Proč všichni řeší kreatin Kreatin zvyšuje svalový objem a výkon. Proto se stal – především ve formě kreatinmonohydrátu – zasloužilým členem seznamů doplňků stravy pro sportovce. Tato látka má nejspíš budoucnost i v neurologii ...

Kdo občas zabrousí na internetové stránky věnující se sportu či doplňkům stravy, asi jej neminula kreatinová mánie. Objevují se ale i kritické hlasy, které – někdy oprávněně – posedlost kreatinem brzdí. Co o něm víme a co by nás mělo zajímat?

It has an upside.
From now on, we can continue to safely vaccinate our children.

A friendly reminder: If a so-called nutritional expert talks in a way that you can substitute the word "hormones" with "chakras" without a change in meaning of their claim, you are pretty safe to assume they do not know their physiology.

🧵 I know it's ridiculous, but when he's talking mitochondrial challenges & inflammation, he's again referring to his idea of vaccine-induced autism. Let me explain.

That's 105 kilos.
Apparently, when I 1) sleep more than 5,5 h a night and 2) don't train at 7AM but in the afternoon, it's not THAT bad.
Who would have said so, huh.

YouTube video by Český rozhlas Radiožurnál Vinohradská 12: Recept na dlouhověkost. Mají ho influenceři?

Zajímavej pocit přijít si takhle do Českého rozhlasu, koukat na všechna ta ocenění za Podcast roku, spálit si jazyk kafem z frenchpressu a pak se tvářit, že něco vím.

I know what you mean.

If you are a PhD from a different field, you don't understand shit about what it's talking about, and if your PhD is from the same field, you realize it actually is shit and you gotta find out by yourself.

Hlas Vesmíru tentokrát o (ne)umělých sladidlech!

⁉️Jsou umělá sladidla škodlivá?
🧑‍⚕️Stojí za vznikem metabolických a nádorových onemocnění?
📋Jak o nich získat ty nejvěrohodnější informace?

O tom všem jsme si povídali s buněčným biologem @obradam.bsky.social

Oh yes, the famous study from my country, from people known as hardcore "vaccine skeptics".

What the study show is that you can actually publish anything as "scientific text", if you really want to.

Does ChatGPT rot your brain? Well, maybe, but the preprint everyone has been talking about doesn't show that. That and more of the best from @science.org and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪

5) It is a conversation.

Consider every talk a dialogue. Hell, consider every article you write a dialogue. Things will become far more engaging - for you, and for anyone who is interested.

4) Language.

Nobody cares how do you call it in a lab. It's molecules. It's things and stuff. It's biochemical magic that usually does not have to be called names.

3) Explain. Then explain some more.

The key word is "communication". How do you expect to communicate effectively with a human, of you talk about different things at the same time?

2) You are there to teach them something. Not to show how much you know.

Only a select few people have the ability to explain anything on the deepest level. Chances are you're not the select few.

Here are my 5 (not so standard) rules for communicating science to general public:

1) People are not stupid. They just don't have the knowledge.

Yes, people can be clever and yet still be uninformed about cell biology. People also can know everything about cell biology and be completely dumb.

“What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?”

Most drugs have several activities in the human body, and discovery of these effects goes on for years after they are on the market.
