JB: Yeah. Actually all of the US agencies that fund research and spend more than a certain level a year have required since the year 2013 that their grantees host the manuscripts resulting from this funded work in public repositories. Because the research was funded with taxpayers money and the public had a right to read the results. There was a compromise reached in that year where the grantees and their publishers could request an embargo on the public release of these scientific papers of up to 12 months. And this was requested by the publishers for business reasons that they did not want to kind of lose their exclusivity that they have by putting these articles at least initially behind a paywall. Now there’s a new policy that is being finalized as we speak and will be go into effect by the end of this calendar year.

JB: 2025. And it will require the immediate release in a federal public repository of articles that result from federal funding. So that’s a big change in US policy and one that’s causing some ripples. Researchers and their institutions and publishers are all looking at significant changes to make this happen and not everybody’s happy about it but it’s gonna have potentially a big effect because something like 9% of all of the world’s scientific papers are funded by the US government.

The persistence of smoke VOCs indoors: Partitioning, surface cleaning, and air cleaning in a smoke-contaminated house | Science Advances

December 22, 2024

https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adh8263

QT:{{”
Many volatile organic compounds (VOCs) persisted days following the smoke injection, providing a longer-term exposure pathway for humans….These rates imply that vapor pressure controls partitioning behavior and that house ventilation plays a minor role in removing smoke VOCs. However, surface cleaning activities (vacuuming, mopping, and dusting) physically removed surface reservoirs and thus reduced indoor smoke VOC concentrations more effectively than portable air cleaners and more persistently than window opening.

Variation in human water turnover associated with environmental and lifestyle factors | Science

November 10, 2024

from podcast
QT:{{”

….Okay. So when you got measurements from this big group
of people, you end up
with kind of a range of water turnover and it varies by person and location. So how does this range
that you measured in this diverse group of people? How does it stack up with eight, eight ounce
glasses a day, which is like two liters of water a day, that recommendation we discussed?
Most people are not going to need to drink, eight
glasses of water a day, two liters of
water a day. If you measure how much water flows through your body, how much water comes in
and goes out every day, there’s a lot of variation, but it’s something like three to four liters a day
total. And that includes not just the water that you drink, but that includes the water that’s in the
food that you eat.
