We are about to start two studies looking at the effects of different exercise training interventions on the health profile of pre-menopausal women.
Details about the study and what would be required of you as a participant are provided in the attached posters.
If you are interested in participating in either of these studies then please email Luke Connolly ( ljc219@exeter.ac.uk ) to confirm your interest and request further information.
This study will provide you with an opportunity to get a free assessment of your health and a fitness programme (or just the...
A new study led by the University of Exeter has identified two major foraging grounds of the Mediterranean green turtle and recommends the creation of a new Marine Protected Area (MPA) to preserve the vulnerable species.
The researchers tracked green turtles from breeding grounds in Cyprus, Turkey, Israel and Syria to provide the most comprehensive set of distribution data ever assembled for the species in the Mediterranean.
The study, published today in the journal Diversity and Distributions, identifies ten foraging grounds, with two major hotspots in Libya accounting for...
Pioneering techniques that use satellites to monitor ocean acidification are set to revolutionise the way that marine biologists and climate scientists study the ocean. This new approach, that will be published tomorrow (17 February 2015) in the journal Environmental
Science and Technology, offers remote monitoring of large swathes of inaccessible ocean from satellites that orbit the Earth some 700 km above our heads.
Each year more than a quarter of global CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels and cement production are taken up by the Earth’s oceans. This process turns...
The Alzheimer’s Society has announced the launch of a new dementia-focussed Doctoral Training Centre at the University of Exeter.
The centre will support eight PhD students to investigate the effect of dementia on the brain’s neural networks.
Nationally, the dementia research community is one sixth the size of the cancer research community and Alzheimer’s Society aims to attract new people to dementia research from a range of different academic and clinical backgrounds, bringing fresh ideas and talent to help expand the boundaries of dementia science.
At the end of February, myself and two other University of Exeter students will be tackling the rain and snow to get as far away from Exeter as possible in just 30 hours! Sounds easy right? Just hop on a train, go to your mums house and have a home cooked meal? Not quite! The catch is that you cannot spend any money, we will be relying on our skills of persuasion to try and hitch a ride or hope that the sight of a girl wearing crutches will make drivers pity us and decide to take us on the ferry. We figured we may as well go full out and set our destination for Australia... Crazy I know...

A new study from the University of Exeter has found that viruses carried by commercial bees can jump to wild pollinator populations with potentially devastating effects.
The researchers are calling for new measures to be introduced that will prevent the introduction of diseased pollinators into natural environments.
Commercial species of honey bee and bumble bee are typically used to pollinate crops such as tomatoes, sweet peppers and oilseed rape. Fast evolving viruses carried by these managed populations have the potential to decimate wild pollinator species, including...
