    Coronavirus in the lab can be eliminated in 30 seconds using mouthwash. But this hasn't been tested in people with COVID-19. Scientists at @cardiffuni mimicked the conditions of a human naso/oropharynx passage to test brands such as Dentyl and Listerine.

    Lol 🤣 We're even more inquisitive/annoying over at @sciencefocusQA, but you probably shouldn't be getting notifications at 1am. We'll see if we can do something about that.

    If @TiaKofi on #DragRaceUK has made you want to know more about Alan Turing, read this piece from the great mathematician's nephew, Dermot Turing.

    Alan Turing’s legacy should be for his triumphs, rather than his tragedy - BBC Science Focus...
    The great mathematician's nephew recalls how Turing will be remembered for work that goes far beyond codebreaking at Bletchley Park.
