As an absolute layman, I was pleasantly surprised by how many different sounds the organ can make! And Matthew's jazzy Jingle Bells and the Mirroir piece really broke my prejudice about the instrument only being fit to play baroque or religious music.

SEMIPRO CYCLINGCycling Performance Club: Should we be blood lactate testing cyclists?- Part 1Lactate and its association with exercise has been known for more than 200 years after Jöns Jakob first observed it in the muscles of hunted stags. Consequently, knowledge of its relationship with exercise is deeply rooted in both popular culture and among endurance athletes. However, more recent research has demonstrated lactate’s presence during exercise has largely been misunderstood for much of this time.During this two part series, we do a deep dive into all things lactate to assess whether or not we should still be blood lactate testing cyclists, and whether there are better alternatives. So...2021-10-131h 04

Videnskabeligt Udfordret#032: Du kan svede tis!Hvornår har du sidst tænkt over hvor mærkeligt sved egentlig er? Når vi mennesker bliver overophedede af overdreven aktivitet eller varme, så er vi så irrationelle at vi ikke bare stopper med aktiviteten som andre dyr måske ville gøre. Nej, vi fortsætter fandeme. Og for at kompensere, begynder vi at pumpe saltvand ud gennem små bitte huller i vores hud, og det selvom vi er fuldstændigt klar over at vand er en mangelvare i overdreven varme! Og som om det ikke var slemt nok, så virker det til at vi mennesker er...2021-08-101h 14
