Reflections from Paul Gilchrist on the history and future of adventure tourism and @OtherEverests

Last week, Dr Paul Fairbairn and Dr Becky Neal were in Paris presenting their research at The 28th Annual Congress of the European College of Sport Science 🇫🇷 Their presentations included research on Mount Everest & inorganic nitrate supplementation in people with T2DM 🏔️🔬

Fantastic to have Dame Lesley Regan join our Women’s Health in Dorset event, and share updates from our PhD researchers like Kate Rattley and organiser Rosie Harper focused on priority areas for 51% of the population through the lifespan

In 2022 we released a report highlighting the research gaps that relate to #ClimateChange & #physiology & how governments, civil society & research funders can respond to the policy challenges that the climate emergency presents buff.ly/3q4GqJ4 #PhysiologyChangesTheWorld
