Fantastic to have the @DiabetesVic team at @Deakin today! It was great to hear more about their work and share some of the exciting diabetes research happening at IPAN, as well as showcase our amazing facilities. @DiabetesVIChief

Such a fantastic evening celebrating incredible research at our joint @heartfoundation and @DeakinIPAN event. Thanks to the Heart Foundation for supporting research over many years that continues to make a difference in so many lives. @Deakinresearch

Our latest study demonstrated a dangerous drop in incidental exercise for office workers with #type2diabetes during the pandemic. Incidental breaks in sitting time, standing up & taking a short walk deliver real health benefits #SitLessMoveMore baker.edu.au/news/media-rel…

@chris__askew @profjsalmon @SChealthnews @ESSA_NEWS @usceduau @NatFiniPhysio Sorry to hear you are laid up Chris. We certainly missed you. Get well soon

@profjsalmon @SChealthnews @ESSA_NEWS @usceduau @DavidWDunstan @NatFiniPhysio Many thanks Jo! Sounds like it was a lot of fun. Looking forward to “getting my steps up”

Mixed feelings. Thankful to be in good health and in good hands @SChealthnews. Disappointed not on stage for the “physical activity vs exercise” debate at #RTP22. Grateful to Lainie Cameron (aka Prof Quite A-skew) & Neil Smart for going above and beyond for “team exercise”.Enjoy!

In @NatRevCardiol, our physical activity experts including @DavidWDunstan & @neville_g_owen explain new ways #GPs, #Cardiologists & #HealthPractitioners could encourage their patients to #SitLessMoveMore to reduce their risk of #CardiovascularDisease baker.edu.au/news/institute…

Thanks @BrigidOConnell for featuring our OPTIMISE study in today's Herald Sun. You can find more details about this study to support #Melbourne office-workers with #type2diabetes to #SitLessMoveMore at baker.edu.au/OPTIMISE @DiabetesVic @DavidWDunstan baker.edu.au/news/media-rel…

The growing trend of working from home could be having a detrimental impact on our health. Experts say it's fostering lazier lifestyles, with a new trial underway in Melbourne hoping to convince workers to take a stand. youtu.be/4WiQW9Ti09c @jodilee_7 #7NEWS

@ASPActivity @ISPAH @narrowboat_paul Such an essential element - unifies the investments and clearly requires a systems approach. Tapping into expertise from other areas like smoking/drink-driving campaigns and applying evidence-based principles will be crucial. Tailoring messages for particular groups is important.

Listen in to @ISPAH #8Investments podcast on Public Education and Mass Media for #physicalactivity with @narrowboat_paul youtube.com/watch?v=aF8aVY… #ASPA EC member @DavidWDunstan what is your take-home message?

@rebeccahritchie @Judy_deHaan29 @PC_Dempsey @BakerResearchAu Spot on! Key being avoidance of prolonged periods of both postures. Frequent transitions
