Our work in @JIDR_Wiley identified that people with intellectual disability possess shorter telomeres compared to the general population🧬 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11… We must do more to help these vulnerable individuals live long, healthy and meaningful lives 🙏☀️🌈

How fit do you need to be to protect your telomeres and promote healthy biological ageing? 🧐🤷‍♂️ Our recent meta-analysis published in @geronsociety suggests that you might not need to become an endurance athlete to benefit 👍🏃🚴🧬: academic.oup.com/biomedgerontol…

New publication led by A/Prof Allan Davie from AERR: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… We highlight the science behind the pyramidal training model and outline a strategy for implementing it to enhance endurance performance in racehorses! 🏆🏇

Exercise reduces the risk of several types of cancer and improves survival post diagnosis, but how? 🤷‍♂️ We discuss the role of telomeres and telomerase in our latest work @DrDeanMills @Bryan_lab_CMRI @unisqaus 🏃🔬🧬 journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.115…

I've just finished watching the Telomere Research Network Annual Meeting presentations. Great talks and plenty of things to think about moving forwards! 👏👏🤔 Thank you to the @telomerenetwork for sharing the videos🙏🙂

@SominskyLuba @PNIRS @PVCResearchUON @SJSpencerLab @prof_hutchinson Congratulations Luba! 👏👏🎉🥳

With a little delay, but the same excitement, sharing the awesome news of being awarded the Robert Ader New Investigator Award by @PNIRS. This truly means a lot. A huge thank you to my most supportive #psychoneuroimmunology mentors @PVCResearchUON @SJSpencerLab @prof_hutchinson

Telomerase is no one-trick pony! Not only does telomerase extend our telomeres, but it also serves several other functions relevant to #healthyaging and #healthbenefits from #exercise training🚴‍♂️🏃‍♀️ Find out more in my recent review in #Aging_Cell: doi.org/10.1111/acel.1…

@FZMarques I always found your feedback incredibly helpful @FZMarques I really appreciated the effort (after I recovered from digesting the sea of red tracked changes on my papers 😬😂) and make sure I pay it forward to my students 🙂🙏

As an academic, my #1 job is to teach-even if the focus is teaching how to do research This includes teaching students and post-docs to write about research Yes it takes more time to give feedback than to write it myself, but this would rob them of the experience & learning

Alzheimer’s disease large-scale gene expression portrait identifies exercise as the top theoretical treatment ▶️ >250 treatments: exercise & activity = #1 ▶️ Fluoxetine also scored well ▶️ Other + treatment: curcumin ▶️AD portrait resembles depression nature.com/articles/s4159…

Here is our latest work demonstrating dynamic regulation of key telomere-regulating genes and microRNAs after exercise 🐴🐎 This was a great collaborative project with industry partners and external collaborators @SJSpencerLab 👏👏

I simply can't resist adding this extra hierarchy level whenever I show this pyramid

@cyclingtips @system_complex 👍😂

No please, this cannot be real.

@HoyEventing A message from Michele Denham: “Congratulations Andrew - what an amazing feat! To be still eventing is inspiring, but to be the third best in the world is simply incredible! 🏇🏻🇦🇺🥈🥉”

We did it!!!!!!!!! 🥈

@HoyEventing Fantastic riding guys - congratulations! 🥳👏👏 Andrew Hoy, you are a role model for the Nation showing us how it’s done at 62! 🇦🇺😯🤯👍

@system_complex @Rohan_Browning What a legend! 💪🏃‍♂️

This kid is unbelievable, hats off for his dedication which shows here, fantastic effort 🇦🇺🇦🇺 @Rohan_Browning

@FZMarques 😲 You’re a machine Fran! I still don’t know how you do it. Hats off to you 🙂

@DrJoshDenham 😂😅 I still don’t drink coffee @DrJoshDenham 🥱🤪 Enjoy it, they grow up too fast 🤗

Day 2 of babysitting our 2y old goddaughter while her mum is in hospital👶🏻 I’ve slept ~4.5 hours/night 🥱 I now know the lyrics of baby shark & even have a choreography😂🦈 I learned doing ponytails are harder than they look 👧🏼😅 Hats off to all #WomenInSTEM mums, you rock 👏
