Tovah has been an Editor for the BMC series since 2016. Before moving into publishing, Tovah received her Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University, USA, where she studied calcium signaling in yeast, developing a novel microscopy probe for real-time measurement of calcineurin activity. Tovah's path to scientific publishing started with an early fascination with Punnett squares and a focus on genetics, which then broadened into an interest in the communication and application of scientific research across disciplines. Along with working on her journals, Tovah enjoys interacting with the research community through seminars and workshops related to scientific publishing.

Stephen joined the BMC Series as an Assistant Editor in April 2018. He completed a Master’s in molecular biology at the CUNY Graduate Center and completed his bachelor’s degree in molecular biology at UC Santa Cruz. Stephen’s graduate research focused on mitochondrial dysfunction in neurodegenerative disorders, using fruit fly and cell culture models.




BMC Geriatrics – Highlights of 2018

As global populations age, the new questions and challenges arise in geriatric care. BMC Geriatrics publishes important research addressing these topics, from exercise and sleep to screening for frailty and overall health, and more. Here are some of our most interesting papers from 2018.

For older adults, regular exercise has multiple benefits, including helping to maintain muscle strength, reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, and aiding the management of depression. But just as with those new gym members, older adults too face challenges starting and staying with an exercise routine
