Seacoast Sips of Science

Last night concluded our science talks for this semester! Thank you so much to our amazing speakers and to all of you for coming out and listening! We will be taking a short hiatus for the holidays but will be back for the spring semester. See you in February! 🍺 ⚛️

JENNIFER RABALAIS, PROJECT DIRECTOR/CO-DIRECTOR CENTER ON AGING AND COMMUNITY LIVING Jennifer focuses on the intersection of aging and disabilities, hoping to advance healthy aging in NH and creating greater balance between institutional and community based long term services.

DR. SAJAY ARTHANAT This talk will summarize Dr. Arthanat's research projects on assistive robotics and provide a current and future perspective on robotics for home-based care of people with Alzheimer's disease and related dementia.

DR. DAIN LAROCHE Dr. LaRoche is looking to understand how neuromuscular, metabolic, and biomechanical function limit mobility. He studies how leg strength and power affect gait quality, walking economy, mobility, and fall risk in older adults with the modifying role of obesity.

Today is the day! Join us at @GarrisonCity tonight for some great talks by top UNH researchers. There’s still time to get tickets! 👇 seacoastsipsofscience.com

DR. CARLOTA DAO Dr. Dao is interested in studying how our diet and environment influence the microbes that live in our guts and our health. With this information, she hopes to develop programs to help people at greater risk for obesity and chronic disease maintain healthy diets.

DR. JESSE STABILE MORRELL There is a growing belief that college attending young adults are facing challenges that increase their risk of food insecurity. Learn about campus food insecurity and how this research impacted UNH’s efforts to improve access to adequate and safe foods

DR. MICHAEL BRIAN Although your doctor likely measures your body mass index, would it be better for them to measure your adiposity and muscle mass levels? Our research suggests measuring your adiposity during young adulthood can detect early risk factors for heart disease.

BILAL CHAUDHRY: Research suggests that behavioral factors such as diet, exercise, and sleep duration can influence metabolic systems. This talk focuses on how we can utilize modifiable lifestyle factors to improve/preserve metabolic health and combat disease progression.
