We enjoyed the opportunity to host Dr. Ali Nouri, assistant secretary of @energy's Office of Congressional and Intergovernmental Affairs during his recent visit to @princeton.

He took part in Princeton UniversityGrad #GSAW23 , discussing science policy w/ Roger Aines of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

⚔️Valyrian steel, forged by dragon fire🐲and charged with magical powers, is pretty tough. But the Department of Energy's National Labs have discovered something much tougher. In fact it's the toughest material ever found with all kinds of applications👇Game of Thrones

Ventilation. It works! And for those paying attention to the details, this study found 80% decrease in relative risk of infection at…drum roll…10 l/s/p. Which should sound familiar…

(From our recent Lancet The Lancet Covid-19 Commission report on proposed ventilation targets 👇)

Airborne transmission is a major route of infection for many respiratory diseases, including #COVID19 .

This important study shows that classrooms equipped with mechanical ventilation systems that clean up the air reduced #SARSCoV2 infection risk by 74%.

This is absolutely fascinating. A commercial hotel converted into a quarantine hotel, with structural issues, facilitated transmission through holes in the walls/ceilings.

💨Ventilation is key to stopping #airborne spread.

This report identified patients infected with #Omicron despite isolating in different rooms & on different floors.

The virus moved from room to room by going through structural defects in floors & walls: rb.gy/bxhp87

Can you detect #airborne SARS-CoV-2 in real time?

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory scientists stamped tiny salt-filled particles with the virus.

As the particles bump into airborne viruses they burst & the salt generates a⚡️signal that gets detected.

Time to commercialize this!

The Biden-Harris Administration’s clean energy agenda is delivering for American workers. Not too long ago there were ~no~ lithium-ion battery manufacturers in the U.S.

Zero.

President Biden prioritized growing good-paying clean energy jobs, & now we’re going to lead. Here’s a thread ⬇️
