Would Michelangelo’s David pass a looksmaxxing audit? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you’ve ever ventured into the fitness corners of social media, you may have come across influencers peddling the ideal of a “Greek god” physique. They may try and sell you supplements or programs to attain said ideal – or direct you to AI apps, like UMAX AI or Physiqmax, that purport to tell you whether or not you meet the standard. Looking to ancient Greek sculptures as the paragon of fitness isn’t new. In fact, bodybuilding as we know it may well have been founded on this basis. It’s ironic
‘Frequently fumigate the hen-houses’: how ancient Greeks and Romans tried to treat sick birds (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Since the highly pathogenic H5N1 bird flu was first confirmed in Australian wild birds in June, it has rapidly spread around the continent – and among different species.
