Delighted to be at UCL today to unveil our Blue Plaque for Ernest Starling. In 1902, Starling worked with William Bayliss on the discovery of secretin and coined the term ‘hormone’. Our Blue Plaques honour outstanding physiologists who have advanced the discipline.

About us
The Physiological Society brings together over 4000 scientists from over 60 countries. Since its foundation in 1876, its Members have made significant contributions to our knowledge of biological systems and the treatment of disease. We promote physiology and support those working in the field by organising world-class scientific meetings, offering grants for research, collaboration and international travel, and by publishing the latest developments in our leading scientific journals, The Journal of Physiology, Experimental Physiology and Physiological Reports (jointly owned with the American Physiological Society). The Society also runs events for the general public on how physiology relates to everyday life, and for students who may be considering physiology as a career. Membership is available for all career stages, from undergraduate level to senior level scientists.

The SaES team loved taking part in this super interesting The Physiological Society event organised by Lawrence Hayes! Featuring talks from our very own Christopher Gaffney & Kate Slade amongst others! So cool to hear about all the research happening at Health Innovation Campus, Lancaster University 🫀💪🧠
Evaluation Fellow within the Health Partnerships team. Supporting the evaluation of health services, technologies, and innovative ways of working, across all sectors.
I attended a fantastic research event this week at Health Innovation Campus, Lancaster University kindly supported by The Physiological Society. My research days in physiology were some time ago, so it was great to get my head back into this broad discipline for a few hours. Starting the event was Professor Neil Reeves and his innovative research using vibrating soles to enhance walking speed and ease of walking in people diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy through diabetes. Next was Dr Jemma Kerns exploring the use of Ramen spectroscopy as a non-invasive method of understanding bone composition. This could be implemented in primary care, speeding up diagnosis and access to treatment. Dr Paul Hendrickse highlighted the importance of resistance training to mitigate the typical age-related decline in muscle fibre size and composition. Dr Hannah Jarvis provided a fantastic example of how mixed methods research can be used to look beyond clinical outcomes and understand what matters to stroke survivors during rehabilitation. Dr Christopher Gaffney presented an interesting study demonstrating a reduction in markers of exercise-induced delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and increased fat oxidation during exercise following cannabidiol (CBD). Professor Aneta Stafanoska showcased an affordable, portable, non-invasive method of identifying neurovascular changes before symptoms of Huntington's disease. The event host Dr Lawrence Hayes discussed the findings of a mobile health app used to support pacing among people with long covid. 67% of participants completed the intervention and felt it had helped their energy-levels, despite a lack of significant reduction in incidents of post-exertional malaise. Finally Dr Kate Slade highlighted the stress response experienced by older people with age-related hearing loss during difficult listening tasks. This led to discussions around the potential for feedback mechanisms to modulate the effect of hearing aids. Thanks to those presenters, and the organisers Stuart Powers Jen Melling Warren Mortimer.

#OnThisDay in 1917, Sir Andrew Fielding Huxley was born. “As a lab based scientist, I am convinced that Huxley’s happiest days were those spent in the lab directing his fierce intellect to the challenges that his research, be it nerve conduction or muscle contraction, posed,” writes Angus Brown, in his tribute to Andrew Huxley. In this blog, Angus Brown (University of Nottingham) celebrates Huxley’s legacy and tells us more about the remarkable talents and career of the #NobelPrize winning physiologist.
