It was another set of symptoms - skin rash like chicken pox - that helped me find my celiac / gluten free diagnosis. However, the brain fog went away. Brain fog is a common reason people try gluten free or low carb (keto, Meng, etc). G

Yes - at that time there were two common errors that we would find about once per week that were known issues. (Can’t remember specifics - but we were thrilled when an old WSJ article noted them.) They were a combination of multiplication

I finished an MBA at UNC in 2005, right as they aggressively partnered and launched an online MBA using the same branding. I got what I wanted from the degree, but it felt like the new product damaged the brand of the full time program.

In 1998 my first job involved manually checking very large xl sheets for government cases to confirm that the math was right. If there are $s involved, someone will notice.

In manufacturing - any position will interact with software for most of the day, and it is definitely part of the promotion path.

Could it be the law of small numbers? If we broke the world population out into groups the size of this population - one of them would have to be the longest lived. Then we could send reporters there to create a narrative around how they l

Wool fiber diameters are around 20 micron - HEPA can have glass fibers below 1 micron, and big box retail grades are often 5 - 10 micron. Smaller fibers = better filters.

A 0.3 micron filter will still remove some of the 0.1 micron material. Filtration works in lots of ways. Also, it is likely that the 0.1 micron particles here have a charge. The 0.3 micron test particle used for HEPA evaluation specifica

The 'research supply chain' will now start to close that gap. It typically starts with, 'Activity Y creates environmental challenge X' - and then someone else is left to determine if there is danger. There is a big gap

Could they mean that the material is suitable per 21CFR, but as you state, it would not meet the cleaning requirements. Benign material that could be single use, but a user should not be expected to be able to maintain a clean surface?

Many allergies are due to microparticles - which have individual features that are in the nano realm.

I wrote a blog post about one of the earlier studies in 2013 [see below]. HEPA filters can still be effective - the study doesn't talk about the charge of the UFPs - and the 0.3 micron DoP particles used in HEPA testing are designed to

This is a major issue in many pollution studies. High pollution tends to correlate with low income, low education and less access to healthcare worldwide. One of the biggest sources of indoor air quality (IAQ) pollution is indoor fires -

As someone who works in filtration - one of the primary ways to reduce pollution - stationary sources are easier to filter. Vehicles have limited under the hood space and are distributed.

All pollution is some kind of particle - here it just means that emissions are coming out of the tail pipe as a byproduct of the internal combustion engine, as opposed to the particulate created from braking, etc.

Contracts are tough when the employer isn't able to honor them. That forces the employee to vet the fairness of the offer and the employers ability to pay it out if needed.

$40k in '09 on a food focused web app - split with my brother. $2k last year on an education web app my wife worked on (that was our share, there were 3 other participants). The real killer is the time, not the $s out of pocket. My est

We'd brought up a wafer fab in the Hsinchu Scientific Park in Taiwan before - so we weren't strangers to the concerns about industrial espionage. Several of us have done a lot of work with the government and we'd manufacture

Agreed - that was the exact reason that I was apologizing to the guys in CZ. I simply had no idea. Once we talked through the issue, I trusted their judgment (just like they've trusted ours on the areas we know better). It was simply
