Hello! I am currently working on my master thesis in chemistry, where our project's aim is to find a chaperone to stabilize the PAH enzyme which is responsible for the symptoms of your disease. Before I started on the project, I had no knowledge of PKU at all, but after I started learning more of it, I was surprised to also find out how many people I actually know who is diagnosed with this illness.

How well is your local environment adapted to serve people with your illness? For example, if you are going to the shop, how easy is it to find food that is okay to eat by keturetics, or is this a knowledge you rather gather up by experience? I hear of some people who carry scales with them where ever they go, so that they can weigh their food before eating it - do you also practice this?

University of Bergen, Norway :) There is already some published in vivo studies from our department of biomedicine: Pey, A., 2008, J. Clin. Invest, Vol 118, p. 2858-2867

Do you have any local beer you think is worth recommending that the general public might be unaware of?

Hi, Roman!

I'm a huge fan of your show and have listened to it for a couple of years now! Yours is the only Kickstarter I've ever supported, just because of how much I enjoy the quality of your show.

One of the coolest aspects of your show is how I end up getting really invested and interested in things I've never been able to pay attention to before (e.g. egress, quatrefoils, shipping containers... the list goes on).

Do you sometimes get surprised over how interesting the things you talk about end up being?

PS: Thank you for putting focus on how awesome of an architectural style brutalism actually is. It does get way too much flak!
