A hot day today, one to enjoy my garden! Even school letting my daughter wear her t shirt to school……but with a skirt and tights and blazer still #youcouldntmakeitup #summersday

I am really looking forward to talking about our paper @slastill.bsky.social and discussing habits.

Weve been combining electrical stimulation of the spinal cord with other therapeutic modalities to improve function after #cervicalspinalcordinjury. This paper shows the acute effect of #motorimagery and tces to enhance function and neural plasticity. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Interested in exercise, physical activity, aging, health, functioning, and their interplay? Come work with us at the Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences & the Gerontology Research Center at the University of Jyväskylä 🇫🇮 Unfortunwtely, I'm too young in academic age 😭 #AcademicSky 🧪

Getting people #active can be challenging. In this paper, ongoing work by @alisondivine.bsky.social shows combining implementation intentions with imagery increases #physicalactivity. Great to work with Ally on this, more good stuff to come soon! bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

We're proud owners of the Athena Swan Silver Award! 👏 Hear from some of the people who have benefited from our initiatives aimed at transforming gender equality within higher education and research on our website:👇 biologicalsciences.leeds.ac.uk/biological-s...

Fantastic initiative using community spaces to deliver maternity care. Great work by @camillanykjaer.bsky.social and all the midwives and health professionals involved. Another great example of how the University of Leeds and the good it does in its local community #maternitycare #IWD25

Elon Musk is not the richest man in the world; men who live at home with their partner and children who love them experience riches he couldn't imagine.

A day of annual leave, we took the new van up to Bucken Pike for a walk. It was a bit muddy.

A new Leeds study has shown that reintroducing wolves to the Scottish Highlands could help address the climate emergency 🐺 This reintroduction could lead to an expansion of native woodland, which could take in and store one million tonnes of CO2 annually 🌳 Read the full story 👇 bit.ly/4hFeNvM

I’ve been reading about keystone behaviours and habit formation, self interest not work, I realised I do have them but hadn’t recognised them. My #yoga class on Saturday morning is one, it splits the week from the weekend. #physicalactivity

Hi BlueSky! We’re a growing interdisciplinary network started in 2023. Our goal is to bring together people from different fields to collaborate and improve heath and wellbeing in later life. We now have 150 members and have held 8 events (more to come in 2025). And we're happy to connect here!

Need to watch something to make you smile? Wonderful new video of our Dance On participants across Doncaster. Shows how research in @bioscienceleeds.bsky.social has demonstrable local impact. Dancing is all about emotions and motion! Watch the film (about 3 min.): youtu.be/OMn04Ha6Zgg

Becoming an academic does not negate economic origin. Poverty has a long tail, even - and maybe especially - in academia. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Fascinating new #interdisicplinary network. I hadnt heard of term polycrisis until a few months ago but think we are in the midst of #health and #ageing crisis. Interesting to see how this might be viewed as the latter can and should be seen as positive @reimagineageing.bsky.social

The Polycrisis Network is a collective of people in and outside academia working together to understand the interconnection of crises in the world around us. Join the network for their launch: 📅 Weds 26 Feb 🕞 3.30 - 5pm 🗺️ @universityofleeds.bsky.social Book here: www.eventbrite.com/e/polycrisis...

💃 Professor Sarah Astill @slastill.bsky.social led the research project 'Dance On' with Yorkshire Dance, highlighting its positive impact on health in older adults, particularly women in lower socio-economic areas. And Dance On is still going strong around Leeds. yorkshiredance.com/project/danc...

Our preprint of a cross over trial combining #tscs and traditional physiotherapy in #cSCI. Here we use functional and neurophysiological measures #TMS to understand recovery of function #neurorehabilitation #neuromodulation #spinalcordinjury www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

Interested in #EMG and #muscles synergies? In this paper we explore inter and intramuscular interactions across 2 tasks and ages using a Partial Information Decomposition methodology #motorcontrol #computationalmethods www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

This really resonated. Ive ditched my fitbit to just walk, and not worry about steps or if my physical exercise is light, moderate or heavy. Tech had started to dominate why I was active, and almost dissociate me from how my body felt when moving. One to ponder on... #physicalactivity #wearables
