Mike Scully wrote "See My Vest", which was a parody of the song "Be Our Guest" from the 1991 film Beauty and the Beast. Mirkin loved Scully's work on the parody song, commenting, "The rhymes are really clever. It's one of our very best songs [on The Simpsons]."

Experimental hyperoxia (O2 supersaturation) reveals a gill diffusion limitation of maximum aerobic performance in fish | Biology Letters
royalsocietypublishing.org
Several studies have demonstrated that hyperoxia increases the maximal O2 consumption rate (ṀO2max) in fish, but exactly how this occurs remains to be explained. Here, we tested the hypothesis that...

A nice summary of where lactate comes from, and where it goes. Lactate definitely doesn't "burn off" https://t.co/ufm0Ej84Lg

What is lactate physiology, and what is its role in training? We get into some in-depth physiology, and discuss the where it comes from, what we are measuring, and how it can be used in endurance...
