I'm good, thank you.

How about yourself?

I'm very well.

I thought I was just about to get soaked, but it's held off.

Got my steps in.

Yeah, I got soaked on the way home from work with the dog.

Yeah, she's now raging with me.

Yesterday, like, I don't think I've ever been this wet.

That sounds really weird.

But I dropped my mum's car back at hers.

And I was like, I'm just going to walk home.

And it was like pissing down. And she was like, I'll give you a lift and it's fine it looks like a passing shower it was not a passing shower so there you go no passing showers um okay this is scott i know what I should I should have known right So we've got a couple of interesting topics. Then we have some questions. And we also have some other questions from check-ins. So this morning, or maybe it was yesterday actually, but I read it this morning.

Hannah sent me an article from The New Scient scientist, which was about brown fat.

Well, actually, it was about CRISPR, which is the gene editing technology, I guess.

But it was about editing your, well, certain parts of your genes so that you would produce more brown fat, or they term beige fat as opposed to white fat,

which is like our normal white adipose tissue. Do you know what brown fat is?

I do, but you can tell me.

Yeah, I mean, I'm not, I'm no expert, but it's essentially, yeah, essentially, mostly occurs in hibernating animals.

So we have quite a lot of brown fat when we're young, and then we tend to have less and less of it.
