Ever wonder what my "real" job is 👨🔬? In a recent study we studied the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine💉. This is one of the oldest and widely used vaccines. It protects against tuberculosis, but surprisingly also reduces risk for various other infections. We used BCG to induce “trained immunity” in volunteers and observed vastly different responses. Check it out here: www.cell.com/immunity/fulltext/S1074-7613(23)00536…
Very different from what I do on this channel, but was excited about it, so wanted to share 😊
Have a great day y'all!❤️

Updates:
- Currently testing Polar Vantage V3 (I'll try to get a first video out this weekend)⌚️!
- Also testing Garmin Vivoactive 5 and Amazfit Balance
**I would like to ask for specific feedback!** I've been thinking about making some TQS merch (stickers, mugs☕️, caps🧢,...). Spent some hours last night making some designs, what do you think? Would this be something you would consider getting, and what kind of product would you like?
Also been considering making a Patreon, since things have been getting quite expensive lately... Would this be something you would consider joining, and what rewards would you like?
PS. Update: working on Mi Band 8 international video now. Started analyzing Venu 3 data, and collecting data with Pixel Watch and Vivoactive 5. Hoping to get my hands on the new Vantage V3 soon😅, anyone have contacts at Polar ;-) ?
If you were planning to buy an Oura Ring💍 and want to save some money 💵(40 euros/dollars), Oura sent around discount links to all current members. I have two rings, so here are my two codes (max 3 people can use each link):

I need YOUR help! Well, the help of some of y’all. 🫵🏽
As you know, I want to make the best videos possible 💪. But, one limitation of my testing is that most of it is done just on me: a light skinned skinny male. It would be great to include data from other people in my comparisons. That’s why I would like to ask if anyone would be willing to share your heart rate data with me, so I can include this in my videos. ❤️
If you want to help, you need two things:
1. One or more smartwatches or health trackers ⌚︎
2. An ECG chest strap 💓
I will use the ECG chest strap as the reference, and see how closely the smartwatch/health tracker matches this data. This means you need to wear both devices during your exercises, and you need to be okay with me using this data (anonymously) for videos.
As a first step I would like to ask about ~5 of you to test out the system I am creating to share your data with me. If you would like to help me, send me a message via my website:
www.robterhorst.com/contact
I hope to get data from many people, for many watches and many types of workouts, to provide you with the best possible overview of heart rate accuracy!
I'll share a public link to share your data with me once the data sharing system is finalised.
Thanks in advance and have a great weekend!
Paxlovid rebound... After releasing a video yesterday on which devices could detect my COVID-19 infection (https://youtu.be/_efCMWXcB8E) , I turned antigen-positive once again, despite being PCR-negative for some days 😅. I am likely experiencing Paxlovid-rebound, which can manifest as a resurgence of positive COVID-19 tests and/or symptoms after being negative because of Paxlovid treatment. Hopefully I'll be rid of this virus and the symptoms "for good" soon. Of course, as always, please talk to your doctor before you decide on any medications yourself. Just wanted to share my experience. Have a great day!
Looking for a scientific view on wearables? Look no further! My name is Rob, and I am a scientist who is into all sort of wearables, but wants to make sure they are accurate. On this channel, I test different devices, and see how I can use them to improve my life.
I am life-logging and quantifying everything about my body, mind and surroundings. My measurements take more than 11 hours a week and include a weekly brain MRI, sleep EEG and gut microbiome composition. I am quite possibly doing the ultimate "quantified self". As a scientist, I specialise in biological informatics, which means I write computer programs to analyse data. I now use these skills to learn more about myself and I try to improve my life.
On this channel, I describe the whole process, why I do it, and what I have learned while doing it.
