Inactivity‐mediated molecular adaptations: Insights from a preclinical model of physical activity reduction
Insufficient physical activity is associated with increased relative risk of cardiometabolic disease and is an independent risk factor for mortality. Experimentally reducing physical activity rapidly...

Years in the making… quite literally (aging studies are no joke). Excited to finally get these experiments off the ground!

I love this time of year because there are so many opportunities to celebrate with colleagues.
But I don’t love all the deadlines that fall at the same time. Forget about balancing things so work fits into the work week.
At least I have good coffee to fuel me while I wrap up this grant proposal!

Woohoo! Just found out we got a $50K pilot grant to further interrogate mechanisms linked to metabolic adaptations associated with physical inactivity.🎉

Someone sure missed me while I was at #IPExercise2024 the last few days. Great conference (as always) but I’ll admit I did miss the puppo snuggles while I was gone🐾

I will never truly understand the NIH scoring system even after participating in study sections. How can one receive nothing but praise under strengths in the investigator category, paired with “no weaknesses noted”, yet still only score as low as 3’s? Asking for literally every pretenure PI I know.

This guy is so weird. Panting hard after getting a 5km walk before the heat of the day set in & all he wants to do is snuggle
