I asked chatGPT to make a video: A 2-minute YouTube video for teenagers explaining what mitochondria are, what they do and why they are special (e.g. own DNA, inherited from mother, bacterial origin).

New research shows the heavy toll PhD studies take on mental health, with a 40% rise in psychiatric medication by the fifth year. It's time to address the doctoral students' pressure and prioritize their well-being.

Completed my first 100 km trail ultramarathon yesterday finishing on the podium in 3rd place. It was one of the toughest challenges I've ever experienced. I'm no olympian but amazed how our #mitochondria can power us beyond what we think our bodies can do strava.app.link/sWsXdAQbNLb
