Submit questions in advance!

Dr. Richard Corsi, Dean, College of Engineering, UC Davis ( ), tweeted in Aug. 2020, in response to SARS-CoV-2, his concept of an affordable DIY air purifier using a box fan to pull virus-laden air through filters. His friend Tex-Air Filters CEO Jim Rosenthal duct-taped 5 filters to a box fan and proved that idea highly effective, greatly increasing airflow. Corsi–Rosenthal Boxes were born!  

Liesl McConchie, a learning expert and co-author of “Brain-Based Learning,” advocates for cleaner air in schools to protect health and cognition. She co-founded the CA Alliance for Clean Air in Schools, focusing on improving air quality through education, legislation, and regulation. Liesl has been a strong proponent of CR Boxes and has organized school events to build them.

Dustin Drury, former TV producer turned clean air advocate. He & volunteers from Clean Air LA table daily at Amoeba Music, distributing free clean air tools & teaching people on Hollywood Blvd how to wear a respirator. In tandem with other community groups, CALA volunteers have been building Corsi Rosenthal boxes and distributing them and other PPE across LA. CALA started in 2024 to provide tools to mitigate covid but have since grown due to wildfire air quality.
