@JeremyClarkson is there any chance to get a pg-13 version of Clarkson's farm? It's so rich with core farming concepts, that I want to use it in my classroom.

Today for a bell ringer I asked possibly the most controversial question that we have had.

3 students created charts, 2 called their parents and 1 stormed out to call @smuckers helpline.
It was pure chaos.

@craignewmark thank you so much for your generosity on @DonorsChoose. We are now one step closer to completing our dream.

@penguinrandom for us audiobook folks is there a online version of the reading list in Call Sign Chaos?

Indianapolis is hosting a national symposium on Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. I figured it would've been in Nashville.

@Gastropodcast In my spare time I like to review some of #Galen's ideas to see how they hold up to today's evidence. Some of them hold up surprisingly well, some on the other hand...

@romanmars my job in the Marines was training other Marines how to react and respond to a chemical, biological, or nuclear attack.
This meant reading a lot of publications. One had this image that perfectly summed up so much.

The gut microbiome is alot like self driving cars... in 2003.
We have a lot of promise, and who knows where we will be in a couple decades.
But right now let's try to get more than ~8% of Americans to meet their dietary guidelines.

#Galen on #chickpeas: "... They nourish far more effectively, and incite the need for sex, being reputed at the same time to generate sperm."
Of course back then they were called 'dudebeans'.

Alongside #Galen's obsession with #barley are gems like this. Pubmed returned 0 studies on this claim, and #IRB has not returned my calls.
Currently looking for specialist in #Toxicology or #arachnids.

"Barley wafers are far less digestible of those of wheat, and fill the stomach with more wind." - #Galen

With nearly 6 times the dietary fiber of all purpose flour it's not surprising that #barley flour produces more "wind".

"Equally clear is that, by fanning a fire, you will cause it to blaze up, provided you do it gently; but that, by fanning it violently, you will weaken and enfeeble it."

There's some good words of wisdom from #Galen, among the crazed ramblings.

#Galen wrote "... whatever may be relevant, it is impossible to ascertain which foods are good and which are bad, or how to live, or more importantly thenature of human beings."
Galen may be among the earliest #nihilists.

The 4 humours are called as such because they knew it was so incomprehensible as to be funny.

@kamahaazi It's a day of freedom, if you don't drink a beer while kneeling, a bald eagle cries.

#Galen believed that some humans who consume milk produce 'fatty smoke'. We don't know if this is an early observation of lactose intolerance symptoms (flatulence, bloating, Diarrhea), or not. We do know either way the smell is horrendous.
