This week on Test Dummy, Jess takes the Theragun G3PRO for a spin. The percussive therapy device claims to improve muscle strength, flexibility and performance—but does it deliver? Teaming up with Associate Editor Claire Maldarelli—a seasoned marathon runner in training season—Jess digs into peer-reviewed research and speaks with experts to find the truth. Does the Theragun actually help muscles recover, or are Jess and Claire just experiencing the placebo effect? (This weird, wild, and wondrous video is a part of YouTube’s #stayhome and #learn #withme initiative.)

    I bought the G3Pro about 3 weeks ago. This massage gun has almost completely healed my plantar fasciitis. It was getting to the point where i could barley walk. No placebo effect for me. Worth every penny.

    The title is insensitive. REPORTED!
    The word, Test Dummy should be replaced with Test object. Dummy is derived from the word Dumb, which means, “The inability to speak.” (Deaf, Dumb, and Blind)

    ‘Don’t minimize language, People or their ABILITIES! Popular science!!!’ SHAMEFUL!

I Traveled 8,000 Miles For The Camera That Killed Polaroid

Nearly 50 years ago, the Polavision camera blended Polaroid’s revolutionary instant film with on-demand home video – and the result was a landmark advance in analog technology that would become a mystery of science and a winding international journey into vintage tech.

Because now, generations after Edwin Land bet his half-century legacy of innovation and the company he founded on the success of the Polavision, I need to figure out how to get the thing to work… and only one man in the world could help me.

I traveled to Vienna, Austria to meet Florian “Doc” Kaps – the man behind ‘The Impossible Project’ that saved Polaroid from the dustbin of history. With his guidance and his private store of old Polaroid video tapes, perhaps I would be able to record a modern YouTube video with my vintage Polavision camera.

Through it all, Doc immersed me into his world of analog technology and the philosophy behind his mission to re-integrate analog into our daily lives. We cut lacquer records, we felt the fires of an analog restaurant, and we spent too much time trying to resurrect a relic of the past – because technology, vintage and modern, is all about people.

What if you CAN’T BURP?!

Some people can’t burp… at all. It’s called Retrograde Cricopharyngeus Dysfunction, and RCD makes life seriously uncomfortable — both physically and socially. There’s an easy, increasingly popular medical fix that unlocks the power of the belch, and it’s actually changing lives. Popular Science: #medical #sciencefacts #science #scienceandtechnology
