Didn't get to attend the #BSRA2026 public lecture by
Valter Longo of @usc.edu in person this year?

Well, luckily we recorded it then ⬇️⬇️⬇️

It's been a few days since #BSRA2026 and we're still buzzing. We've got tonnes of photos and videos that'll be trickling out for a while yet.

What was your favourite part of this year's meeting?

Always great to host the @americanaging.bsky.social best ECR presentation as part of the BSRA-AGE longstanding relationship.

Who will win the Korenchevsky Prize and represent the BSRA as our best ECR speaker at AGE 2027? Find out at prizegiving at the end of day 3!

Fun run? Fun run!

What better way to start day 2 than with the 4th annual "Morgan" fun run, a gentle 5km around Oxford parks. Because exercise and healthy ageing right!?

Annnnnddddd Day 1 is a wrap!

ECR communication training, keynotes talks, some great science shared, and an engaging public lecture before @dweinkove.bsky.social hosted a Chairs Reception in the stunning dining hall at @kebleoxford.bsky.social.

What was your favourite part of day 1?

🎓 First conference? Don’t be shy!

We asked ECRs for their top tips for #BSRA2026. Introduce yourself, ask questions, visit the posters and get involved.

And don’t forget the terrible conference coffee ☕️, some of the best conversations happen there!
