I think #stormchips originated in 2014 and the term was coined by Stephanie Domet on CBC in Nova Scotia. As It Happens theglobeandmail.com/amp/life/food-…

It was wonderful to attend convocation Dalhousie University and see my most recent PhD student receive his degree Dalhousie Pharmacology. IRL. Well deserved Stefan Heinze-Milne

Our new systematic review/meta-analysis - led by Stefan Heinze-Milne - shows that frailty, measured with laboratory-based frailty index tools, is associated with mortality and other adverse health outcomes, with no clear male-female difference in frailty scores! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36626319/

Molecular studies use reference genes that involve enzymes and proteins that regulate key physiological processes. We show that the expression of many common reference genes in mouse skeletal muscle is modified by age, sex, and frailty. Well, duh. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36509213/

Thanks for visiting Halifax Lamming Lab. Fabulous seminar and lots of great discussions.

Delighted by this opportunity to showcase our work at this outstanding meeting.

Our new editorial in Aging. This paper highlights the fact that many commonly used reference genes are modified not only by age, but by sex and by the degree of frailty.

A great loss indeed.

Excited to be part of the first Geroscience conference in Canada in my beautiful home town, Montreal.

Our new work shows chronic exposure to low testosterone increases late inward sodium current in the aging heart by increasing expression of NaV1.8. This can help explain arrhythmias in older men. Great to work on this with the Rose lab in Calgary. Robert Rose, PhD, FHRS

Congratulations to Dr. Kim Brooks on this appointment as President of Dalhousie - exciting times ahead. Kim Brooks

Us too. The emergency line is busy. Very worrying.

It is an amazing honour to win the APS award from AJP-Heart and Circ

Thanks to APS Publications for this honour. Also, a big thank you to the Editors and Reviewers for their thoughtful input into our work.

Congratulations CapIntel Founder and CEO. James Rockwood

This is a great opportunity to showcase new work on cardiac aging.

Thanks for the generous comments Sofie. It was a real honour to be invited to speak at the First Canadian Conference on Geroscience.

dal.ca/news/2024/03/1… We are thrilled to have received this major infrastructure grant supported by the Canadian Foundation for Innovation and Research Nova Scotia to purchase cutting edge equipment for research into heart disease in aging and frailty.

Our new review in Cell Metabolism on the relationship between Metabolism and Frailty is now live! Discusses how maintaining a youthful metabolism in later life can help prevent frailty. Congrats to co-authors including Alice Kane Manish Mishra authors.elsevier.com/a/1ivyQ5WXUlWj…

Always a great pleasure to work with Rob Rose Robert Rose, PhD, FHRS exploring how frailty sets the stage for late life heart diseases like HF and AF.
