Ryan Bruellman, PhD candidate in genetics, genomics, and bioinformatics at UCR, joins Science Friday to discuss his research showing how excessive sitting harms even young, active people.
Ryan Bruellman, a doctoral candidate in UC Riverside’s genetics, genomics, and bioinformatics department, led a new study that reveals prolonged sitting significantly harms even young, active adults, increasing the risk of heart disease and obesity. It also found current federal exercise guidelines are insufficient to offset sitting's negative effects.

After the volcanic eruption of 1980, scientists released the burrowing rodents for only a brief time, but their activities left a remarkably enduring impact, according to study by UCR microbiologists Michael Allen and Emma Aronson, and University of Connecticut mycologist Mia Maltz, who was a postdoctoral scholar in Aronson’s lab at UCR when the study began.
Scientists are seeing signs of resistance to infections that have been wiping out the world’s amphibian populations. UCR mycologist Jason Stajich, coauthor of a recent report on the virus in Current Biology, weighs in on the latest efforts to fight the infections.
UCR graduate student Yu-Chi Lee led a team that found a slowing ocean current could keep Arctic temperatures 2° C (3.6° F) cooler than they would otherwise likely be in 2100. That sounds encouraging – until you realize that under their calculations the region warms by a shocking 8° C (14.4° F) instead of a catastrophic 10° C (18° F).
