Join us at #UKSBM2020 poster session at 11:30am. @Jo_deKoning will present interesting #loneliness and #PhysicalActivity data from the @TheREACTstudy. @NIHRresearch @UBSportExR @Health_at_Bath

[The REACT study @TheREACTstudy]

Filming of the new REACT video captures participants still enjoying sessions after two and a half years! Enjoyment is key to long-term adherence.

So many holes can be shot through this Food Frequency Questionnaire. The least of which (though very important for me...🙄), just one category for chocolate? 90% cocoa surely differs in carb content from your Dairy Milk? 😋

[Georgia Ede MD @GeorgiaEdeMD]

Thanks to journalist Nina Teicholz (@bigfatsurprise) we have a copy of the Harvard Food Frequency Questionnaire upon which the "low-carb diets kill you" study was based (the actual modified version is unpublished). Note that meat is lumped in with sweets. https://t.co/h0wXoUsgSW

Here here! 👏 This is so important for ALL fields of science. Science is for people, animals and the planet. Not for pet theories and egos.... 🙄

[Panteleimon ("Paddy") Ekkekakis @Ekkekakis]

From our opening chapter in the upcoming monumental "APA Handbook of Sport and Exercise Psychology": Resist the deceptive allure of scientism. Judge exercise psychology not by its productivity metrics but by its societal deliverables.

Funded PhD project to work with me @UBSportExR @unibirmingham in an innovative #citizenscience project targeting #OlderAdults living in #urban places.

Nothing wrong with a cheeky conference break to gain some vitamin D...

Fantastic photographs by Mark Epstein at the #BSGManchester18! #photography #BSG #ageing

[Dr Jolanthe de Koning @Jo_deKoning]

@alexrotas @heavencrawley @PositiveAgeing1 Good points! Maybe it’s better to avoid categorisations on age all together!

[Dr Jolanthe de Koning @Jo_deKoning]

Let’s ditch the term “older adults” - it means nothing! Perhaps using age bands may be better. Thank you Angela Kydd, at #BSGManchester18 #BSG #ageism @PositiveAgeing1 @alexrotas

[Dr Jolanthe de Koning @Jo_deKoning]

Fascinating talk about #ageism by @hanaswift at #BSGManchester18.

Implicit -ve ageist priming = reduced will to live!

Important societal implications. #BSG @PositiveAgeing1 @ReadyforAgeing

[Dr Jolanthe de Koning @Jo_deKoning]

Very poignant! This describes my experience of the rejection of my PhD thesis at first submission. V difficult not to take it personally. Hard work did get it accepted eventually! #phdlife https://t.co/ohQPqp6KpZ

[Dr Rachel Winterton @RachelWinterton]

Interesting piece on academic rejection: https://t.co/dCpAZehaER
