Do I Really Need 10,000 Steps a Day?

• How many steps do we need for health and longevity benefits?

• Does intensity matter, or is it just about total steps?

• Beyond how many steps we take, what role do other activity patterns play in overall health (like sitting less, strength training, and “weekend warrior” exercise)?

Amanda Paluch is a Associate Professor of Kinesiology at UMass Amherst. She is a physical activity epidemiologist and kinesiologist focused on advancing the measurement and promotion of physical activity. Her research includes developing wearable sensor technologies to monitor movement and health. As an epidemiologist, Amanda studies the associations of physical activity and chronic disease with an emphasis on advancing the science on daily steps as a public health metric. Her long-term goal is to reduce the burden of chronic disease and promote healthy aging through technology-assisted physical activity interventions that can be disseminated through clinicians and population-level efforts.

Volcanoes in Our Backyard: Insights into New England’s Geologic Past

Dr. Juliet Johnston is a Assistant Professor of Environmental Microbiology and Bioremediation at Hampshire College. She received her B.S. from Clemson University, and Ph.D. in environmental engineering from the University of Minnesota focusing on seasonal variations in wastewater microbial communities. While technically an environmental engineer, their primary focus is on leveraging microbial communities for biodegradation and bioremediation. She previously was a postdoctoral researcher at the Georgia Institute of Technology focusing on the transcriptomic responses of nitrifying bacteria in wastewater. Before Georgia Tech, they were a postdoctoral researcher at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory with Dr. Mayali using microbial encapsulation techniques to explore how microbial communities behave in aggregates. Johnston has previously taught as a part-time lecturer at the University of California Berkeley and as an adjunct professor at the University of St. Thomas. She is excited to teach courses focusing on environmental microbiology, bioinformatics, environmental engineering, and general chemistry. Outside of lab, she can often be found on hikes, lounging in coffee shops, DIY crafting, and petting every nearby dog.
