Congratulations to one of our runners up for the 2026 Mid-Career Researcher Prize, Martino Franchi (@MVFranchi.bsky.social)! Martino's review will focus on the physiological adaptations to hypo-gravity and muscle disuse and the role of exercise countermeasures ✍️

Age isn’t a limit — it’s a starting line! Exceptional physiological profile behind the 80+ world-record holder in the 50-km run. @frontiersin.bsky.social Thanks to Genud Toledo and the entire TrajectorAGE team @SPorcelli @mvfranchi.bsky.social @JulianAlcazar www.frontiersin.org/journals/phy...

A 92-yr-old retired science teacher breaks sprinting world records. Her muscle cells look like that of someone a fraction of her age. How does she do it? Read more about APS members' work in @washingtonpost.com: ow.ly/qHC250WRmEX @MVFranchi.bsky.social #ISpyPhysiology 🧪
