1. Excited to see our latest work in @natureComms - “Fibre-specific mitochondrial protein abundance is linked to resting and post-training mitochondrial content in the muscle of men” nature.com/articles/s4146… Led by @LizReisman, @javi_iup & @bluebirdi with @stroudlab Thread 🧵👇🏽

Looking forward to see new data about muscle NIRS in PAVIA in September 2026! Stay tuned for updates about mNIRS conference

I'll be at the @ecss conference in Rimini next week. Please come and chat to me if you have questions about potential submissions or an interest in serving on the editorial board of the NEW nature portfolio journal - Exercise Medicine and Health: go.nature.com/43yf11W

Cool resource to try and unravel potential molecular mediators of neuroprotection by exercise in Alzheimer's Disease: go.nature.com/43R9qoP

Some more cool single-fibre work from @atul_deshmukh1 and team go.nature.com/4li9qUO

Excited to announce that Prof. Zhen Yan @ZhenYanLab will be an assistant editor for the NEW nature portfolio journal - Exercise Medicine and Health: go.nature.com/43yf11W Please contact us about potential submissions or if interested in serving on the editorial board.

Exercise is a Mitochondrial Medicine that needs an evidence-based prescription to optimise outcomes: bit.ly/3WGl2H5

Excited to announce that Prof. Stu Phillips @mackinprof will be an assistant editor for the NEW nature portfolio journal - Exercise Medicine and Health: go.nature.com/43yf11W Please contact us about potential submissions or if interested in serving on the editorial board.

Free Zoom webinar from Prof. Nicolas Place next Thursday (5 June) at 1.30pm, Belgian time. Topic: Neuro- and intra-muscular adaptations to exercise: a translational approach.

Antioxidant supplementation blunted SIT-induced proteome adaptations, but it did not affect training-induced improvement in maximal cycling performance bit.ly/3FDIL5l

Please share this job opportunity to join our team: linkedin.com/jobs/view/4234… This post is related to the KETO-GENETIC Project: bath.ac.uk/projects/the-k… A flourishing collaboration between @BristolUni @CNEM_Bath and @imperialcollege funded by @The_MRC

Great to see the latest work by @alana_leabeater online: bit.ly/4juuJRB The Acute Effects of Compression Garments on Muscle Protein Synthesis Markers, Blood Flow, Performance, and Perceived Recovery after Resistance Exercise

I enjoy these types of case studies that challenge the extent to which cardiorespiratory fitness declines with ageing bit.ly/3SuYS8l A 76-yr-old female with a VO2max close to 50 mL/kg/min is pretty impressive. Nice work from @BasVanHooren & @MicZanini

Lots of male researchers expressing an interest in joining the editorial board, but so far very few females. I'm very keen to have a 50:50 split and encourage female researchers working in any fields related Exercise as Medicine to contact me or the journal directly.

New study questions the extent of no sex differences in mitochondrial content in untrained adults: bit.ly/45qsCL4 Nice work by @gillenjb and team

Excited to announce I've been appointed the inaugural Editor-in-Chief of a NEW nature portfolio journal - Exercise Medicine and Health: go.nature.com/43yf11W Please contact me if you have questions about potential submissions or an interest in serving on the editorial board.

My university has just announced six NEW research-focused Fellowships - for early to senior-level researchers (i.e., from post docs to full Profs). More info 👉 bit.ly/3GUKdkj Must have valid work rights in Australia. Applications close 11 June.

Super proud of PhD student @StephKourakis1 on her first author #redoxbiology publication: Repurposed Nrf2 activator dimethyl fumarate rescues muscle inflammatio... sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @CaraTimpani @victoriauninews
