By Frank Macdonald. A silence, sadder that the slowest slow air, followed last Wednesday’s news that Buddy MacMaster has died. With his passing, Cape Breton Island had lost a much loved musical voice, a gentle man whose fiddle had brought dancers to their feet in parish and community halls for several decades, and whose talent was as at home at Carnegie Hall as in the Glencoe Station Hall. The sixth ceilidh of the Chestico Museum’s 2016 summer ceilidh series was held on August 11th and it was a great show! We were fortunate to have two very taleneted fiddlers with us – Joe MacMaster and Cullen MacInnis. Cullen and Joe also both play piano and while one played the other other would accompany on piano. Siobhan Beaton also.

Research

My research examines the integrative physiology of exercise at the molecular to whole body level in both healthy individuals and people with chronic diseases. In addition to basic, mechanistic studies on the regulation of skeletal muscle energy provision, my laboratory conducts applied research that examines the impact of physical training and dietary manipulation on human health and performance. Our recent work has largely focused on the physiological adaptations to intermittent exercise (interval training) and the associated health impacts. I am also interested in science communication and coauthored a bestselling book on the science of time-efficient exercise, The One-Minute Workout: Science Shows a Way to Get Fit That’s Smarter, Faster, Shorter (Penguin Random House, 2017).
