What actually happens to caffeine after you drink it? your liver breaks caffeine into three separate biologically active molecules, each with different effects. This pathway shows exactly how your body metabolizes caffeine, and why people respond so differently to the same cup

A 100 bushel soybean crop removes ~320 pounds of N! That N is derived from biological nitrogen fixation and the soil. This is what non-nodulating soybean looks like on sand.

I read this Cell paper that argues to have discovered a molecule (betaine) that mimics the geroprotective effects of exercise. This is a very valuable multi-omics resource, but the authors seemed to get caught in the rabbit hole of chasing a high-impact narrative🧵
