@DanCady @Msmariablack It does‼️ I’m listening to #BREATHLESS for the 3rd time & got a physical copy. It’s excellent science & narrative on SARSCoV2. Author @DavidQuammen interviewed ~ 100 researchers in all science fields relating to virus origins, controversies, virology, evolutionary molecular 1/
@DanCady @Msmariablack @DavidQuammen 2/virology, epidemiology and more

“We have a great deal of information, but not enough knowledge. #Breathless explains the basic science of the coronavirus in a way we can understand.

It shows how scientists all over the world mobilized and communicated to learn MORE
@DanCady @Msmariablack @DavidQuammen 3/ how the virus works, making it possible to develop vaccines faster than has ever been done before. Breathless is a portrait of science—and scientists—in action during a time of crisis.

@DanCady @Msmariablack @DavidQuammen 4/ If you want to understand these viruses—which will be w/us for the rest of our lives👉this is the book to read.

And if you want to appreciate the dedication, brilliance & internationalism of the scientific community as it races to save lives, this is also the book to read.”

“Low-background metals are valuable because they carry particularly low levels of radiation. Used as shielding in advanced particle physics projects and medical science devices like X-ray chambers, these metals won’t interfere with specialized, highly radiation-sensitive tools.”
2/“Most steel is made by blowing air or pure O2 into molten pig iron to remove impurities & make it stronger. Since start of atmospheric nuclear tests, all air-even purified O2, contains elevated levels of isotopes like cobalt-60,most new steel is infused w/radioactive particles.

2/“By drilling into sediment cores 100s of feet beneath Antarctica’s sea floor, scientists discovered that during previous periods of global warming—3M & 15M yrs ago—loose sediment layers formed & slipped, sending massive tsunami waves to the shores of S America, NZ & SE Asia.”
3/“Weak layers beneath 3 submarine landslides, consist of…oozes & glaciomarine diamicts. The lithological differences, from glacial to interglacial variations in biological productivity, ice proximity & circulation, caused changes in deposition preconditioning slope failure.”
