A 🧵on air quality and COVID transmission risk. I have a CO2 monitor - it shows me how recycled and stuffy the air is and an idea of how risky my location is for breathing in COVID from other people. Masks are not mandated inside now, so let's see what common areas are like... First up, hiking outdoors. Beautiful - if you can get up kunanyi/Mt Wellington do it. Baseline good air is at 451 parts per million (ppm) of CO2.

2/ (spoiler: it gets worse) A CO2 meter outside. The reading says 451 ppm. This is good.

Today at my first #SciData18 conference with @SpringerNature. Today's themes are:
mentoring open science
+
making data findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable throughout the research lifecycle Data Generalist @becky_boyles

Scientists must store, integrate, analyse, compare + share data sets. Via @TheEconomist, data is the new oil

Or is it the new plastic?

Careful how data used as resource. Closed v shared v open data. Not even 'open data' is truly open #SciData18
