There were some good talks, too, to be fair.
An interesting physiology talk about cellular response to mechanical stimulation (by way of tension on the cytoskeletal elements).
I'm interested in that insofar as exercise creates *functional* musculoskeletal elements. I like the idea of exercising *cells*.
I also obsess rather a not (in a non-comprehending way) about the difference between *gravity* and *pressure*. So, how cells don't organise properly and musculoskeletal system breaks down in low gravity environments (space) but people in submarines... Uh... Have pressure equalised cabins? It's the shell of the ship being exercised, not them. I don't know...
And something about tensile strength and compressive strength. And about bones really being about tensile strength really...
I like that kind of stuff. That kind of stuff is cool.
There was also a couple of interesting genetics projects going on.
But I see that you can do these things within medicine.
So...
