This workshop aims to examine the associated societal issues and considerations in geroscience, with topics including bioethics, social norms, consumer rights, and more. amecenter.ucsf.edu/events/nationa…

🧩 Thrilled to share that the latest episode of the Stress Puzzle w/ Jenny Tung is out now! We chatted about her intergenerational lifespan research (& collaborations!) as Co-Director of the Amboseli Baboon Research Project in Kenya + so much more! Listen: stressmeasurement.org/podcast/episod…


Join the April 2025 Biomarker Network Annual Meeting, happening in conjunction with the 2025 Population Association of America Meeting. Topics will include measurement issues, biomarker harmonization, collection and analytic techniques, & more. Details: populationassociation.org/paa2025/home

How can we move towards causal inferences about the social environment and health? Jenny Tung talked us through her lab's experimental manipulations with rhesus macaques to uncover how social status affects gene regulation in immune cells:

🏆Congratulations to @nbobbaalves & team for winning the UCSF Stress Measurement Network Stress Science Paper Award in Basic Science! I chatted with Dr. Bobba-Alves about the importance of identifying the cellular basis & energetic costs of chronic stress. Listen: stressmeasurement.org/podcast/episod…



🏆Congratulations to Tené T. Lewis & team for winning the UCSF Stress Measurement Network's Stress Science Paper Award in Human Empirical! I spoke with Dr. Lewis about links between stress experienced by loved ones (e.g., family, friends) & cardiovascular health. Listen: stressmeasurement.org/podcast/episod…


How important are stressors affecting close friends and family for one's own cardiovascular health? #scicomm Tené T. Lewis described her team's results emphasizing the relevance of these network stressors for women's blood pressure:


Results from a study of a digital mindfulness meditation program for UC employees showed significantly reduced stress, job strain, and burnout among participants, with higher app engagement linked to greater stress reduction. Read the publication here: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11…

🧩 A new episode of the Stress Puzzle with Megan Gunnar is available now! We chatted about Dr. Gunnar's research on puberty as a window for recalibration and more generally about calibration of stress systems in early life. #scicomm Listen: stressmeasurement.org/podcast/episod…


What prompted Megan Gunnar to begin considering that puberty may be a time for recalibration of stress systems? #scicomm In this episode, Dr. Gunnar talks about the benefits and limitations of drawing from rodent models to inform research questions + so much more!
