When #SFU Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology alumnus Lara Gastaldello was diagnosed with arthritis as a child she enrolled in research studies to learn more and help other kids. The experience of seeing inside her own body sparked a powerful curiosity about anatomy and #physiology. http://ow.ly/wwWO50OCkNO #sfubpk #SFUScience #MySFUGrad

Astronauts on the #InternationalSpaceStation continue to participate in the CARDIOBREATH study led by Dr. Andrew Blaber at #SFUBPK. The study uses the Canadian Bio-Monitor to examine the impact of space flight on #astronauts’ hearts & lungs. https://www.asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/sciences/cardiobreath.asp #sfuscience #spaceflight #space #physiology

#SFU's Institute for Neuroscience and Neurotechnology is leading the way towards developing an open science framework for SFU. Brianne Kent and Kelly Shen explain why #OpenScience matters: https://www.sfu.ca/dashboard/faculty-staff/news/2023/03/q-a--benefits-of-open-science-for-all-sfu-academics-and-shaping-.html #sfubpk @ar0mcintosh

Join the #SFU Institute for Neuroscience and Neurotechnology for a #BrainResilience Workshop, May 15-17. The workshop will cover what determines brain resilience, from cells and circuits, to social and cultural factors. Join us in person at SFU’s Vancouver campus, or online via Zoom.

#ChatGPT has been with us for less than three months, but it has already changed the game for many fields. Learn how #SFU instructors, including Leanne Ramer from #SFUBPK, are integrating AI into their lessons to teach critical thinking skills. http://ow.ly/wkpH50N5oSC #sfuscience #teaching #learning

Congratulations to #SFUBPK professor Dawn Mackey and colleagues at UBC Active Aging who have received $6.8 million in funding to study practical ways to counter physical inactivity, loneliness and social isolation among diverse populations of older people in cities. http://ow.ly/HoBj50MJwZ7
