Representing the United States—a beacon for freedom and democracy—at the Olympics is an honor. Anyone who feels otherwise should be stripped of their USA Olympic uniform.

A thread: an incomplete list of innovations that have increased lifespan/healthspan, in somewhat historical order: 1) Germ theory of disease, leading to pasteurization, boiling and filtration of water, etc. Before this people were drunk all the time because water was dangerous.

Some stats textbooks label models using a numeric system. Other texts label models with descriptors. Which method do you prefer? Example pics above. Give me all your hot takes below.

#RStats Some stats textbooks label models using a numeric system (e.g., McElreath, 2020; left pic). Other texts label models with descriptors (e.g., Roback & Legler, 2021; right pic). Broadly speaking, which method do you prefer? Poll below.

@stevemagness Chariots of Fire is all about the pursuit of excellence but where are the women above? King Richard and Lessons in Chemistry are the very models of a modern major pursuit of excellence.

What are the best shows, movies, and documentaries that exemplify the pursuit of excellence? In this weeks FAREWELL podcast we did a draft to pick the best ones. What did we miss? Whose team personifies excellence best? Listen to FAREWELL on any podcast host.

7/ "Anaerobic respiration" -- WTF? Respiration means breathing (which we now understand as gas exchange) not ATP synthesis. Cellular respiration uses "respiration" not because ATP is made but because the cell is exchanging O2/CO2 across the plasma (and mitochondrial) membranes!

1/ Exercise physiology has some horrendous examples of language that is begging for introducing misconceptions in students and athletes. "fast glycolysis" and "slow glycolysis", "anaerobic glycolysis" and "aerobic glycolysis", and my favorite "anaerobic respiration".
