Goal is to test and evaluate the best masks out there. Mask up and stay safe!
- We need to do air filtration for PM2.5 and other contaminates, but when stacked with GUV I think we have a path the end of many airborne diseases. Great work by @donmilton.bsky.social in helping other learn more about it.
- We made it easy to use the OpenCPC, and how better to show it than via a video. Funny how in the last 5 years I have made more videos than the previous 35 years of my life combined. 😄
- It's not always easy to explain how we simplified CPC's, but I think this image really makes the case on how we re-invisioned what the optical counter within the CPC could be.

- @mfrumholtz.bsky.social just listened to you on the Wedge Live podcast. There were a few misstatements about air pollution that I think are relevant to the discussion. If you would like to chat about them and connect just let me know.

- Glad to bring the "little CPC that could" to the Healthy Indoor Air event at the UN today. The conversation in clean air are moving in the right directions. Open source hardware will be part of the solutions and proud to show off the OpenCPC as part of tools that can help us measure it.
- An early AM flight to NYC to join the Healthy Indoor Air event at the UN tomorrow. This is an important step in the process of helping get clean air legislation. You can watch it live tomorrow between 3:30 - 5:30PM ET. webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1v...
- Clean air is not complicated, and costs less than $10 per kid per year to do. This is the 4th year of managing this for my son's school. What happens when he moves to the next school, who will keep doing this for the other kids? We need clean air standards and legislation.
- Passionate about clean air, environmental justice, and community-based participatory research? The OSLUV Project(501c3 non-profit) is hiring for a Grant Project Manager position for a state funded air quality research effort. You also get to work with me 😂 www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/43...
- I couldn't think of a better way to have spent the last 2.5 years of my life. I am incredibly proud of what the team at @openaeros.bsky.social was able to accomplish. There were many who said this was impossible, but we did the impossible and this is just the start. 😁 #cleanairisahumanright
- It's crazy to me to see the US Forest Service deny the ever obvious health risks with breathing wildfire smoke. We lack good PPE because there is a limited market, it's a limited market because the Forest Service denies there is a problem. Need a demand pull for PPE. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/17/u...
- I made a bold claim this spring, if you recontextualize the 2022 CDC mortality data and look at the root cause of mortality, **the #1 killer in the US stuff you breathe**. Clean air leads to better health, including lower blood pressure. www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/...
- Poor air quality? Throw on a hyper-breathable mask and do your activities. Still managed over 18 mph highlighting that we have the technology and we should use it!
- [1/8] It has been awhile since I have read something that has so many mistakes...but the quote from the American Lung Association really takes the cake! @nytimes.com you really need to do better. Let's dig into what they got wrong. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/30/c...
- Yikes! Canadian wildfire smoke in the Twin Cities brings some serious increase in ultrafine counts even on a rainy day.
- Thanks Boston for the wonderful Nor'Easter weather and some high ultrafine counts. Food and people were good though. 😁 I will still come back.
- My concert essentials for 2025. Now the question is can you identify the drum and bass legend I went to see?

- More evidence that viruses are bad. If you haven't been following @polybiorf.bsky.social you should. There are no good viruses. While infections for many may be "mild", the life long implications are huge. Want to live longer? Avoid viral infections. Many are airborne! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
