II am an artist but a science advocate; RFK jr has Zero business heading NIH / CDC. He has already caused great harm. Without science I would be toast. Most people are not aware how science has helped them personally. Even lay people will find the discussions very illuminating. The hard part is getting people to partake. It’s also entertaining with much humor.

Daniel’s and the entire podcast teams credibility declines the more they deviate from science to politics. Please bring the podcast back to science.

I’ve been listening since the COVID pandemic. Weekly update with Daniel Griffin is pure gold because he communicates so that lay people can also follow along. I love the group discussions even though much goes over my head. I’m a middle school English teacher who has great respect for scientists. Thank you for all you do!

This week, not for the first, time I listened to your mini rants about the noise of leaf blowers, but have you considered the potential for these damnable devices to spread dangerous microbes in addition to the health harming noise and 2.5 particulate both from the inefficient engines and the material being blown? Consider the composition of the vast amounts of particulate and how much is from sources such as fecal mater. Studies show this stuff remains in the air up to 3 days. Speaking of transferring h1 n1 from birds to pigs you say “if it gets in their snout”, is this a way that can happen? I would like to hear your thoughts on the potential spread of disease by these machines. I live in a condo development surrounded by more of same and the lawn maintenance contractors employ them nearly all day everyday.
