A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Oh good i remembered it roughly right. you happen to have a good layman-friendly source just laying around? id love a refresher. I don't usually outsource my searches but i mustve used the wrong terms earlier, cuz i keep getting bunk ass health scam sites
This website I found has a decent summary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidative_stress
Hey, tyvm :)
This may be a good source for it: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25663961-how-not-to-die
The book is about food, but mostly it talks about oxidation of the body and how various foods affect that, because that seems to be the main factor for aging and other degradation of the body. (TL;dr: eat a lot of broccoli)
I'm not an expert though, so cannot judge how accurately the science is presented
Thanks, I'm not either so this will help me a ton. Thanks!
