Meet the CAP Lab Research Team. 🔬✨
We’re kicking off our new interview series.
In this first post, I share my philosophy on leadership and our mission to combat the world’s #1 leading cause of death: cardiovascular disease. 👇
Nice surprise in my holiday inbox today! 🎉🎉🎉
Grateful for the opportunity to make (very small) contributions to expand our knowledge of the human body.
Wishing for more discoveries in the new year...
We discuss transitioning from PhD to applied science and finding your path in space physiology.

Welcome to the CAP Lab! 🔬✨
We have our inaugural lab tour video ready! We share unscripted insights into our daily research.
Step inside to see how we use gold-standard tech to study the heart, brain, and nervous system. 👇
🚨 Newsletter post is live!
🎙 This one features the first episode of our (Dr. Jorge Granados) podcast Physiology Unraveled!

These findings challenge recommendations from many organizations (e.g., American Heart Association & American Diabetes Association) that caution that ketogenic diets may accelerate heart disease risk.

We report for the first time a coronary artery calcium (CAC) score of 0 (i.e., no plaque formation) in a male patient with type 1 diabetes who has followed a ketogenic diet for over 10 years, despite elevated LDL cholesterol and no lipid-lowering medication....(thread)
Fun times at the Tallahassee Science Festival - We had ~200 people test their handgrip strength!
Big thanks to Tom Bissen & Joe Vondrasek for help getting exercise science out into the community. Photo credit to Clinical Research Assistant (and film director 👀) Alex Rivera.

Looking for a PhD program? It all starts with great supervision. Choose wisely.

CNN just featured our research, but they got the methods and results wrong! Needless to say, the newsletter is back (and it won't be written by AI).
3/3 This remaining difference was accounted for by the ~10% higher hemoglobin levels in males, which allows their blood to carry more oxygen to the working muscles.

2/3 Males have more muscle mass on average, but this didn't explain the whole picture. After researchers adjusted for differences in muscle mass, females' VO2max was still about 15% lower.
New research on highly trained athletes highlights that sex differences in maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) are primarily driven by 2 factors: body composition and hemoglobin.🧵

What's a smart scale? Should you use one? What do you need to know about your body composition besides your weight? APS member Austin Robinson (@ausrob-phd.bsky.social) weighed in 😜 on the subject. Read more from @NBCNews: ow.ly/sKMo50WQuEz #ISpyPhysiology 🧪
