Fantastic episode about our #ColdSleep study with Pitt to explain why hibernation may be a great asset for spaceflight! youtu.be/Cm00TFrmQRs?si=vCac…

As humans return to the Moon, scientists confront the dangers of deep-space radiation | Science | AAAS science.org/content/article/… So grateful to work with the AMAZING team at Pitt trying to understand how "hibernation-like" status impacts our bodies!

An outstanding & important collaboration for human spaceflight to the Moon&Mars - it’s also microbes! 💯 Enabled by @NASA @esa and data sharing, open science, and the OSDataRepo-Analysis Working Groups. As Astra! @mason_lab @NASAAmes @NASAScience_ @NASAAdmin @GeorgeAlderman_ @NASASpox @rodcoutalmeida
Delighted to see this Perspective Biofilms: from the cradle of life to life support published in @Nature_NPJ: lnkd.in/d89c_cqm A genuinely collaborative #OpenScience NASA GeneLab/OSDR - Microbes AWG With support from @ucddublin @NASAGeneLab @esa ucd.ie/research/news/2026/th…

On the ferry back and just incredibly grateful for @NASA @BrookhavenLab our wonderful #LunarLiving team, Mags, Jim and our INCREDIBLE BLAF ladies. Good science always makes me so happy. I’ll be back soon for more radiation and space studies

A study at @BrookhavenLab is usually exhausting (especially with 100 animals at once), but oh so rewarding. I love this place. #LunarLiving

Even in a galaxy far, far away, astronauts would face challenges surrounding the effects of #microgravity. Recent studies explore its impact on #muscle health and how sex-based differences play a role in musculoskeletal loss. #Maythe4th #AuroraScientific aurorascientific.com/worth-t…

David is about to start his last semester with us before getting his Masters degree. Thanks to our talented designer @Niniosaurio he now has a super logo for his project ! StrongER, studying the link between muscle function strength and estrogen receptor. #AdAstra @M2BLab

Dozens of students from multiple departments in the College of Health Sciences showed off their dynamic research projects on such topics as PTSD, augmented reality, muscle function, LGBTQ health, opioid use disorder and many more during a student research forum April 24.

I am searching for a postdoc to join us in Padova from the summer! If you like muscle imaging (with muscle ultrasound experience) and neuromuscular/exercise physiology, drop me a line. Background in Physiology/Biomed Eng/Sports Science/Biology? 📨[email protected]
PRIN, again! 🥰 with Francesca Sylos-Labini (Roma Tor Vergata University) we have been awarded a grant from the Italian Ministry of University & Research (Projects of Relevant National Interest -PRIN)!! I simply love this project - can't wait to start! We will be hiring soon 🤩
