Wishing everyone a happy, safe, and prosperous new year!

Whoah! 

We Need to Talk About Ventilation

How is it that six months into a respiratory pandemic, we are still doing so little to mitigate airborne transmission?

Hold on a sec and ponder that question? Why?

This article by Zeynep Tufekci via TheAtlantic got a valid point if you ask me. If this is true, then we need to change our ways and be more vigilant. The COVID19 pandemic is real folks.

Stay home as much as possible but if you ever go out, be wary of the places where you’re going. Always wear a mask to protect yourself from the micro-droplets and out of respect for others in case you are the one spraying the micro-droplets.

Follow guidelines. Be safe.

The current coronavirus pandemic has affected all of us. We no longer feel safe outside and has opted to stay in our homes most of the time.

Avoiding the coronavirus is our top priority. 

Thankfully, there are lots of resources out there in the internet to help us. Just be careful of the misinformation.

The good folks at Wired have a very useful guide on how to clean and disinfect stuff so we can stay healthy and not get sick.

Please take time to read the article as well as other tips and guidelines to stay healthy and survive this pandemic.

Also, as per WHO:

Stay safe everybody..

Have you guys really thought about getting to and actually living on Mars?

What would it be like? Will it be the same as in the movies or completely different?

This article deals with this scenario.

It turns out we’re not the only ones thinking about this. NASA, SpaceX, and Mars Society have their own ideas on what to do.

Take time to read this article. Who knows, maybe you can come up with your own plan..

Ooh, here’s a nice video from AI SpaceFactory about MARSHA.

Hola!

Let’s put down our phones for a bit and let our brains work.. What do you think?

This article is relevant right now given the fact that most of us can’t function without the internet.

Your thoughts? 

Greetings earthlings!

By now you’ve probably heard the news about the first ever photo of a black hole. This is a scientific breakthrough if you ask me.

This monumental event opens up new possibilities in our understanding of the universe.

As such, in turns out this feat was possible because of an algorithm created by Katie Bouman - an MIT grad student who likes to tinker with computers, :)

I know, i know - just google the name.. 

It turned out she did a TED talk about this subject a few years back.

This video is worth watching if you want to know how she did it.

Anyway, this garnered a lot of interest lately and chief scientist Jimmy Kimmel has some interesting things to say about this.

Do what everyone does and blindly click here to see.
