Very proud of all the Covid research we’ve managed to do in the last few months thanks to our adapted methods and of course the incredible commitment of our twins to health research.

Got a great buzz going to work today starting on our Twins vs Covid study where we will be tracking our 14000 UK twins and doing rapid testing to understand why some asymptomatic. Support so far amazing ! But will need funds! @TwinsUKres @KingsCollegeLon @GSTTnhs @NIHRresearch
We’re coming for you, #COVID19. Proud to work for @TwinsUKres and help in the fight against COVID19 - never did I think I’d be working to set up urgent studies of this kind.
Some positive news- ! just heard that our research funders have offered us pilot funds to rapidly use our amazing 11000 Twin volunteers nationwide and database to help fight the #covid19UK epidemic - more to follow @TwinsUKres @NIHRresearch #CDRF @GSTTnhs
Great to be a part of this APPG. Looking forward to sharing our research with MPs, Lords &Ladies and other members in the next months.
Our comms&engagement manager @SciencePaz is headed to Westminster to join the @appgmicrobiome meeting on the human microbiome and how it affects health. Key research interest for us @TwinsUKres and a very short yet scenic trip from our dept based in St Thomas’ Hospital @gsttnhs
Great to present on our work to other longitudinal studies.
Our Engagement & Communcations Manager @SciencePaz just presented on our strategies to reduce attrition and boost participant engagement. It’s been a great day of sharing tips and learning from lots of different longitudinal cohort studies @CLOSER_UK #CLOSERconf
Complete carnage at @HeathrowAirport thanks to hours long delays and now cancellations! Thousands of passengers and no information from @BritishAirwaysT - do we collect our bags? Will you reschedule? No staff to help!
Told to call the helpline - helpline so busy the automated message hangs up on you! Completely unacceptable @British_Airways - so much for customer service.
Now @British_Airways and @HeathrowAirport are blaming each other and there’s a huge queue of people trying to retrieve their luggage. Been int he queue since 3am with no luck. @MailOnline @Telegraph @thetimes @guardian
It’s always a pleasure for me to meet our twin volunteers, and the odd celebrity that comes through our doors! Love that I get to do #comms and #engagement at such a fab research department @TwinsUKres
A busy day for us carrying out personalised #nutrition study PREDICT and other twin tests with our fab volunteers and no other than Dame Emma Thompson and Greg Wise! Thank you all for giving up your time to make this research possible @GSTTnhs @lifecourse_KCL
