Cheesecake, Almond croissants, banana muffins, maple-syrup pancakes, blueberry bagels, apple pies, not pineapple pizza, cookies of all shapes/tastes/sizes, honey-glazed cinnabons, all of Krispy Kreme's donuts, Starbuck's Mocha Frappucino's, and sweet sweet gas-station soda.
Now, that you're drooling like an about-to-be-fed doggo, let's talk about carbs and not the ones mentioned above.

Carbohydrates are the body's favorite source of fuel since they're the easiest to turn into glucose out of the 3 macronutrients (carbs, fats, and proteins).
In the body, there's around 500g of carbs stored in the form of glycogen (aggregation of glucose) within muscles (around 400g) and the liver (around 100g). That translates to roughly 2000 Kcal in total. Taking into account the basal metabolic rate (the amount of energy the body burns in a state of rest), the rest is easily depleted during an intense workout session.
Once the glycogen stores are exhausted, the body turns to fats and proteins for fuel. Losing protein is the same as losing muscle and that's every gym rat's worst nightmare. No, seriously, we lose our sh*t.

If you're in a state of panic right now (or not), here's what Associate Professor at the University of Colorado Boulder, Robert Mazzeo had to say to put your mind at ease:
"Regarding the precompetition meal, there are several important guidelines to consider. The meal should be consumed 2-3 hours prior to competition to allow for complete digestion. This will reduce the need of the digestive system for blood flow, thus allowing for greater flow to the working muscles. Also, this will allow time for insulin levels to return to normal after the meal.

An elevation in insulin levels immediately before the onset of exercise would promote glucose uptake in all insulin-dependent tissues, including adipose and non-active muscles, which will limit blood glucose availability for the working muscles.

The precompetition meal should be light, between 300 and 500 calories, and be high in carbohydrates and low in fats and fiber that take longer to digest.

Additionally, I remind you of other nutritional considerations previously mentioned in this course. First, having more glycogen stored in muscle prior to a competition will slow its depletion, delaying the onset of fatigue, resulting in an improvement in performance or time to exhaustion."

By "precompetition" meal, he was addressing athletes. Most athletic competitions are high-intensity activities. So, it's safe to apply the same advice during the days you have intense workouts and adjust the pre-workout meal at around the 300 calories for moderate-intensity workouts.

Gâteau au fromage, croissants aux amandes, muffins à la banane, crêpes au sirop d'érable, bagels aux myrtilles, tartes aux pommes, pas aux pizzas à l'ananas, biscuits de toutes formes / goûts / tailles, cannelle glacée au miel, tous les beignets de Krispy Kreme, moka frappucino de Starbuck's, et doux sucré soude de station-service.
Maintenant que vous bave comme un doggo sur le point d'être nourri, parlons des glucides et non de ceux mentionnés ci-dessus.

Les glucides sont la source de carburant préférée de l'organisme, car ils sont les plus faciles à transformer en glucose parmi les 3 micronutriments (glucides, lipides et protéines).
Dans le corps, il y a environ 500 g de glucides stockés sous forme de glycogène (agrégation de glucose) dans les muscles (environ 400 g) et le foie (environ 100 g). Cela se traduit par environ 2000 calories au total. Compte tenu du taux métabolique basal (la quantité d'énergie que le corps brûle dans un état de repos), le reste est facilement épuisé lors d'une séance d'entraînement intense.
Une fois que les réserves de glycogène sont épuisées, le corps se tourne vers les graisses et les protéines pour le carburant. Perdre des protéines revient à perdre du muscle et c'est le pire cauchemar de tout rat de gym. Non, sérieusement, nous perdons notre sh * t.

Si vous êtes dans un état de panique en ce moment (ou pas), voici ce que le professeur agrégé à l'Université du Colorado Boulder, Robert Mazzeo a dû dire pour vous rassurer:
"En ce qui concerne le repas de pré-compétition, il y a plusieurs directives importantes à considérer. Le repas doit être consommé 2 à 3 heures avant la compétition pour permettre une digestion complète. Cela réduira le besoin du système digestif pour la circulation sanguine, permettant ainsi un plus grand débit Cela permettra également aux niveaux d'insuline de revenir à la normale après le repas.

Une élévation des niveaux d'insuline immédiatement avant le début de l'exercice favoriserait l'absorption du glucose dans tous les tissus insulino-dépendants, y compris les muscles adipeux et non actifs, ce qui limitera la disponibilité de la glycémie pour les muscles qui travaillent.

Le repas de pré-compétition doit être léger, entre 300 et 500 calories, et être riche en glucides et faible en graisses et en fibres qui prennent plus de temps à digérer.

De plus, je vous rappelle d'autres considérations nutritionnelles précédemment mentionnées dans ce cours. Tout d'abord, avoir plus de glycogène stocké dans les muscles avant une compétition ralentira son épuisement, retardant le début de la fatigue, entraînant une amélioration des performances ou du délai d'épuisement. "

Par un repas de «précompétition», il s'adressait aux athlètes. La plupart des compétitions sportives sont des activités de haute intensité. Il est donc prudent d'appliquer les mêmes conseils pendant les jours où vous avez des entraînements intenses et d'ajuster le repas de pré-entraînement à environ 300 calories pour les entraînements d'intensité modérée.

Quarantine day number "I've counted every tile in the house". 😨
In the midst of social distancing and its side effects on our psychological wellbeing, people have been sharing lots of vaccine clickbaits.
It's alright though, I'll help you get the right dose of reliable information; pun very much intented.

To address the elephant in the room, vaccines take a minimum of 1 year to be developed. Don't pout, yet. Medecine to alleviate some of the symptoms of Covid-19 may take less than that. Some on-the-market drugs have shown some promising results even. 😄
If you're wondering why it takes that long, let me answer that for you: there are multiple types of vaccines. Each has pros and cons. Aside from that, different stages of development are in order to ensure the safety, efficacy, and expansion of the vaccine. 🤓

Let's start with the different types of vaccines.

1. Live-attenuated vaccines: it's when the big bad pathogen (virus or bacteria) gets weakened. Think of a fangless vampire. The pathogen has antigens (little thingies that makes it unique, sort of like prints), which get recognized by the immune system cells (B-cells, T-cells, Macrophages, etc). The antigen triggers an acute immune response. Remember the shots we had in high school? The next couple of days weren't fun, were they? In the aftermath of the immune reponse, B-cells form memory cells that would recognize the same antigen, in case the pathogen makes a come back, and therefore quickens the production of antibodies. Let's face it, most of them do, just like Comic book villains. 👺
Usually, 1-2 doses are enough to provide us with a lifetime protection.
Live-attenuated vaccines can cause complications if administered to indivduals with compromised immune systems. That alone rules it out the type of vaccine for coronavirus.

2. Inactive vaccines: Scientist kills the pathogen. Health care professional injects you with dead pathogen. Same process applies as with the live-attenuated vaccines, except that we'd need more doses, called booster shots. The end.

3. Subunit, recombinant, polysaccharide, and conjugate vaccines: with a long ass name, you'd think explaining it would require a manuscript. Not really. These vaccines use a part of the pathogen (antigen, protein, capsid, etc.) that is known to best stimulate the immune system. These vaccines are safe for all indivuduals, including those with compromised immune systems and health problems. The only downside is that we might need booster shots to preserve the effects.

4. Toxoid vaccines: toxins are bad. Ask anyone who's been bitten by a venomous snake. Toxoids are non-toxic toxins. They're chemically modified and used to boost the immune system against toxins produced by certain bacteria. The Tetanus vaccine is one of them.

5. Nucleic Acid vaccines: Unlike the types above, this one stands out. It doesn't use any infectious agents whatsoever. Instead, it uses the genetic sequence responsible for producing the antigen. How? Genetic engineering baby! The seuquence gets embedded within a plasmid and voilà (well, not really that simple but you get the point). After injection, the antigen gets produced within the body in a non-threatening dosage and the immune system takes care of it. Rince and repeat. It's basically building tolerance over time.
This type of vaccine got all the attention since it has been introduced (without even asking for it. Something Donald Trump knows nothing of). Anyway, the reason why Nucleic Acid vaccines are great is because they
*stimulate both humoral (antibodies) and cellular immune (T-cells) systems
*Are easily to store and transport
*Are cheap to manufacture
* Have better stability than the ones above

And the winner of the type-of-vaccine-to-fight-Covid-19 is *drum rolls* Nucleic acid vaccines. Okay, not entirely.
If you want to know the rest of it, tune in for part 2, which will be posted tomorrow at the same time.

Who's in the mood for some folklore? Me. Me. Me!
Gather round kids, I've got a tale to tell.

In Greek mythology, the constellation cancer, or what the valley girls like to call "O.M.G I'm such a cancer" (because they are), was created by the Goddess Hera in honour of the Crabs that fought on her side to hinder Hercules in one of his labours. Talk about a bitter b**ch.

Hercules, as I assume you should know, is one of the bastard sons of Zeus. The cheating king of Gods (whom Hera should've punished instead of his offspring but what do I know about justice that Greek Gods didn't) vowed to crown king to one of the lands to his first Grandson. That gradson was supposed to be Hercules, except the bitter b**ch prematurely accelerated the birth of Hercule's cousin Eurystheus.

I know I'm throwing a lot of information your way, just enjoy the beauty of the folklore.
Anywho, Hercules second labour was to defeat the Lernean hydra, one of the monstrous spawns of Echidna and Typhoon (If you've never heard of those two, I want you to read about them and then imagine if they were real. That should give you goosebumpbs).

During this labour, Hercules had his nephew, Iolaus, as a traveling/hunting companion. Together, they figured out how to stop the monster's heads from regenerating.

Here's kicker: Hera, witnessing how close the two champions were to their finish line, sent out army of crabs to distract them from the Hydra.

Crabs? Really, woman? You're a Goddess and all you could send were Crabs? Couldn't you send a flock of eagles? How about Poisonous swamp snakes? You know, to go with the serpentine theme going on with the Hydra and whatnot.
Anyway, Hercules prevailed. The end.

Who here haven't heard of the term "cramming"? Please, stand up and get over here to get your fair share of ridicule. 😒
If you seriously haven't heard of cramming before today, then you're probably a straight A student, if not the top of your class (for consecutive years, I assume).
In any case, congratulations, you've been studying in an effective way. 👋✋

For the rest of us, let me further explain why prepping for an exam a day or two before is just as a bad as sitting for an exam while hungover. (I'd sit for an exam high though). 🤷

Nerd time: the brain is a muscle. It needs to be exercised everyday just like any other muscle in the body, otherwise it starts to lose its functions. This muscle also, like the rest of the muscles, has its breaking point. Can you squat for 3 hours without resting? Well, you can't study for 3 hours straight either. Trust me, you'd become cross-eyed and start seeing formulas going round in circles on top of your head. 😵

Say, you decide to be a smart ass and say "well, I'm going to follow the pomodoro technique all day long. That way, I can hack the system". Hold my glasses *face palm*.🤦

No, no, no, no. Oh and did I mention NO?
Common sense time: In order for muscles to function, you have to keep a study supply of glucose and oxygen. Guess what? Glucose is depleted over time, decreasing the productivity of the brain. 🤓

Don't even think about. No, injecting yourself with glucose syrum like you're in a hospital won't work either. Muscles need time to recover. You can't just hack biology with a few cheap tricks. Quit trying to find excuses to cram. Start working on your time management, and see if you can fit an hour to 2 hours per day to study (on a regular basis).
Studying can become a habit just like anything else if you stay consistent. 🙃
Research has shown that, on average, a habit can be formed in 66 days.

Hey, don't pout. I crammed before, way more than I should've. That doesn't mean you can't break the cycle. 😇

Ever studied a subject before an exam and then gathered round your classmates to explain a chapter or a specific concept? You felt like a badass with sunglasses, didn't you? 😎
I know I did throughout y highschool career and that's the nerd within me talking. 🤓

Guess what? I was actually cementing that information even further within my memory, which explains why I always had good grades in the subjects I taught my classmates. *self high-five* 👋

You must've gussed it by now (It's literally written on the graphic accompanying this text 🤦). Today's strategy is "learning by teaching".

One of the theories circulating around the efficacy of such method revolves around the retrieving effect, also known as the testing effect.
Do I really need to explain that? 🤔 You know, testing effect? Taking tests? You retrieve previously-studied information during tests? 😓
Let me guess your reaction "OHHH... I get it now," he/she/they said with a goofy face.
Settle down, I'm just messing with you! 😅

Anyway, so far that seems to be the only theory explaining this phenomenon. Hopefully, further research will be done to maybe shine the light on other processes involved.

Hey guys, remember when we'd get in the badunk kadunks while playing soccer and we were told to walk it off? 😥
Hey ladies, remember when... Well, I don't know, does it hurt when you're hit in the watermelons while playing volleyball? 🤔

Anyway, today I'm going to teach you a new term "Sleep it off". Not, not your hangover.
Look, it's been suggested that studying while tired and exactly right before going to bed, enhances information retention. Like it ain't enough to stress about the damn things while awake, we've to think about it during our sleep. No wonder students suffer from panda-eyes syndrome. 🐼

“We’ve learned that sleep before learning helps prepare your brain for initial formation of memories,” says Dr. Matthew Walker, a sleep scientist at the University of California, Berkeley. “And then, sleep after learning is essential to help save and cement that new information into the architecture of the brain, meaning that you’re less likely to forget it.”

Did he just say "architecture"? I guess he hasn't had a peek inside the entropy I call brain. 🙃

Get this, while awake, we form memories throughout our interactions with the material world. Those memories are frail, kind of like the state of my knees right now. Then, when we sleep, our glorious brains sifts through the fragments of memories we collected throughout the day and decides which ones to keep and which ones to ignore. Some memories are basically like those thirsty guys sliding in a hot mamasita's DM (the brain) and getting left on seen. 🤦

This whole process is related to the sleep phases that form the sleep cycles. Those phases include light sleep, deep sleep, and rapid eye movement (REM, when dreams usually occur).

For some reason, I've always used this technique and even talked about it to my friends but never until today that I actually took the time to prove it scientifically.
There I go, sciencing like a badass! 😎

Take a look at your photo gallery. No, not the screenshot section where you roast other people and gossip about Dave trying to slide in your DM. It's probably filled with picture of study material sent from your classmates. Alright, cool. I was once convicted of such fellony.

Now, pick up your printed study material, read something and assimilate it.
Done? Cool. Now, pick a digital copy of another study material, read something and assimilate it.
Which one do you think you took you less time to understand and remember?

That was rheotorical, I don't want to know, I have science backing me up not anecdotal evidence.

Before, you start cussing me, hear me out. I come bearing gifts.
Research has shown that students were able to retain information better from printed media than from digital means. When it came to reading speed, digital outperformed print. We tend to read faster on out mobile devices than reading a book or a piece of paper.

When it came to performance, 2 keys metrics were involved.
1. General comprehension: reading a passage and understanding its key idea.
2. Specific comprehension: reading a passage and remembering the specifics. (self-explanatory much?)

When it came to general comprehension, the medium didn't matter (just like the 2 ts in the british pronounciation of the word "matter").
Print took the win in the battle of specific comprehension. Scientists linked the results to the disruptive effect (being distracted by scrolling and popping notifications).

I've always rooted for print anyways so, good on me. When will it be good on you?

Interleaving, Intertwine, Internal. What do those words have in common? "Intern".
No, no, my neurons are working fine (maybe not).

Let's talk about today's learning strategy: Interleaving.

What's that you ask? Even if you didn't ask, I'm going to tell you because I'm that annoying friend of yours who's a know it all. (Get it? Know it all? Nevermind).

Nerd time: Interleaving, also called mixed practice, is the act of mixing up different subjects throughout study sessions. Say, you've got 4 different classes you're taking this semester (which is impossible by Tunisian standards). You'd focus on one subject during each study session. Nothing strenuous.
Let's take this example:
- Monday: 2 hours of Calculus
- Wednesday: 2 hours of Molecular biology
- Thrusday: 2 hours of Chemistry
- Friday: 8 hours of procrastination
- Saturday: 2 hours of Physics

It's been proven that this strategy helps with connecting similar concepts together but from a different angle/perspective. This effect is 404 not found in the conventional learning technique "blocked practice" where students focus on one subject at a time. It's advised to make the effort of finding links between the subjects to increase memory retention.

So far in the scientific community, interleaving has been found to work for math, sports, and category learning. *mind blown*

Okay, let's recap:
1. Choose a couple of subjects that you think might be linked together in some way
2. Schedule your study sessions
3. Learn enough during each session to a point where you feel you've covered some ground
4. Switch up between those ideas and concepts to stregthen them
5. Repeat.

You want more benefits? You greedy beautiful human!
Interleaving has the potential to enhance your problem solving skills, skills of categorization, and long-term memory retention.
I'm sold and so should you!

Praise my comedic tendencies later but right now, school's in session and I'm here to help you learn better.

Let's start slow:
What's the word for the strategy you're most-probably currently using? Cramming.
What is spacing? Not Cramming.

Cramming is called "massed practice". It's when we try to retain a massive amount of information in roughly one single lengthy session.

Spacing is also referred to as "Distributed practice". It's the act of dividing the information to be retained on several comfortable intervals. By comfortable I mean enough for the brain to process and retain the previous information before adding the next bunch.

Want to know something reall cool *the nerd within me is ecstatic*: the Spacing effect enhances long-term retention and the survivial of new neurons.
Okay story time.
There was this particular study where researchers had 2 groups of students learning Spanish.
Both groups were allocated the same amount of study time (8 hours), except that the first group studied for 8 hours straight, while group 2 divided their 8 hours into 2 sessions of 4 hours each. Each session had a month interval inbetween.
Are you ready for the punchline? So, they researchers tested the 2 groups 8 YEARS LATER!! and guess what? *drum rolls* group 2 performed 250% better than group 1.

What are you waiting for? Start spacing.

You've got exams tomorrow, don't you?
You want to procrastinate, don't you?
Why am I stalling? Let me get straight to the point. You want to get out of this with the minimum amount of damage possible so you can live for another semester.
I got you.

The generation effect, and no, it ain't about your family tree.
It's the simple act of forcing your mind to generate information instead of reading the information beforehand.

Still couldn't get it? 🤓
Here's how to execute it: don't study. Pick an exam. Any exam. Don't worry, I'll wait. Alright, now force yourself to generate answers to the questions.
Here's the thing, your brain is now more prone to rememebering the information you got wrong.

You're mesmerized, aren't you? 😭
This works in conjuction with the "hypercorrection effect".
Another effect? Calm down, it's as easy as its predecessor.
According to Duke University Library "The hypercorrection effect refers to the finding that high-confidence errors are more likely to be corrected after feedback than are low-confidence errors".

Sadly, if the feedback to high-confidence errors is not retained, those errors are prone to come back within the span of a week.
So, maybe cramming 3-4 days before exams isn't that bad after all? 😅

I'm sure you want to thank me by now. See, we're bonding already.
