The bites, and who writes them

The science your body runs on, in small enough doses to actually keep.

I make short explainers — the kind that start as a 60-second TikTok and turn out to need more room. One subject, one obsession: how the human body actually works, explained as a mechanism instead of a vocabulary test.

From a single broken gene to why a fever helps, the goal is the same — take something that sounds like memorization and show the machinery underneath it.

The point of view: curiosity beats mystique. A real mechanism is more astonishing than a vague one. Every piece cites its sources and says plainly that it's an educational explainer, not medical advice.
