Although @CDCgov has relaxed masking guidance for fully vaccinated individuals, there are a lot of situations where they still recommend masks, including universal masking for unvaccinated individuals. Stay safe, be kind, and help your neighbors!

We're raising $3000 to provide testing of 3-layer masks, using both spunbond nonwoven polypro & cotton-NWPP combinations. We want to help sewists find better materials 4 safer masks. Can you help us meet our goal? @OSMedSupplies @helpfuleng @PatchesThru

This @NYTimes "Lesson of the Day" about mask effectiveness comes complete with discussion questions and a neat little AR experience that lets you stand inside the magnified fibers of an N95 respirator to see how it filters aerosols. #Masks4All #NWPP4maskss

In this lesson, students will go on a visual journey to see how effective a swath of fabric can be at fighting the coronavirus. Then they will create posters to inform others about what they learned.

Templates and a fabric cutter make life easy when working with nonwoven polypropylene. #nwpp4masks #opensource
Busy day making acrylic templates for helping folks make masks! These are for our two Open-Sourced mask designs (MakeIt Fitted Mask, and MakeIt Clearly Heard Mask) #makerspace #COVID19 #keepingeachothersafe

Hey! MakerMask was cited in a recent paper! Long et al, October 2020 compared filtration and breathability of mask material combinations and found that three layers of NWPP performed well on both. https://t.co/DRgkX5kd5l

Terrific @Nytimes illustrations and animations on the basics of mask materials and design. They even show the random walk of particles through nonwoven materials and talk about why this is so powerful. #NWPP4masks #COVID19 #getusppe

A visual journey through the microscopic world of the coronavirus shows how masks provide an important defense against transmission.

Mask testing results are in! Upcycled nonwoven polypropylene (NWPP) mask materials performed better than expected, passing lab tests for @ASTMIntl Level 2 Fluid Resistance. Way to keep those droplets from getting through! #NWPP4masks #COVID19 #getusppe

Test results show that upcycled spunbond nonwoven polypropylene (NWPP) mask materials can provide high-level (ASTM Level 2) fluid resistance.
