Important findings from our #vaping research: A new study shows the nicotine in certain types of e-cigarettes may be more harmful than others. Also, the nicotine in e-cigarettes stimulates the same receptor many heart medications are designed to inhibit. uoflnews.com/post/uofltoday/…

Tom and Sarah have made a teaching video on how to use the Flexivent system to assess lung mechanics and airway resistance. It’s good for lung research. youtu.be/Aw7i2OsBDR8

We started studying cloth masks in March. Preprint now at medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/… Take-home: Cloth masks are not an N95, but they work reasonably well for aerosols 1-2 microns and larger, which is the size that we think mostly mediates transmission. See thread. /1
