- I'll take it. Thank you Rand Paul. Can you go convince a few of your GOP friends? We gotta get this insane person and all of his crazy supporters in his cabinet out??? Jailed.
- They're the same villainous scum. Remove masks and round them up.
- Hello Catholic friends and family.
- Yep all to protect billionaires and pedophiles.
- Protest sign in Minnesota today...
- We should not agree to go for 3 more years....
- Thinking about doing a Podcast....is there interest in hearing from an atmospheric chemist who cares about the planet, environmental health, people, science, life, raising butterflies, pollinator garden, hummingbirds and other birds, the ocean, the air we breathe? If so, I might be ready.
- Please parents and everyone, READ THIS.
- What a surprise...they lied again!
- NEW: Jonathan Ross, the ICE thug who murdered Renee Good, was NOT TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL according to police reports. He was taken to the Federal Building. He was NOT INJURED. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...
- Our focus needs to be on slowing down this climate trainwreck...not attacking and killing our own people on the streets. Looks like a war with the government attacking their own people in their neighborhoods for no reason!!??
- I hope someone does a gofundme account for this guy speaking up. I will donate!!
- Yes just try and start a world war...
- Kristi is despicable...does she not know it was all recorded?? I hope she spends her entire life in jail.
- Cold chilly cozy day for all....
- Yes, please!!!
- Remove...if not now, when? How much more damage is GOP willing to let happen??
- Happy New Year everyone!! I'm ready for a fresh start...need to push hard to get our healthy lives and Earth back!! Be kind and support each other -- there is strength in numbers. We can't let them beat us down by dividing us!! Looking forward to the midterm push...keep speaking up!! Let's go!!
- Yes!!!! Read this....
- Amazing that this review paper from 2021 just became my most cited paper of my 30+ yr career. I am honored to have been the lead first co-corresponding author with @ChiaWang8. COVID is indeed airborne--as are most other respiratory viruses. @ucsandiego.bsky.social www.science.org/doi/full/10....
- This is reason I still wear a mask on all flights and probably will do so forever. I also still carry CO2 monitor to check ventilation! My lessons (after not catching it yet AFAIK): always wear a mask during travel, in tight crowded spaces, public restrooms, hotel corridors, and elevators....
- We have started sharing our preliminary H2S data from the Nestor community in San Diego, CA. Levels and odors have been high again recently. For near real time data, see airborne.ucsd.edu/H2S. Screenshot below.
- And they ALL need to go to jail!
- Imagine covering up for child rapists and being able to look your daughter, son, wife, sister, mom, yourself in the eye!!!!!! This is sickness beyond belief....
- Our Mothership is being dismantled. Stop the damage. Now.
- This disaster has to STOP!!
- Building inexpensive indoor air filters with Mar Vista High School students in Imperial Beach...filter efficiency is higher than ones that cost $800+. You spend 90% of your time indoors...we all deserve clean air!! @scrippsocean.bsky.social @ucsandiego.bsky.social Airborne Institute.

- Testified yesterday to California Senators about the Tijuana River crisis. This has to stop. youtu.be/kg5PPp9U5CI?...
- End Kegsbreath!!!
- Including reasonable and supportive GOPs...like @scottpeterssd.bsky.social @mikelevin.org @vargas.house.gov @sarajacobs.house.gov
- As we hear from @kaitlyncollins.bsky.social this is SICK SHIT.
- Yes I fondly remember describing the concept of the ocean sneezing when we were walking down the @scrippsocean.bsky.social pier.
- This is crazy...another distraction making things less safe, not more.
- Ever wonder how a scientist studying the surface of the ocean ends up studying airborne disease transmission? Because the surface of the ocean and surface of your lungs are so similar!! Read about here in our new paper. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
- Says it all...
- I can't believe this is how far we have fallen as a country...
- Another one waking up…like Liz Cheney.
- Today was an emotionally challenging one for me. Had to first say goodbye to my 26 yr old son as he headed back to Europe. Then graduate my wonderful grad student Chris Frobenius (also 26) who completed a masterful Masters. When your academic and real life kids start crossing over…Time to think.
- Quiet piggy?? He is one sick creep...
