The BSRA congratulates Prof Andrew J Scott on being awarded a CBE in the New Year’s Honours List! His work on the economics of longevity has shaped how we think about ageing & wellbeing across the life course. A well-deserved recognition👏 #AgeingResearch #Longevity #NewYearsHonours

As we wrap up 2025, a huge thank you to the BSRA community for an outstanding year! From record-breaking meetings to new initiatives we’re excited for what 2026 will bring, including #6for2026 & continued support for the next generation of researchers. See you in 2026!🎄

Have you met Liz, our new Communications Lead at the BSRA? Hi Liz 👋 bsra.org.uk/meet-liz-ash...

🎙️ Ep1 of @briancoxtalks.bsky.social A Question of Science is out & it's on ageing research! As @statto.bsky.social says “The single most important thing… is to campaign for more funding for ageing research!” Here's how 👉 bsra.org.uk/donate/ #BSRA #AgeingResearch #SciencePodcast

I've just submitted my first UKRI fellowship application 🤞🎉meanwhile I've been out and about recently sharing early results of our research @nutritionsociety.bsky.social's SIG in Phytochemicals in Health @bsrageing.bsky.social and prepping for @icsasenescence.bsky.social Looking forward to it! 🔬🧪 🧬👩‍🔬

At #BSRA2025 we heard about bone health and ageing. Help out our friends at @royalosteosoc.bsky.social. They want researchers interested in osteoporosis & bone health to feed back about their grants programme & it's future. visit: bit.ly/47k6rr2 and have your say

Annnndddddd... That's a wrap on #BSRA2025. WHAT. A. MEETING. Poster were presented, science was discussed, runs were 'fun', awards were given, and networks were built. See someone you know in our snazzy video below? Tag them and let them know!

. @techreviewjp.bsky.social story reports Putin & Xi musing about immortality through organ transplants on a hot mic. As it broke, journalist Jessica Hamzelou was at #BSRA2025, where our members provided a voice of reason against the hype. 🔗 (paywall) www.technologyreview.com/2025/09/05/1...

Thank you for the award and for the fantastic conference. Really looking forward to next year! ✨

“When we talk about muscle ageing, we’re talking about male muscle ageing. When we separate out by sex we see very different results” @andersonrozalyn.bsky.social with an absolute masterclass on metabolism, caloric restriction and molecular events. A great lecture with wide ranging data!

Prizes time! 🎁 At our conference dinner the best posters prizes and Korenchevsky Prize for best ECR oral presentation at #BSRA2025 were announced. First up, posters. Settle in for a thread of some awesome science from our fields emerging leaders 🧵

Good morning! It's day three of #BSRA2025, and we're getting ready for session one our last day. After a fantastic society dinner last night (look out for videos and photos later) there's a few more coffee cups in peoples hands this morning. Can't think why...

How do we leverage increased public awareness of ageing biology to promote good science, not clickbait titles? A panel by @drdavidcox.bsky.social, @dominicnutt.bsky.social, Elizabeth Mills, & @bradleyelliott.bsky.social explore how BSRA members can promote good science and what narratives work.

Ever seen a bear in a CT scanner? Peter Stenvinkel of @ki.se delivering a tour de force through exposome, novel drug pathways and mechanisms, and a surprising number of models including brown bears, to understand ageing and drug targets. #BSRA2025

And it's #BSRA2025 day two already! A full day's schedule, from the 7am fun run, breakfast on arrival, and it's now session one. Starting today with Prof Dawn Skelton walking us (joke intended...) through research into walking and other types of physical activity to prevent falls.

Annual BSRA fun run to kick off day two of #BSRA2025. As we heard yesterday, lifestyle factors and the exposome influence lifelong health, so a quick 5 km before today's full schedule of talks is great to see.

Great to have @americanaging.bsky.social chair & @omrf.bsky.social Prof Benjamin Miller speaking on Metformin/exercise interactions data from in vivo and human studies, some intriguing data! #BSRA2025
