Last week, I toured @unccharlotte's lab in Cameron Hall that processes COVID-19 tests administered through the Student Health Center. The team is prepared to process 200 tests per day, with the ability to scale up. I thank them for this commitment to our campus and community.

I ask this at every workshop - it usually ranges from 50-90% of info missed at sci talks. We need to communicate better to other scientists! x.com/fromthelabbench/status…

In a survey by @AldaCenter, folks attending scientific conferences (even scientists) don't understand 90% of the info presented! #scitalkNW
