😷🧵
Going into winter I'd like to take a moment to share my masking precautions for covid/illness prevention.😄

1. Time, Distance, Shielding

Minimize exposure wherever practical. Follow the ALARA principle: As Low As Reasonably Achievable. This is the key principle of radiation safety as well.

Radiation safety graphic illustrating time, distance, and shielding safety concept. Minimize time and maximize distance and shielding.

Text: Limit time spent near a radiation source, increase distance away fromba radiation source or use shielding.

Another round of mass layoffs has struck CDC. The agency had already been cut during a reorganization this year, and more employees are now being shed amid the government shutdown.
