Congrats Dr. @TakeshiBarnes on a successful defense. Thanks to Daniel Moore, @JacobAllenPhD, and Ken Wilund for being a supportive committee.

The group presenting their work at #APS2025 related to sex-based anabolic comparisons (Gena Irwin), food matrix effects (@ZanZupancic18), and protein distribution (@TakeshiBarnes)

Free ASN/GSSI sponsored webinar. Great lineup and learning outcomes! Fueling for Performance: Optimizing Nutrition for Health & Athletic Success discover.nutrition.org/node/1374
The anabolic action of vegan and animal-based dietary patterns on MPS were similar during a short-term program of weight lifting. There was also no impact of protein distribution on the anabolic responses. @andyaskowphd @TakeshiBarnes @ZanZupancic18 journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/abst…
Congrats to Max Deutz for his successful PhD defense in @DNSatUofI, it was brilliant display. Thanks to his committee @JacobAllenPhD, Chris McGlory, and Naiman Khan for their help getting him there.

Congrats to @andyaskow for his successful PhD defense today, and thanks to @BenjaminTWall for his help getting Andy across the finish line.

Nice job @ZanZupancic18 at his oral presentation #Nutrition24

Nice poster from @TakeshiBarnes related to diary matrix manipulations and postprandial aminoacidemia

My favorite protein 'influencers' at #NUTRITION2024 bustin' protein myths @mackinprof, Dan Moore, Nancy Rodriguez, @BSinger10, and Yvette Figueroa #GSSI

Sports Nutrition and Human Performance GEM Forum: From Bro-science to Pro-Science - The Whole Truth... cdmcd.co/bRY34R #Nutrition2024 Great line up for our protein 'myth-busting' event at N24 @BSinger10 @mackinprof Nancy Rodriguez, Daniel Moore, Yvette Figueroa.
This was excellent! Definitely recommend checking it out 💪 #protein @Nicholas_Burd @theproof open.spotify.com/episode/4vIGOm…
New work from @KevinPaulussen et al. that shows acute microbial protease co-ingestion with pea protein enhances the postprandial rise in plasma [AA] in healthy males and females--still need to define their metabolic fate. @KCHillinois @DNSatUofI jn.nutrition.org/article/S0022-…
Higher Protein Intake does not Modulate Resistance Training–Induced Changes in Myokines and Cognitive Function in Middle-Aged Adults From @McKenna_CF @andyaskow @Nicholas_Burd et al doi.org/10.1007/s41465…
New work from: @McKenna_CF @andyaskow et al. suggesting that elevated baseline MPS, and turnover, might be reducing the anabolic action of resistance exercise/feeding stimuli in post-menopausal females @KCHillinois @AHSIllinois journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.115…
Congrats to Max Deutz for receiving the Division of Nutritional Sciences Toshiro Nishida Research Award

In today's #tbt article @Nicholas_Burd & @mike_delisio outline evidence to show that interactions between muscle stem cells and protein turnover facilitate both hypertrophic and nonhypertrophic muscle remodeling: brnw.ch/21wEv0e
