I don't have access to the article, but the ending of the abstract caught my eye:

>These findings suggest caution in claims and recommendations linking regular physical exercise to cognitive benefits in the healthy human population until more reliable causal evidence accumulates.

What do they mean by "the healthy human population"?

Does it mean that if you're already healthy, the can't prove that there's any added cognition benefits from exercise? So no depression, overweight, etc. included in the studies? Does "healthy" account for sleep patterns? General activity levels?

I've got so many questions, and the publisher's greed won't let me try to find the answers..

I’m not a doctor but my job entails a lot of communication through both text and visuals. So do what you want with my feedback!

It doesn’t matter that you’re comfortable sharing it. If you’re going to share it with others to introduce them to the concept in any kind of formal setting, you can’t use personal information. Not only is it highly unconvential, but it also draws the attantion away from your concept and towards yourself. I don’t think that’s what you want. You want the people to think «hey, this is a neat concept», not «f**k, this guy has had it rough».

The only way I could think of to incorporate your history into it is if you’re doing a brief and you start with your history/motivation, then present the concept with personas, and then circle back to how the concept would look for yourself. At that point the listeners would be familiar with you and the concept individually, and it’s easier to merge them without drawing the attention away from the concept. They will be reminded of your strong story and you show them how your concept can help explain it in an efficient and understandable way.

I like the idea of communicating medical information efficiently, but the implementation gets a hard pass from me. It doesn’t help that it’s cool looking if it doesn’t provide any additional value.

The scales aren’t standardized, there are no guidelines for what should be included, the emojiis takes all the attention instead of the medical information, the colour gradient doesn’t add any new information, and everything is given equal attention regardless of the importance of the event. You’re also using personal information which is a giant no-no. Use a fictious persona.

Not exactly. They take out loans to cover the loss because they've used up the cash reserves. The interests are only part of the losses.

That being said, the total cost of the Glazers' ownership of United has surpassed £1.6 billions when you include their recent sale of shares that should have benefited the club that actually paid for them.
