Very excited to see that out paper describing the (surprising) finding that inorganic nitrate can worsen disease progression in diet-induced obesity, is the pick for this months APSselect for @AJPEndoMetab!!

Excited to share my PhD work investigating how nitrate impacts metabolism in diet-induced obesity, now out on BioRxiv as a preprint! 👇 Many thanks to @andrewmurray78, @julesgrif, Martin Feelisch (not on Twitter) and everyone who worked on this project

How much pericellular oxygen do cultured cells experience? For differentiated cells, greater oxygen consumption than diffusion through culture medium actually causes hypoxic conditions!

Beyond excited to share my first paper from my PhD @DPhaz Lab @IMS_MRL now out in @embojournal! Special thanks to Sam from @TVPLab and @dougall_norris for co-leading this project with me. We found that many cell culture models, despite living in 18% oxygen, are hypoxic! ����below:

@andrewmurray78 @julesgrif @PDN_Cambridge Thank you everyone! Particularly all in @andrewmurray78 lab and @julesgrif group (current and past) who’ve been with me every step of the way!

[Andrew Murray @andrewmurray78]

Congratulations to @AliceSowton - PhD passed with no corrections. Science machine! @julesgrif @PDN_Cambridge

[Dr Alice Sowton @AliceSowton]

Super work by the fabulous @dr_katieOB. So grateful to have been a part of this fantastic study and incredible collaboration between academia and industry. Congratulations Katie 🍻 great to see the paper in print 🥳

[Katie A O'Brien @dr_katieOB]

Super excited to share our work in @BMCBiology exploring hepatic metabolism in hypoxia. This is the result of a fantastic post doc experience with @andrewmurray78 and collaborators in academia @julesgrif @AliceSowton and industry. Huge thanks to all!

@timboydwholived Congrats Timmo 👏🏻🍾

[Dr Alice Sowton @AliceSowton]

Really grateful to @RankPrizeFunds for awarding me one of these #nutrition grants so I can finish off my PhD research investigating #lipids #hypoxia and #metabolicsyndrome

[Rank Prize @rankprize]

We have awarded 27 #grants of £5,000 to final year #PhD students in #nutrition and #optoelectronics whose studies were disrupted by COVID-19, and who would not otherwise have the financial resources to complete their studies. #phdlife #phdchat #Physics

[Dr Alice Sowton @AliceSowton]

After a great day yesterday, I’m excited to be speaking in the metabolic physiology session this afternoon about hypoxia, obesity and lipids in the liver. #FuturePhysiology2021

[The Physiological Society @PhySoc]

#FuturePhysiology2021 day 1 is over! We have an exciting mix of talks & sessions for tomorrow:

🏋️ Human, Environmental & Exercise Physiology talks
🧪 Metabolic Physiology talks
✏️ Career progression workshop

Don't forget to join the conversation on twitter! 😀
