Maybe one of the most important graphs of the pandemic. Human behavior in Spring of 2020 crushed the spread of common pathogens. The idea that nothing can be done about endemic viruses doesn’t hold water. We should remember that with human to human transmission of H5N1 looming.

It's interesting that interest-free (Halal) mortgages were mentioned in the federal budget as something that respects a religious belief, though 99% of Canadians would benefit from interest-free mortgages and they should be prevailing state policy.
Today, @mcgillu announced that it would not allow research assistants to work or get paid during a faculty strike. The Tri-Agencies informed @CAUT_ACPPU that this would breach the university's funding obligations with the federal government. McGill must allow profs to delegate.

The meter was very nearly defined as the length of a pendulum such that the period is exactly two seconds. This would mean the strength of gravity, measured in meters and seconds, is exactly pi squared. But it's not - a short thread on the importance of units🧵

Last time I went, I didn't realize I was carrying Bourne's "Catechism of the Steam Engine." Everyone seemed to be taking me really seriously & talking at a really high level. I was super impressed. It was the gift-shop guy who finally pointed out my book. Anyway, good museum :D

Respiratory diseases are AIRBORNE. That's why they get into your lungs and cause respiratory symptoms. The word AIRBORNE is a good one because it's simple and easily understood. It's like WATERBORNE and FOOD-BORNE. We should keep using it. We don't need any new terminology.

@rinewithoutacat @cupe3903comms @YUFAyorku Weird is right. This feels like a bad joke.
Seriously. What kind of precedent does this set? That the Dean or Provost can send me an email on a Friday night and fully expect a reply by Sunday and that there be job security consequences if I don't?
Its more than a "tradition": academic decision making is clearly delegated to Faculty (professors) in the statutory constitution and duties of higher education institutions. In a bi-cameral system, if there is over-reach Senate is expected to act. @caut #YorkAct #NoConfidence

Our willingness to settle for dirty air & chronic health problems because we wouldn't invest in clean air technology or even fund new filters for HEPA machines in schools will be the jawdropping stuff in our history books and museums. This is your legacy, @Sflecce & @fordnation.
When did we become so complacent? When did we stop having aspirations & stop working together for public good? When did leaders decide to avoid all responsibility for improving our public spaces & services? Our willingness to settle for weak leadership will haunt us.
"Civic reformers discovered that dirty water caused disease. Clean water meant good health, and citizens began to campaign for public water projects." This is honestly what I thought would happen when Covid hit. I thought we would #CleanTheAir.
Within 5 years of a cholera epidemic due to contaminated water, Hamilton built an entire water filtration & pumping system with water delivered to and taken from buildings in the city. They did what needed to be done to clean the H20 and ensure no one else died from cholera.
