Mitch, me, and Greg being un-scientific at camp I trust science. I do not always trust how science is interpreted. It's the reason there is so much confusion and misinformation about health, fitness, and - especially - weight loss.
So, when anyone tackles the pursuit of truth in a balanced, researched, unbiased and amusing way, I pay attention. Especially when they are also amazing people in real life. I got to catch up with Mitch and Greg at camp this past weekend, the duo behind ASAP Science. What can I say? They're smart, and I trust their mad research skillz. They're not bad with a white board and dry-erase markers, either.
I've included some of their videos on this blog already, like the one about sleep. And when I try to get science-y myself, to figure out or explain things like Ghrelin and Stress, I think about how they might pare it down to the simplest explanation and infuse it with humour. Because, let's face it, to tackle topics like morning wood, why babies are so cute, or whether silent farts are worse takes a sense of creative whimsy.

But the ones I'm most interested in are related to health and fitness. There are plenty. The effects of water. Sleep. Stress. Stretching. Their series of videos made for CBC during the winter Olympics are all about sports, competition, and athletes. Totally fitness-related!
