My jam is eating behavior and contextual behavioral science.
Eating choices get a lot easier when you realize there isn’t some magic macro ratio diet rule.

Balanced-ish meals work because they help you feel more full. That’s it.

Then, you can totally eat unbalanced meals, if you’re willing to put more effort into noticing when full and stopping.

In this sample,
57% of covid patients had inflammation in the heart, valves, and blood vessels around the heart,
at 300 days post-infection.

With MRI and PET scans, they found scarring and thickening of the heart in 22% of the patients.

Interesting read: What happens when you dump saltwater on forest fires.

Works as a last resort to put out the fire, but can damage soil and plants for years afterwards.

Firefighting planes are dumping ocean water on the Los Angeles fires − why using saltwater is typically a last resort
In emergencies, dumping ocean water on fires may be the best option. But seawater can have long-term effects on equipment and ecosystems, as a novel coastal experiment shows.

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️
Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Thought-provoking thoughts to start your weekend.

Forget the Stanley Milgram experiments on obedience.

There's a new theory on what conformity is and it happens to be a lot more promising and hopeful.
