    Not presumably forever; not perhaps for a day after Nov. 3, 2020; not on every issue or in every way until then. But for the time being one has to say: We are all Democrats now.

    Our latest paper documents patterns in transcriptional error rates. When they are high, there is gene-level selection to reduce them in highly expressed genes. When they are low, they are equal across genes.

    This. Gutsy and helpful explanation of the backstory. Could happen to any of us, but ask yourself (honestly) if you’d handle it so well?

    And, same publication shows that the average sneeze droplet is 1 micron, which should be filtered out very well by an N95 mask. (By definition, N95 masks filter 95% of particles >= 0.3 microns) Also remember that N95 masks have to be fitted snugly to your face to work properly.
