …

*howl* Happy Full Moon 🌕
Did you know some bat scientists theorize moon phases impact bat behavior? While some think full moons may support bat hunting efforts, others think full moons make bats more susceptible to predators, causing them to choose to reduce activity that night.
