Amazing fact from The Physiological Society Network Physiology webinar. If you measure 100 physiological parameters at 100 Hz for 1 day in 1 person, you’ll collect more data than there are base pairs in the human genome-and there are ~4 billion base pairs. 🤯 #NetworkPhysiology

For the first time, I asked ChatGPT to generate an image of me (for teaching purposes). Thid is the result. I’m impressed with some of the accuracies and also slightly insulted 😂 though I did ask it to make me look worried #chatgpt #AIgenerated #VirtualMe #WorkingWithAI

It’s Day 1 of our #ThermalPhysiology meeting @Bruneluni. Today, we’ll be exploring the body’s responses to thermal stress, beginning with the circulatory & respiratory systems with talks presented by Professor José Gonzalez-Alonso and Dr Pascale Kippelen.

The International Olympic Committee and others involved in Olympic sport should read this paper, understand the implications and act upon it to avoid all biological males XY or XXY competing against biological females XX

To my fellow educators: where you ever got the idea that we should teach young people that disagreement is an occasion for trauma that necessitates a "safe space" is a mystery to me. I cannot imagine teaching young people anything that is more dysfunctional and counterproductive.

On 9th May, 1945, Guernsey and Jersey, the only part of the British Isles to be occupied by the Nazis, were liberated after four years of occupation. We celebrate this each year, and imaginatively refer to it as Liberation Day. á la perchoine. #guernsey #LiberationDay2024

Unfortunately there are still some people around who think that blood markers of all sorts (from immune function to bone metabolism) are valid measures of fatigue in healthy athletes. So retweeting this review seems timely bjsm.bmj.com/content/50/5/28…

Sounds interesting-prevalence of certain sources of bias in exercise science research is ⬇️, but still not ideal. Can’t help thinking many issues could be helped if we did less research, bigger & better research, & did it together. #exercisescience #research

New video now up on my #youtube channel. Clarifying the (far too many) terms used to describe our lactate thresholds. What should (and shouldn’t) you call them? #exerciseintensity #intensitythreshold #lactate #lactatethreshold #sportandexercisescience #exercisephysiology

New YouTube video! A brief intro to exercise intensity thresholds/domains. People have asked for more content on this topic, so I’ve started a new playlist on it. Enjoy! #exerciseintensity #intensitydomains #exercisephysiologists #lactatethreshold #criticalpower
