We are so proud of our lab members for all of their presentations and abstract submissions! It was great to see all of the research being done at Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine Research Day! 🎉🎉

Exercise isn't just important for preventing breast cancer. It's also crucial for breast cancer survivors. The latest #BreakthroughsPodcast episode features Siobhan Phillips, PhD, MPH, discussing the benefits of exercise habits for #CancerSurvivors. 🔗 spr.ly/6012OO2Vm

Learning more about the design of Fit2ThriveMB Exercise and Health Lab NU Preventive Medicine #SBM2023

Melanie presenting on the Fit2Thrive intervention “Effects of Physical Activity Intervention Components on Activity Goal Adherence in Breast Cancer Survivors” in the poster session at SBM #sbm2023

Post-doc, @JeanReading presenting her work, “Disparities in Telemedicine Utilization Among Oncology Patients During COVID-19” at SBM #SBM2023 Amazing work, Jean! 🌟

“A lot of people do this ‘all or nothing attitude.’” Lurie Cancer Center’s Siobhan Phillips, PhD, discusses wearable technology and increasing physical activity for #breastcancer survivors in this #Breakthroughs podcast: feinberg.northwestern.edu/research/podca… Siobhan Phillips

I am so happy to celebrate my first quarter with Exercise and Health Lab!! It has been an honor to learn from Siobhan Phillips and I am also so grateful for the peer mentorship from my fellow postdocs Kristina Hasanaj & @JeanReading and the graduate students Payton Solk & Julia Starikovsky

I would love to see you at my poster tonight (A148) so I can tell you about one of my dissertation studies! #SBM2024 🗣️📱😣

Amazing presentation by Exercise and Health Lab PhD student Payton Solk at #SBM2024 on preliminary effects of Fit2ThriveMB (mHealth PA promotion intervention in metastatic breast cancer patients w/ daily tailored goal setting!) on patient-reported outcomes and functional performance SBM Physical Activity Special Interest Group

Despite not showing statistically significant effects I think the trends are really promising and I hope this intervention is further refined and further tested! #SBM2024

Session wraps up with an emphasis by Siobhan Phillips that getting people to move more and sit less can be an useful and important public health target #SBM2024 SBM Exercise and Health Lab

Really important work by Exercise and Health Lab PhD student Julia Starikovsky on the preferences & interests of cancer survivors for muscle strengthening activity interventions. Knowing barriers and facilitators will only help us design better interventions to emphasize strength training! #SBM2024

Lunch with Exercise and Health Lab 💜#SBM2024

Such a great presentation from @JeanReading ! WCRF/AICR American Institute for Cancer Research scores were calculated to determine if there were spillover effects of the Fit2Thrive physical activity intervention (there were on diet!!) Exercise and Health Lab #SBM2024

Because I am a behavioral scientist I knew setting a strong intention and making a plan would translate into behavior 😅 Thank you Exercise and Health Lab for providing me social support! #SBM2024

A great night kicking off #ASPO2024 with posters from our EHL members Kristina Hasanaj, Julia Starikovsky and Jackie Alexander!

This analysis is exactly what I imagined doing when I applied to be a NCI T32 fellow (translating my EMA + PA experience to cancer populations to inform future interventions) and I am so happy to present my work at #ASPO2024, get feedback, and discuss future directions! Exercise and Health Lab

.Siobhan Phillips presents how the MyActivity study integrated a MVPA intervention into cancer care via the electronic health record using a stepped care approach Exercise and Health Lab #ASPO2024 The intervention increased MVPA by 35 min/week at 6-months 📈👟
