Thanks to the amazing team from @UoS_Medicine and @MRC_LEU at @unisouthampton science and engineering festival #SOTSEF for a great day measuring grip strength and demonstrating how diet/exercise influences muscle health via epigenetics. There were many interesting discussions.

The serum small non-coding RNA (SncRNA) landscape as a molecular biomarker of age associated muscle dysregulation & insulin resistance in older adults: our @MRC_LEU @SouthamptonBRC data from @DrMarkBurton point to new interventions to promote healthy ageing @MyAgeNetwork

Excellent report explaining the need for high quality research into #muscleageing by @MyAgeNetwork . Lots of good advice for researchers to conduct high quality studies to combat this health issue #sarcopenia #ageing
Dr Pantall @BAM_Research said: "Muscle resilience is fundamental to important aspects of living well for longer. It was great to be part of the MyAge Roadmap launch. I shared our work to build research into practical solutions which might boost mobility."

Just getting set up for our physiology event to celebrate #PhysiologyWeek part of @physoc
“Measuring muscle” is just one of the many great activities we have today!
If you are at Southampton General Hospital, come and say hi!

Great to be at the @MyAgeNetwork roadmap launch yesterday! Personally encouraged by talking with @DunhillMedical @BBSRC and @The_MRC about future funding strategies for fixed term researchers…give us more time! @KclCRSD

A really enjoyable day and fantastic to see the outputs and roadmap produced by the @MyAgeNetwork. The great news is there’s more to come in the next year!

Prof Judith Phillips OBE, from the University of Stirling said: "It's great to see @MyAgeNetwork use a lot of co-production in the Roadmap.
"Social scientists can set the research questions, helping to build theory, develop relationships and evidence based solutions."

Thanks to @MyAgeNetwork for the invitation to speak at the launch of their roadmap this morning. A really important culmination of 2 years of work and chimes with many of the key messages of @physoc.
@awmackenzie from the @physoc said: "We're working with @MyAgeNetwork to tackle the broader challenge of healthy ageing and link it to government policy. Taking forward the challenges of the ageing population and impact of climate change."
Dr Kambiz Alavian from
@imperialcollege and the @MyAgeNetwork Management Group said:
"This is a very exciting time to be doing ageing research. We have many fantastic opportunities to make a difference in later life. We're ambitiously building capacity in the UK and abroad."
Gillian Richards said: "As a public contributing member, I have worked hard to help MyAge build on real life experience like mine and ensure the network's focus makes sense for non-scientists.

Prof Carolyn Greig, co chair of @MyAgeNetwork said: "We've got a lot from the MyAge Roadmap launch and all the work which has gone into it. We had great participation and stimulating discussion. Thanks so much to everyone who attended. "
Prof @Lord_Lab explained: "Today has made it clear how much can be achieved if we work together to keep our muscles healthy. Doing this we can help people achieve a long healthy life."
