First protein, now exercise. How much do you need to reap the health benefits?

The good news is, probably not as much as you think... πŸ§ͺ

Beautiful new film for @nature.com from @emzywb.bsky.social youtu.be/8atR9SGoVLA I was really excited when Emily agreed to make an ADHD doc including some part of her own diagnosis in the story, and she absolutely knocked it out of the park.

Influenza Every year, there are about one billion cases of influenza globally, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths.

With the recent spread of the bird flu virus to cattle and other mammals β€” including humans β€” influenza is once again emerging as a major public-health threat. Better vaccines could ride to the rescue, but only if research on them is supported. www.nature.com/collections/...

Ok, if you need something a little less rowdy than Cimmerian sword fights to start your day let’s go back to 1987 as Tony Hart gently teaches british children how to draw their own pagan temple, ruined but still standing eternal guard and lit by the morning fires of the awakening sun god. Magic TV
