Cardiometabolic Lab at UNC

Excited for the #ACSM conference in Denver! Join us at the ACSM Non-Invasive Physiology Interest Group meeting tomorrow at the Colorado Convention Center. See you there! #ACSM2023 #Physiology #exercise -Alex Pomeroy, Exec. Team Member

In case anyone from the ACSM Non-invasive interest group didn't recieve this email overnight or if it accidentally went to Spam folder like mine, here are the details for next week's gathering. Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

Do you sit too much at work or home? We want to learn why too much sitting can be bad for your health and identify strategies to break long periods of sitting. Compensation provided. Study approved by UNC IRB, Study #21-3195. Learn more: researchforme.unc.edu/index.php/en/s… @leestoner

Our lab recently published the protocol paper for our ongoing clinical trial: the SWITCH (Sitting with Interruption and Whole-Body Cardiovascular Health) study. Read the full-text here: authors.elsevier.com/c/1gFUz5WqQgwf… @SirDrHiggins @leestoner @Emmacowley44 @Patty_paterson

Congratulations to @PaganPpagan for receiving @American_Heart Predoctoral Fellowship Award! The title of her project will be "Association of perceived discrimination and stress with arterial stiffness in non Hispanic Black Adults". @UNCEXSS @UNC_HMSC #healthdisparities #research

Catch us at @seacsm Annual Meeting! @leestoner @PaganPpagan @15laurenbates @SirDrHiggins @JakeCDiana1 @Emmacowley44

"There are certain parts I don’t agree with. Notably, a 'special bond' being formed from a 'selfless lab culture' related to availability out of work hours and expectations of immediate feedback. [While] at times this is needed, I think this is a very slippery slope to burn out."

The CML team recently read a great article written by Dr. Douglas Seals and published in @japplphysiol on early-stage academic career development in biomedical research. Here are some cool reflections made by the team 🧵 journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.11…

In his PhD, Nicholas Castro investigated lifestyle behaviors and cardiometabolic health in children. This new article reports that cardiorespiratory fitness has a particularly strong association with childhood obesity.

This year, the CML submitted a personal record of 28 abstracts for @SEACSM 2023 Annual Regional Conference, 17 of which came from undergraduate trainees. Thanks to the great work of our research team! @leestoner @15laurenbates @PaganPpagan @JakeCDiana1
