Dr Kate Edwards

9 mths ago I left Tassie for a postdoc at @UConn with the brilliant @ecleelab. Today I’m lucky enough to be in a George Brooks lecture after a great few days with the team at #APS2025. So much to learn! Stay tuned for super interesting resilience, heat, and multi-omics research!

Surprised and delighted to receive a Letter of Commendation from the Deputy Vice-Chancellor Education @UTAS_ Huge thanks to my lovely students who were an absolute pleasure to teach and who took the time to provide feedback.

@Brads_science @LifeSciWestmin Thanks for having me! Was great to see you, hopefully an in-person catch up isn’t too far away…

Great to have @LifeSciWestmin alumn @KH_Edwards back today for our Sports Nutrition MSc students. Sacrificing sleep to give a lecture at 2am Tasmania time on her research into gut damage markers and endurance exercise, as well as her journey to where she is today
