Physiologist-engineer pushing the boundaries of human performance with science, data, and technology, also former @teamusa rower 🇺🇸

Last week, I had the special opportunity to spend time on the water with Olympian Robert Zagunis and Dr. @StephenSeiler. I am beyond grateful to have the opportunity to focus on innovating rowing technology and science at @usrowing leading into @LA28.

Margaret Hamilton passed away this past week, & I strongly urge you to read this article. I think it will shock you – because most of her work was never celebrated until recently. As a leader in her field, she pioneered recognizing software engineering as its own discipline. 👇

In 1992 Peter Ratcliffe received this rejection from Nature. Almost 30 years later he won the Nobel Prize for the same discovery. Don't lose faith in the things you believe in.

"While the two part computer science, sports science can be difficult times, it’s been a really cool journey learning to leverage both in this new kind of arena." @MollieBrewer, founding member of Women in Sports AI and Tech Club
On the Training Science Podcast, Mollie Brewer explains why domain expertise matters when working with large datasets in sport science, and how it helps tell a genuine new insight apart from a problem in the data. Full episode: open.spotify.com/episode/4nQ… @PaulBLaursen

In July, I traveled back to @leedsbeckett for graduation from @Carnegie_Sport. While I was proud to be graduating with distinction on the Dean's List, it was a surprise to be awarded the Course Prize for Contribution to Sport and Exercise Physiology and the highest marked research dissertation. Thank you to so many special people who supported me. Carnegie School Of Sport overdelivered. I will forever cherish my time in Headingley. I wish I could enjoy it all again.

Digital twins! "Charting the arc from the application of patient-specific heart digital twins to reveal substrate determinants of arrhythmogenesis to their translation to sudden cardiac death risk prediction and guidance of catheter ablation for ventricular tachycardia and atrial fibrillation."
🎓️ EDITOR'S CHOICE🎓️ 'Heart digital twins: A new paradigm in arrhythmia medicine' This article is based on @PhySoc's Hodgkin-Huxley-Katz Prize Lecture, which was presented by Natalia Trayanova (@JHUBME) at ‘IUPS 2025’ 🫀 📜 Read it here👇️ buff.ly/7BwAVGS

In at least one parallel universe, I would've trained in emergency, wilderness, and/or aerospace medicine to become a flight surgeon. Applied physiology in extreme environments.

Run for mayor of @CityOfBoston on this platform: Storrow and Memorial Drives become mixed surface paths for running and cycling. More boathouses. A few cafes. Bigger and better than Central Park. Taking ideas for additional improvements.

Rewarding to be on all three sides of it: athlete, coach, scientist. Still, so much to learn.

3/3 Research informs practice. Practice informs research. And the cycle continues.

You put your head down and work. You focus on solving one problem after another. Gains accrue exponentially. And then you lift your head up a few years later and look around, and you're amazed at what you've built.

Longitudinal continuous data + AI + human expertise 🚀
3x better at predicting the right cancer treatment when biology is tracked longitudinally. Continuous measurement is one of the most underutilized tools in medicine.

Congrats on the amazing 16-year dominance by GBR 👏 Proud of USA 🇺🇸🥇
Wow, huge shock at #WorldRowingChamps as the @BritishRowing PR3 Mix4+ beaten for the first time in 16 years! Congratulations to @usrowing for ending one of the longest winning streaks in all of sport

Today, I got the full 2-week, 50-page monitor report - pretty neat!

Garmin rowing FTP is typically 20-40% lower than cycling FTP, per Garmin's own guidance. Here's how rowing FTP and rowing VO2 max are estimated, and why they need a power-meter-equipped rowing machine. #garmin #rowing
