We also got to experience the SPRAAKLAB — a mobile laboratory developed for research in linguistics🗣️✨ Learning about speech perception and production helps us understand how ageing impacts communication! More in: www.rug.nl/research/clc...

We wrapped up with an insightful discussion and future perspectives! 🌟 An engaging and thought-provoking workshop — thank you to the organisers @rug.nl and @unitartupress.bsky.social for an event full of collaboration and networking. #ENLIGHTREACT #AgeingResearch #BiologyOfAging

And now @miles2708.bsky.social is talking about non-invasive neurophysiological and stimulation methods for a modern perspective on aging @react-enlight.bsky.social @rug.nl

Now the @unitartupress.bsky.social afternoon of the @react-enlight.bsky.social workshop on modern perspectives on the biology of aging by Pärt Peterson on the aging immune system

So nice to meet @react-enlight.bsky.social members in person, at today’s workshop @rug.nl on Modern Perspectives on the Biology of Aging

We’ve arrived in Groningen! Excited to connect and exchange ideas on ageing research from diverse perspectives. A big thank you to the organisers @rug.nl and #UniversityofTartu #AgeingResearch #ENLIGHTREACT #BiologyOfAging #Networking

Excited to announce the 1st Thematic Workshop of the #ENLIGHTREACT Network! 🧬 Modern Perspectives on the Biology of Aging 📍 University of Groningen 📅 November 6–7, 2025 Organised by @rug.nl & #unitartu #AgeingResearch #REACTNetwork #BiologyOfAging

As part of @react-enlight.bsky.social we have a public lecture next Thursday on the evolution of ageing across the tree of life by @yagmurerten.bsky.social, come along! 👇

We are introducing our REACT collaborators across the ENLIGHT network! First up: @uniofgalway.bsky.social in Ireland 🇮🇪

🔬🧠💪💻

Meet UDEM @unibe.ch @inselgruppe.bsky.social – REACT Network Collaborator UDEM is a powerhouse of interdisciplinary research, focusing on the metabolic diseases. #REACTNetwork #HealthyAgeing

🌿Today we have stepped outside the lab to share a day of nature mindfulness, tea and discussion on ageing and dementia research.

The Research and Education in Ageing Collaborative Team (REACT) at the University hosted a 'Nature Mindfulness for older adults and people living with dementia' event this past Friday at Brigit's Garden to discuss age-related research. #AlzheimersResearch #JPND #dementiaresearch #REACT
