Looking for an extended leave/sabbatical in a French medieval village? As many of you know, we have a beautiful 600 year old manor house in the small hamlet of Noyers-sur-Serein in Burgundy, France - around 2 hours from Paris by car or train and 1 hour from Dijon. This village of 500 people is one of France's finest, and it is full of artists and artisans, every house in the walled town is medieval, the pace of life is exactly what you would seek to get away to a calm, quiet place to reboot and recharge - a perfect place for a sabbatical leave, an artist residency, somewhere to unwind and feel creative again. We have fixed everything up to rent it out to anyone looking for this type of getaway. It's an amazing place both in summer, by the pool, or in winter in front of the three open fire places! Keep this magical place in mind for your next extended vacation/sabbatical leave and contact me for information. One month or ore preferrred, but shorter stays are also possible.

Last workout in Brussels!

Shame! Shame! Brussels! Your gym floors look like your streets! Tidy yourself up a bit!

You can literally decide at any moment, to lock the hell in to something wholesome and change your life in just a few months.

Benefit of staying at NH Collection hotel Brussels is the free 24h access to the Basic Fit gym downstairs.

Jet lagged yes. But I get to spend a full week hearing Europe’s best scientists describe their cutting edge ideas for the next decade. Pretty amazing to be part of it!

Belgian breakfast at 4:30am. Has the essentials for a workout. Coffee. Psychotic. French Fries. 🤷‍♂️

Belgium. 4am. Gym first! 10x10 arm workout whatever I can fit into this tiny hour before long haul work meetings.

No gym today. Breakfast at the airport and on my way to Belgium. ✈️

Work life balance Singapore! 🤩😍🤩

Chest day

Big proposal submitted! Coffee tonic with Gaston, looking for new people to bite. Then personal trainer workout and haircut. Tomorrow I head out to Europe for an evaluation panel.

While I’m posting exercises and food all day, I’ve been even busier putting together a few research programs about to launch. We’re going to be doing some really cool things in vaccinology. But until we get the contracts signed, here I am just coming out of a shoulder workout in between writing tasks. Move your brain and body whenever you can!

Lunch. Char Siew and roasted pork noodle. Shrimp dumpling soup. Chicken rice. Side of chicken livers. Imperial egg. 🤩
