Fitness Reading For The Week : The Science of Food: An Exploration of What We Eat and How We Cook (by Marty Jopson)
I was chatting to a nutritionist last night, and it’s fair to say that she spends a fair bit of time in the kitchen (she isn’t alone there – I suspect many of us are similarly food-obsessed).
One of her book recommendations – and the one I’m about to dive into myself – is The Science of Food: An Exploration of What We Eat and How We Cook by Marty Jopson.
Wonderful.
Sleepmi (Anti Snoring Device)
Interesting device. The Sleepmi is a wearable device (worn beneath the chin during sleep) which aims to greatly reduce any snoring it detects. A pulse or two is sent out whenever it does. A targeted, timely massage. A little video : The Sleepmi.
The First Human Trial Of A Virus That Kills Cancer (Dr Ben Miles)
This video takes a look at the Phase 1 trial of Vaxinia (and oncolytic viruses in general), which hold enormous promise in the fighting of various cancers. Wonderful.

Fitness Reading For The Week : Deadly Outbreaks: How Medical Detectives Save Lives Threatened by Killer Pandemics, Exotic Viruses, and Drug-Resistant Parasites (by Alexandra M. Levitt)
A recent discussion aroused my curiosity of the ‘medical detective‘ side of things from prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the book Deadly Outbreaks thoroughly explores that world. Sadly/happily (depending on your viewpoint), things really don’t seem to have changed a great deal in the past few years.
Great read.
