🚨NEW STUDY🚨
🌊Recent study "presents the mass balances linked with #CarbonDioxideRemoval using seawater as both the source of reactants & as the reaction medium via electrolysis following the “Equatic” (formerly known as “SeaChange”) process."

"The #Equatic process, broadly detailed in (pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…), involves the application of an electric overpotential that splits H2O to form H+ & OH– ions, producing #acidity & #alkalinity, i.e., in addition to gaseous coproducts at the anode & cathode, respectively."

"The #alkalinity that results, i.e., via the steady electrolytic pH pump results in the rapid precipitation of CaCO3, hydrated magnesium #carbonates (e.g., nesquehonite & hydromagnesite, etc.) or Mg(OH)2 depending on the carbonate ion-activity in solution."

Neutralization data for #omicron is out. By request of @andrew_croxford, I try to explain how scientists investigate #neutralization. First, it's lab-based data. It’s impossible to directly conclude from neutralization data that #vaccines will not work anymore in the field. 1/X
@andrew_croxford Second, assays are legion! I developed one myself, which is different to the one used by the lab of e.g., @CiesekSandra, in terms of #virus, incubation times, etc. Keep that in mind if you compare two papers directly. I will explain how I did my assay. 2/X
@andrew_croxford @CiesekSandra Third, you must understand that such an assay generates data about neutralization of the virus by antibodies in the serum. These assays do not allow for measuring the effect of e.g., T cells or memory B cells.

Mutations in the #SARSCoV2 spike #protein result in tighter binding to the #ACE2 receptor and allow escape from monoclonal #antibody neutralization. Online now! @UniofOxford
