Excited to share that our article examining the presence and metabolomic profile of small EVs derived from individuals with different exercise training histories is now available (open access) in @JPhysiol physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

New publication: Using data from nearly 94K distinct lifters across 7K+ International Powerlifting Federation competitions (>1M individual lift attempts). We developed sex-specific predictive models to understand how jump size affects the likelihood of a successful lift.

@Darragh_Ian, Brendan Egan (@dcu_shhp) Sarai Martinez-Pacheco and @lodrisc1 (@TCDPharmacy) show how functional assays reflective of cancer hallmarks in BT-549 cells are not impacted by media supplemented with exercise-trained plasma! 📜buff.ly/4c1AhPW

@ConorCantwell @DrTSuchomel @taber85kg Congratulations Conor!

Published Author ✅ Great to get our first AEL paper out today. Lots more to come from this research group in the near future

Top project with a Top Supervisor

@MarkGermaine @bet365 Take it as a compliment

Gravity explained in simple terms

Vaccines are great. Here are some examples. Polio: after the vaccine came out, polio in the U.S. was quickly eradicated.

@Darragh_Ian, Brendan Egan (@dcu_shhp), @NiamhMcNamee4, @RoisinDaly__, @SaraiMrtnez and @lodrisc1 (@TCDPharmacy) show how to separate small extracellular vesicles vary in people with different exercising history! 📜buff.ly/46yWZfp

As always, grateful to our collaborators @lodrisc1 & @SaraiMrtnez - without whom this work would have been (quite literally!) not possible

The final study from my PhD entitled 'Functional assays reflective of cancer hallmarks in BT-549 cells are not impacted by media supplemented with exercise-trained plasma' is now online in @ExpPhysiol . physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

@KFrohna People are the same about Impact Factor

What do people think about these top cited scientists lists? Feels like most of the year the community says "Metrics are not everything and can misrepresent your impact/contribution", but when the lists come out, there's big excitement. Not sure it's consistent. Thoughts?

A small commentary by myself and Brendan Egan, discussing some considerations for studies concerning the response of “exerkines” to exercise training now online sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Riding a roller coaster could help you pass a kidney stone. After multiple people reported they had passed a kidney stone while riding Walt Disney World's Big Thunder Mountain Railroad ride, a research team from Michigan State University decided to investigate the phenomena in 2016. They conducted tests with a model kidney and found that there was a 64 percent kidney stone pass rate for those seated in the rear of the Thunder Mountain ride. That number was just 16 percent for those seated in the front.

*Participants Wanted* Are you a male teams sport (Soccer or Gaelic) athlete? 🏃‍♂️ Interested in doing some lab and feild-based testing? To get involved or for more info just drop me an email or DM 📥 All RT's greatly appreciated!

Research Under The Microscope: @Darragh_Ian discusses his recent publication in @JPhysiol investigating extracellular vesicle profiles in differing athletic populations and how they compare to a recreationally active cohort. #dcushhpresearch @DCUFSH @DCU_Research

@David_synapse @SportsMedicineJ @DCU @dcu_shhp @DCUFSH @DCU_Research @ScienceSpinning @periodofperiod @FemaleAthConf @wiseconf @WISCongress Im very proud of you work-wife, champagne and kisses when i saunter into the office later

Our meta-analysis examining the effect of hormonal contraceptive use on adaptations to resistance exercise training is now available to read for free open access in @SportsMedicineJ link.springer.com/article/10.100… Summary of key points below ⬇️🧵⬇️

@MarkGermaine Horse those pre print reviews into ya mark

@CoenPM Thanks for sharing Paul!

New work from @Darragh_Ian on exercise and small EVs

This work would not have been possible without our collaboration with @lodrisc1 and her group, particularly los puta reinas @RoisinDaly__ , @SaraiMrtnez & @NiamhMcNamee4
