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
