A CGS-M is the *same* now as I got in 2005 ($17,500/year). My rent for a 1-bed. apartment was $750/month. Just looked up a similar unit, now $1800/month. I care about the future of science. We need to support graduate students if we want to recruit trainees.

It bothers me when a vocal minority spewing hate gets so much airtime. The majority of ppl I interact with are caring, supportive, & want what’s best for themselves & each other. Life is hard-we do it together. Give a care-filled person a shout out here. It’s okay, make it weird.

This is why I cringe-was an hour wait at the busy COVID testing centre yesterday, and my kid and I had to take off our KN95s in a crowded hallway to put on surgical masks that were way too big. I tightened, but didn’t see anyone else. Is the science wrong, or the policy?
I updated my mask classification system to make it even easier to read & understand including if using imported PPE. This system will simplify the understanding of what each type of mask offers to protect the wearer & those around them.
