Dr. Dropset: Hello, and thanks for stopping by! My name is Sultan Ahmed and I'm a PhD student in the Molecular and Cellular Pharmacology program at Stony Brook University. I do research on different proteins involved in cancer in order to better our understanding of how they work and what goes wrong. Aside from science, one of my big interests is fitness and weightlifting. I've been working out on-and-off for about 7 years now. I know I'm not the only one who has read up on different ways to build and enhance my body. I've always found it important to understand the physiology behind why we do what we do for fitness. Informing those who invest time, effort, and money into fitness may help them make a more calculated decision on which routine to do, or which supplement to take. That's the goal of this blog, and hopefully I can help you guys get a better understanding of the science of fitness.
