Child mortality was so common, that in this 1665 London Bill of Mortality many deaths are labeled 'Chrisoms'. This originally meant a white cloth used in baptism, but eventually became the term for a child that died within a month of being born. 'Infants' is a category too.🥺

Really enjoyed this article - notable how long it took to adopt pasteurization for milk!. Reminded me of this Atomic Energy Commission promotional video about promise and benefits of Radiation Pasteurization:
The Baby Boom swept over a vast range of countries, from the UK & Australia, to Finland & France. In the US alone, 76 million babies were born in its peak 18 years. In @WorksInProgMag, @ASarygulov & I investigate what caused this demographic phenomenon.

Had a fun time chatting with @patio11!. We cover everything on far-UVC from the basics to the history to some of the promises and challenges!.
This week on Complex Systems, an in-depth exploration of far UVC with @JacobSwett of Blueprint Biosecurity. Far UVC is an ultraviolet lighting technology which may be as important for infectious disease control as water treatment and food supply chain management before it.
