Studies show the environment you live in impacts your COVID mortality risk. Over the last few years we’ve been innovating technologies to better understand how the environment (indoor/outdoor) impacts our health, wellness & overall performance. #AirAngel advances.sciencemag.org/cont…

This week our friends at Cemrock are hard at work creating rockwork paths and ledges for the upcoming Snow Leopard habitat @SFZoo. The rockwork is designed for the leopards to jump, perch and nap for maximum feline enjoyment and wellness. Stay tuned for the “after” photo!
