music monday #2: the medicine modifier.

goooooood afternoon, nerds! how were your weekends? we hope they were just as classy as you! i had a mini trip to salt lake city for the 27^th annual north american cystic fibrosis conference where i went wearing my super trendy microbiology researcher hat & presented my current research project on antimicrobial peptides. (i know… that makes most of you yawn…) so while most of the lectures i attended consisted of discussions about antibiotic resistance, gut/lung microbiome & pig/ferret models, i was actually able to make it to some nutrition seminars & roundtable discussions! while the diet required for a CF patient is much different than what’s recommended for a healthy person, it was crazy informative! your nutrition effects pretty much every aspect of your life, your quality of life & even how long you’ll be able to enjoy life. i met so many amazing people (nutritionists, dieticians & fellow researchers), which made me even more hyped up for TFN & i can’t wait to one day work in a clinical nutritional setting.

ANYWAY! enough of the tangents… you’re here for music, so let’s get cracking! to us, music evokes an emotion. a memory. a feeling. therefore, some songs we suggest may work for us, but not for you. a certain song may have been on repeat during a specific part of our lives, so it holds a much deeper & stronger meaning to us & in return, it pushes us to push ourselves to run that extra mile. today, we’re suggesting a remix of a song that our dance studio (Studio 19 Dance Complex) has used over the past year at competitions across the country. not only is the routine alone simply breathtaking, the song haunts you & the two of them together makes the hair on your arms stand on end (we DEFINITELY suggest you watch the dance here). we love the song alone, but it doesn’t really get your blood pumping to get those legs moving. but luckily, thanks to the chainsmokers, they’ve remixed the song & it’s now at the top of our “run like the wind” playlist. so, let’s take a listen & let it take you away!


keep studying, perky pupils!
