“… a 2018 review noted the relationship between and energy intake being J-shaped: is dysregulated at low levels of physical activity, creating a mismatch between the energy expended and the amount of food consumed, leading to weight gain. On the other hand, as physical activity increases, so too does satiety signalling, which reduces the amount of food consumed.”

I have listened to many fascinating interviews on @thegradient . This recent dialog between Professor Peter Tse and Daniel Bashir on from the perspective of is especially intriguing!

Some rough notes I can remember of:

  • Danger of using metaphors in science: neurons as toilets
  • "Deadly weapons" in the fights of seeking truths:
  • Mathematical logic: mathematical contradiction
  • Science: falsification

practice run: 12.76 miles.

Sunday will be fairly challenging to me (see my post https://sigmoid.social/@BenjaminHan/111439873883972870). I also had a stupid accident involving a one-wheel hoverboard, so my expectation will be: just finishing it. Wish me luck!
