Craft beer of the month

To help you wash down the latest evidence in the world of exercise science and sports nutrition, here's a snifter from my recent indulgence.

Feb 2, 2026

Rhubarb & Custard

Brewed by Vault City Brewing (Edinburgh, Scotland).

Pastry sour.

4.7% ABV.

Once upon a time, the manufacturing process in the rhubarb and custard factory went haywire and spat out a liquid so sweet, so sour, so tremendous, that Vault City canned it, just so we could forever savour it's juiciness.

Access to education is a right, not a privilege

Equality in education, health, and sustainability matters deeply to me. I was fortunate to be born into a social welfare system in which higher education was free. Sadly, that's no longer true. That's why I created Veohtu: to make high-quality exercise science and sports nutrition education freely available to folks from all walks of life. All content is free and always will be. This nerd alert newsletter is part of that offering. Check out more free educational resources at veohtu.com.

Every day is a school day.

Empower yourself to train smart.

Be informed. Stay educated. Think critically.
