Happy Weekend 👋
Fun fact: when you clean your teeth is usually the only time that you consciously clean your skeleton!
In today’s email we cover Ozempic & walking distance, weight vest problems & solutions, and no-nonsense skincare.
Travel is great for the mind, and so is learning in general. Today’s sponsor combines both, and offers the wonders of Geneva’s science gateway!

The Science City You Didn’t Know You Needed to Visit
Did you know that the World Wide Web was born in Geneva, Switzerland? Indeed, the first version of the Internet cropped up at CERN in 1989. Today the world-renowned center is home to the largest particle accelerator and to the CERN Science Gateway – a must-see hub for science enthusiasts that features hands-on exhibits, immersive virtual reality experiences, and live demonstrations.

One-Minute Book Review
The Skincare Bible: Your No-Nonsense Guide to Great Skin − by Dr. Anjali Mahto
The subtitle claims this to be a “no-nonsense guide to great skin”, and while subtitle claims can often wildly overstate what’s being delivered, in this case, the book really is a no-nonsense guide to great skin.
The author is a dermatologist, and as such she speaks from her professional knowledge and experience, which is a lot more reliable than someone’s latest hack on TikTok.
She gives a quick crash course on what skin actually is and how it works, giving time to genetic considerations, cellular matters, and the grander-scale physical issues at hand, as well as what things affect it and how, ranging from diet to UV light to hormones and more.
We also get a clear explanation of regular skincare as well as specific skin concerns, ranging from minor inconveniences to skin cancer.
You may wonder if she covers anti-aging treatments, and yes, she does.
The style is (as indeed promised by the subtitle) no-nonsense, insofar as it’s straight to the point, no hype, and no padding, just plenty of information-dense content while still being very readable.
Bottom line: if you’d like to seriously look after your skin but aren’t a fan of every latest trend, this book will be a welcome guide.
