Injury prevention programs work and need to be implemented more widely, we are failing the female athletes as I explain here. @ADHagstrom eloquently debunks the myth that injuries are due to anatomy. Excellent work by @teegstar

I had a lot of fun talking for the @RadioNational Ockham's Razor podcast - Listen in to find out what the Earth being bouncy like a vanilla slice means for us and #Antarctica. Thanks @teegstar for the opportunity! #scicomm #dessert #NationalScienceWeek abc.net.au/listen/programs/o…

Thinking of the earth like a vanilla slice - ABC listen

Beneath the cold ice sheets of Antarctica lies the dynamic deep earth. So what happens when the two interact? Today's speaker Niam is eager to find out.

Next time you're asked how much physical activity you do, also ask yourself how much time you spend sitting. Both questions are important! @DavidWDunstan explains why in this @teegstar interview & in this new review journals.physiology.org/doi/… @PC_Dempsey @AnaJPinto @DiabetesVic

Physiology of sedentary behavior | Physiological Reviews | American Physiological Society

Sedentary behaviors (SB) are characterized by low energy expenditure while in a sitting or reclining posture. Evidence relevant to understanding the physiology of SB can be derived from studies...

Having a thread about a stone age girl going viral and having a thread about the fashion industry going viral makes me want to do a thread connecting both of these subjects to talk about one of my favorite prehistoric articles of clothing: the Lendbreen Tunic.
