Why settle for a boring office divider when you can have a Clean Air Divider? 👀
We paired our SA600 with planters filled with air-purifying plants to create a divider that not only look good, but also cleans the air !
Clean air, better focus, and a stylish touch all in one. 🌿

🦠 New @nature.com study finds that respiratory viruses like flu & COVID can wake up dormant breast cancer cells in the lungs, triggering metastatic growth within days. This IL‑6‑driven inflammation correlated w/ higher metastasis & mortality risk in cancer survivors.

I’m at my first chemo appointment for breast cancer and I’m the only one wearing an N95. You’d think that, when you already have cancer, the last thing you’d want is COVID. It’s concerning how far we’ve strayed from science.
