Each Monday, I curate and synthesize information from scientific journals, books, articles, and podcasts to share 4 thoughts, 1 quote, and 1 answer (like "Jeopardy!") related to breathing. It’s a fun, bite-sized, and practical way to learn something new each week.

Nick Heath, T1D, PhD (The Breathing Diabetic)
