Graduate Assistant | Exercise Physiology | University of South Alabama | Sex and age-related differences in vascular function and it’s influence on cognition
Thread: Medical advice I wish someone had given me at 30 years old:
At 30, I thought I was building a career.
I was actually dismantling a person.
Here’s what I wish someone had told me before the white coat, the night shifts, and the slow unmaking of a life:
In their recent study, Keller et al. explored sex differences in vascular response to occlusion tests. Their important discovery could pave the way for more personalized diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Very very cool investigation.
“…this study confirmed decreased microvascular responses in women and older individuals.”
Coincidentally, we have a Master’s student presenting very similar data during her thesis defense tomorrow 👩🔬
Oh btw the team was also responsible for bringing home some hardware!
We won the “Party Table of the Night” at the dueling piano bar!
Earned, not given.
This was a cool notification to receive!
Awesome team and fun project/data.
We continue to be very interested in why men and women typically (some exceptions) result in different NIRS-VOT responses.
Skeletal muscle fiber type or size?? Something else??
Arterial stiffness mediates the association between age and processing speed at low levels of microvascular function in humans across the adult lifespan

Acute bouts of aerobic and resistance exercise similarly alter inhibitory control and response time while inversely modifying plasma BDNF concentrations in middle-aged and older adults with type 2 diabetes

Incredibly proud of this rockstar undergraduate! She turned a SURF project into some really cool data and collected this @seacsm research award
Even tricked her into signing up to work with me during her future Master’s
