Lucy Merrell, PhD

ARE YOU A PHYSIOLOGY/NUTRITION RESEARCHER? 🧐 Here’s a few take home messages from our standardisation tutorial lecture yesterday at #ACSM24 @ACSMNews which you won’t want to miss!🧵

Editor-in-Chief takeover… This account is usually handled by Assistant Editor & Social Media Manager @MerrellLucy, but I would like to let you know that Lucy passed her viva last week with flying colours 🤩 It has been a pleasure supervising the newly appointed Dr Merrell! - JB

A dream come true! ✨ Thank you to my examiners for a really interesting and encouraging discussion, and of course everyone who supported the journey. There are no words to convey my gratitude to you @DrBSteamjets, so as Tina would say… you’re simply the best! 🙏🏻

@ChrisKirk_ASP @DrBSteamjets @Gonzalez_JT Thank you so much! 🙏🏻

@DrBSteamjets @Gonzalez_JT @MerrellLucy Congrats Dr Merrell 🙌🙌🙌

Proud supervisor moment 😁 Huge congratulations to the new Dr @MerrellLucy, who passed her viva voce examination with flying colours yesterday. Thank you Prof David Stensel and Dr Ollie Peacock for examining her thesis.

@RNMarshallPhD Thank you so much! ☺️

@MerrellLucy Congratulations, Dr. Merrell 👩🏻‍🔬🥳

New paper from @CNEM_Bath in @JPhysiol led by @lfbradshaw Isolating the effects of carbohydrate and lipid availability on exercise-induced skeletal muscle signalling doi.org/10.1113/JP2898… (1/7) #exercise #metabolism #muscle #fasting

@DrBSteamjets @Gonzalez_JT @fkoumanov1 @jp_walhin @JeffBrunstrom @peterrogers @olyjperkin @RGAUK @dwarfsportDSAuk @LPUKOnline

A week ago I submitted my PhD thesis. I’m so grateful to everyone who has supported me over the past 4 years - what a journey 💛

Check out this #EPicks video from James Betts (@CNEM_Bath), as he chats about his article published in @ExpPhysiol, which focussed on physiological rhythms and metabolic regulation! 📽️ buff.ly/gpUtCi7 Read the full article here: 📜 buff.ly/rtm1OFd

Interested in physical activity interventions? Have you considered the effect of physical activity substitution? We examined this overlooked and neglected issue in our new paper⬇️ @CNEM_Bath …ubs.pericles-prod.literatumonline.com/doi/10.1111/do…

@MerrellLucy ...this was a real labour of love - I started accumulating these measurements shortly after my son Theo was born with #achondroplasia. Keep an eye out for @MerrellLucy's comprehensive lab study in this area, she is just writing that up now.

So proud of this one - @MerrellLucy published her first first-author original research paper today. Check it out here. doi.org/10.1002/ajmg.a… Reporting metabolic health markers in people with various restricted growth conditions.

My first-first author paper on individuals with restricted growth conditions is out now! 🥳 Wouldn’t have been possible without my talented co-authors, and support from @RGAUK and @LPUKOnline with recruitment and testing. Read the full paper here 🔗 doi.org/10.1002/ajmg.a…

New #GSSI SSE by @lfbradshaw & @DrBSteamjets : Skeletal muscle is a key connection, linking rhythms in behavior & metabolism. Exercise responses & performance vary according to time-of-day & the fed- versus fasted-state. full article here: gssiweb.org/en/sports-scie…

Thanks girls! @Rowland_SN @KatieMHutchins 🙏🏻🫶🏼

What a great time @DrBSteamjets and I had at the @LPUKOnline annual convention today! I was so pleased to share more findings from my PhD as the story of the data unfolds. Thank you so much for having us! 6 weeks to go until the thesis is due! 🗓️
