Merry Christmas and Happy International Year of the Periodic Table! I’ve decorated my tree with ammonia (NH₃), carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), nitrogen (N₂), oxygen (O₂), sulfur (S₈), and water (H₂O) to celebrate the Coming of @iypt2019. Here’s a legend to help you figure out which bauble is which: ⚪️ Hydrogen H ⚫️ Carbon C 🔵 Nitrogen N 🔴 Oxygen O 🤓 Sulfur S

Yo fitness freaks and science lovers, come to the #Powerhoususeum tomorrow (Sunday 12 August) and I’ll show you how every atom gets into and out of your body. It will BLOW YOUR MIND! https://maas.museum/event/atoms-in-atoms-out-with-ruben-meerman/

This made my day, particularly coming from a triathlete/personal trainer

A slide from my keynote at the Dubai Health Forum, plus some fascinating facts about the fat in your fat cells: 1) Human fat is basically identical to lion fat, and camel fat, shark fat, gold fish fat or the fat of any of the Earth’s other creatures, great or small 2) All animal fats are basically identical to all vegetable oils because they’re all triglycerides, and 3) the only noticeable difference between all the triglycerides in Nature are their particular shade of yellow (which depends on the plant, or on the creature’s diet) and their melting points (which depends on the degree of saturation of the fatty acids that make up the triglyceride)... and one more bonus fact 4) when you cook meat, the matrix of collagen fibres that holds fat cells together shrinks, which makes the fat cells pop like microscopic grapes, which is why their oily triglyceride contents pour out and into the frying pan or onto the barbecue plate 🥑🍖🍤🍔🍟🧀🍳🥥

The weight loss secret nobody talks about: How many balloons of air do you breathe per minute? And how many carbon atoms are there in all those breaths? And how much food does it take to put that much carbon back into your fat cells? Thanks again to @dha_dubai for the privilege of sharing my Atoms In, Atoms Out message with the Youth Council

Very proud to accept this award from Dubai Health Authority Director General, H.E. Humaid Al Qutami, for explaining where fat goes in my keynote “Weight Loss: The Mathematics Behind the Biochemistry” at the @dha_dubai Dubai Health Forum

Massive thanks to @zanrowe for 13 years (!) of Mornings magic on @triple_j and looking forward to the next chapter on @doublejradio! #Repost @doctor_karl
