At #BSRA2025 we heard about bone health and ageing.

Help out our friends at @royalosteosoc.bsky.social. They want researchers interested in osteoporosis & bone health to feed back about their grants programme & it's future.

That's a wrap on #BSRA2025. WHAT. A. MEETING. Poster were presented, science was discussed, runs were 'fun', awards were given, and networks were built.

See someone you know in our snazzy video below? Tag them and let them know!

. @techreviewjp.bsky.social story reports Putin & Xi musing about immortality through organ transplants on a hot mic.

As it broke, journalist Jessica Hamzelou was at #BSRA2025, where our members provided a voice of reason against the hype.

Putin says organ transplants could grant immortality. Not quite.

Other “replacement therapies” are showing promise for healthy longevity.

“When we talk about muscle ageing, we’re talking about male muscle ageing. When we separate out by sex we see very different results”

@andersonrozalyn.bsky.social with an absolute masterclass on metabolism, caloric restriction and molecular events. A great lecture with wide ranging data!

Good morning! It's day three of #BSRA2025, and we're getting ready for session one our last day.

After a fantastic society dinner last night (look out for videos and photos later) there's a few more coffee cups in peoples hands this morning. Can't think why...

How do we leverage increased public awareness of ageing biology to promote good science, not clickbait titles?

A panel by @drdavidcox.bsky.social, @dominicnutt.bsky.social, Elizabeth Mills, & @bradleyelliott.bsky.social explore how BSRA members can promote good science and what narratives work.

Ever seen a bear in a CT scanner?

Peter Stenvinkel of @ki.se delivering a tour de force through exposome, novel drug pathways and mechanisms, and a surprising number of models including brown bears, to understand ageing and drug targets.

And it's #BSRA2025 day two already!

A full day's schedule, from the 7am fun run, breakfast on arrival, and it's now session one. Starting today with Prof Dawn Skelton walking us (joke intended...) through research into walking and other types of physical activity to prevent falls.

British Society for Research on Ageing @bsrageing.bsky.social · Sep 4

Annual BSRA fun run to kick off day two of #BSRA2025. As we heard yesterday, lifestyle factors and the exposome influence lifelong health, so a quick 5 km before today's full schedule of talks is great to see.
