@rebekah-jwhite.bsky.social@rebekah-jwhite.bsky.social → @bio-bex.bsky.socialCongrats on the first preprint. Curious what you used as the main healthspan readout in these worms — movement, stress resistance, feeding, something else?
Show PostI started planning this work just before COVID lockdown 1 hit, and then the experiments were run throughout my PhD. So, for me personally, it feels rather special to see this one in its paper form 😊 Please do give it a look if you can!
Show PostNew preprint out (actually, my first preprint)! 😊 Ageing in Pristionchus nematodes 🧪 We studied lifespan & healthspan traits, the first step in using these worms as model organisms for healthy ageing. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... #academicchatter #healthyageing #lifespan #arxiv #research

Show PostAm I doing an Edinburgh Fringe show? Why, yes I am! It is about HEALTHY AGEING and a bit of medical history. Come say hi on the 13th and 22nd of August! 😊 linktr.ee/bio_bex #AcademicChatter 🧪 @edfringe.bsky.social @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social @edinburghmedschool.bsky.social
