As of Today the indoorco2map.com App is out of beta and available as regular Version in the Android and Apple app store. This is a big milestone, yet only still the beginning of a long road ahead to put indoor air quality both figuratively and literally on the map. Thanks a lot to all testers!

Hey y’all—David Esteban’s @patientled.bsky.social funded Long Covid study has hit a snag just before the finish line—the cost to process samples went up. They’ve collected 43 but now can only run 20. $7000 would cover the rest!

Thanks so much for giving or boosting!

3 years ago I joined a panel of patients to determine how to allocate $4.8 million to Long COVID, ME/CFS, & dysautonomia research (the @patientled.bsky.social research fund).

It was an amazing experience working with patients like @ahandvanish.bsky.social @themegascope.bsky.social & many more.

This is neat! My video on how to use a CO2 monitor to measure ventilation has been reviewed by a YouTube channel dedicated to home performance. It's really good, and they bring up a few points I missed. Check it out:

Had an enjoyable conversation with Daniella (www.publichealthisdead.com) this afternoon. We chatted about the challenges around discussing public health in 2025 (specifically airborne disease transmission).

Check out her podcast, it’s both timely and brilliant.

Labcorp can now test for the H5N1 bird flu. It seems Quest can, too, based on details of a CA case. It shouldn't take 8 months to involve our diagnostics sector. But better late than never.

*Looking for volunteers!* I along with the help of a few others are building a Mask Recommender Based on Facial Features. TLDR: Goal: scan a face with a phone to get accurate facial measurements, and get a list of masks that have high probability of fitting that individual's face.

Announcing covid-studies.org - there are 3 modes - normal, timeline and a mindmap mode.

Collaboration with @mildtin.bsky.social / @jasongale.bsky.social and others. Would appreciate any input / studies and topics that we may be missing.

Plan to make spinoffs for other related topics too.
