To recognize the ongoing #BlackinPhysiology week (October 12-16, 2020), I'm re-releasing this interview with Dr. Austin Robinson.
-------
In this episode of Science & Chill, my guest is Dr. Austin Robinson from Auburn University.
Dr. Robinson is an expert in blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and exercise. His main research interest focus on how blood pressure is influenced by lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, and even race. We share a common research interest in the fact that Austin is also interested in studying blood vessel function, a topic we cover in detail during this episode.
Along with these topics, we discuss endurance exercise performance and review a study he was a lead author on that profiled a 70-year old marathoner who holds the world record for his age group!
I was really excited to have Austin on, and hope you enjoy this wide-ranging conversation with a fantastic scientist and human being.
