Summary
Author Priya Parker explains how you can make your next gathering more meaningful. But first, you’ll learn about TRPC1, a molecule that promotes muscle health when it’s magnetized.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, you're about to get smarter in just a few minutes with Curiosity Daily. |
| 0:04.7 | From Curiosity.com, I'm Cody Goff. |
| 0:06.7 | And I'm Ashley Hamer. |
| 0:07.8 | Today you learn about how to make your next gathering more meaningful with author Priya Parker. But first you'll learn about a molecule |
| 0:14.1 | that promotes muscle health when it's magnetized. Let's satisfy some curiosity. |
| 0:19.7 | Recently a group of researchers discovered something that Ashley refused to believe when I told her about it. |
| 0:27.0 | Essentially, they have found a molecule in your muscles that responds to magnetic fields. If stimulated, they claim it can help |
| 0:36.6 | protect your muscles from damage as you age. I know that might sound |
| 0:41.2 | ridiculous but stay with me. There's some really cool science to back it up and I promise Ashley heavily vetted this story, right? |
| 0:50.0 | I did. Yes, shout out to Cameron Duke who wrote this story. We had a video call and just many emails |
| 0:59.1 | back and forth talking about it, making sure that everything was on the up and up. |
| 1:03.7 | And yeah, it's real. |
| 1:07.1 | It's wild. |
| 1:07.9 | Right. |
| 1:08.9 | And this doesn't mean you can run out to the store |
| 1:09.9 | and buy some magnetic arm then, |
| 1:11.8 | and it'll make you Superman or something like that. |
| 1:14.0 | Okay? That's not the takeaway. So I'll dive into the science and then we'll talk |
| 1:17.5 | takeaways. The magnet-friendly molecule I'm talking about is a protein called TRPC 1, super catchy I know. TRPC 1 has a small but |
| 1:28.0 | important job in your muscle cells. It's like a bouncer that regulates the |
| 1:32.2 | amount of calcium you have in your cells. |
| 1:34.2 | Calcium can only enter if TRPC1 lets it in. |
