The LEAP Study: longitudinal effects of protein supplementation and activity on muscular performance in older adults
We are inviting older adults to take part in a research study on nutrition and exercise and how these factors may affect muscle health. As people age, they may require increased nutrients and regular physical activity to help maintain strength and independence. This study will examine whether older adults are willing and able to consume a protein-containing beverage each day and participate in weekly strength training sessions. It will also help researchers better understand how nutrition and exercise together may influence muscle health in older adults.

Diabetes and driving: a survey of Australian drivers
Diabetes can affect vision, nerve function, and cognitive ability, which may make driving more difficult and increase safety risks. However, little is known about the challenges that drivers with diabetes face in their everyday driving. This national online survey, conducted by researchers at Queensland University of Technology, explores the driving experiences of people living with diabetes. The study aims to understand better the driving challenges faced by this population and to inform future evidence-based recommendations. The survey takes approximately 15 minutes to complete, and participation is voluntary and anonymous.

This research explores how consumers emotionally and behaviourally react when they miss out on experiences they wanted to access due to scarcity (e.g., concert tickets, limited releases, exclusive events). While existing research examines the anxiety of potentially missing out (Fear of Missing Out, or FoMO), we know little about what happens when missing out becomes a reality.
