Not that surprised N95 respirators significantly outperformed masks, but I am surprised that cloth masks were better at reducing exhaled SARS-CoV-2 virus compared to surgical masks! 😷

Publishing companies make record profits-without paying those doing the work; these APCs block publishing, especially from developing economies and early career scientists
High APCs hurt science
Granting bodies should bar grant use on High APC publishers

*howl* Happy Full Moon 🌕
Did you know some bat scientists theorize moon phases impact bat behavior? While some think full moons may support bat hunting efforts, others think full moons make bats more susceptible to predators, causing them to choose to reduce activity that night.
