Doctor gets to the 'meat' of a long and healthy life
Dr. Lyon is a board-certified physician and bestselling author of "Forever Strong," and she promotes the importance of a high-protein diet and resistance training through social media and on her podcast, "The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show."
Dr. Lyon is a fellowship-trained physician, and did additional education on nutrition when she completed a post-doc at Washington University in Saint Louis, "a combined nutritional science with geriatric training."
Doctor Rejects Vanity Fair's Protein-maga Connection, Saying Health 'Doesn't Have A Political Belief'
Dr. Lyon explained that she was frustrated with the misinformation online, especially around protein, which sparked her mission.
"I opened up my Instagram and there were individuals talking about how red meat was causing cancer and killing the planet. And as someone who has studied protein metabolism for years and also worked as a physician at the bedside of individuals and in nursing homes, I knew that the message that they were giving was... It's a matter of life or death."

As a result, she felt a "responsibility" to start her medical podcast, "The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show," where she discusses a variety of health topics with experts.
"My desire is to have transparent conversations with world-class experts. Who are actually doing the job of moving the science. They are not influencers. They are qualified professionals and that's what we need to hear more of," Dr. Lyon said.
Dr. Lyon argued that there is a "global mistrust" of healthcare providers and science, and she hopes to improve that through the conversations she has on her podcast.
"We have to bring it back to the science," Dr. Lyon said of the importance of having experts on her show. "Here are a lot of good scientists and there is a lot of good science. People just have to learn how to integrate that and understand it."

Dr. Lyon believes strength is the key to longevity.
"If you want to live long, be strong. If you want to die early, plan on being weak," she said.
Dr. Lyon describes muscle as "the organ of longevity," and to maintain muscle, it must be trained through resistance training.
"We don't have an obesity problem. What we really have is a muscle problem," Dr. Lyon claimed.
Additionally, she said that muscle is not a luxury but rather a responsibility, and concluded that the way we age is "up to us."
How to improve your chances of living to 100? The secret is being strong, according to Dr. Lyon.
"Weakness kills," she said. "Both physical and mental weakness."
Dr. Lyon will be on Fox & Friends on Tuesday at 6:50 am ET.Original article source: Doctor gets to the 'meat' of a long and healthy life

Fly, dive, repeat: Students' amphibious 3D-printed drone goes viral
Four Danish engineering students have captured global attention with their groundbreaking 3D-printed drone that can fly through the air and swim underwater, switching between both with ease. The drone has the potential to reshape search-and-rescue missions, as well as ocean research. The innovative machine was built by applied industrial electronics students Andrei Copaci, Pawel Kowalczyk, Krzysztof Sierocki and Mikolaj Dzwigalo at Aalborg University. It became an internet hit through viral videos showing the drone taking off from beside a pool, diving underwater, swimming around and then flying back up into the air without any help from humans. 4 Close-up of the 3D-printed drone built by Danish electronics students. Youtube/Storyful Viral The secret is in how the drone's propellers work. The blades can change their angle depending on whether the drone is in air or water. When flying, the propellers tilt to create lift. When underwater, they flatten out to cut through the water better and can even spin backward to change direction quickly. This smart design lets the waterproof drone go from flying to swimming and back again in one smooth motion. Unlike other similar projects that need complex moving parts to transform, this drone keeps things simple but effective. 4 Aalborg University students test their drone's seamless transition between air and water. Youtube/Storyful Viral The students built their creation as part of their final college project. They used 3D printing and computer-controlled cutting machines to make the parts, showing how modern tools can help students build amazing things. The team also wrote their own software to control how the drone moves and designed it so parts can be easily swapped out if needed. 4 The drone hovers above the water before diving in for another flawless swim. Youtube/Storyful Viral Associate Professor Petar Durdevic from the university's drone research group helped guide the project. The work has been praised as a great example of what students can achieve when they get hands-on experience with real engineering problems. What made this project really take off was the video footage. The clips show the drone smoothly moving between air and water from different angles, proving it can do this trick over and over again. The videos spread quickly across Instagram, YouTube, and tech news sites, impressing viewers with how seamless the transitions look. The viral clips typically show the same sequence: the drone lifts off near a swimming pool, smoothly enters the water, swims around with precision, then shoots straight back up into flight mode. While other researchers have built drones that work in both air and water, this Danish project stands out because it's simpler and more reliable. Instead of using complicated mechanisms that transform the drone, the team solved the problem with better propeller design that works well in both environments. 4 A poolside view shows the drone transitioning between environments mid-demo. Youtube/Storyful Viral Though still just a prototype, the technology could be useful in many real-world situations. Search and rescue teams could use one device to search from the air and then dive down to help people in the water. Companies that need to inspect ships or offshore structures could check both the parts above and below water in one mission. Scientists studying marine life could use the drone to follow animals or study areas where air and water meet. Military and security forces might find the ability to switch between flying and swimming useful for surveillance missions. The project has gotten attention from engineering teachers and robotics experts worldwide as proof that students can create genuine breakthroughs, not just classroom exercises. The combination of 3D printing, computer-controlled manufacturing and custom programming shows how today's engineering students can turn ambitious ideas into working prototypes.
