A trial led by @amy_ahern, authored by @Julia_Namanka, @penny_breeze et al, found behav. weight management + dietary counselling in type 2 #diabetes didn’t improve HbA1c but may help people lose weight and be cost-effective compared with standard care tinyurl.com/48kkyzrc 🔓
Great to hear @CaraRuggiero discussing her “why” and the importance of finding your people in research. We’re very glad we found Cara/she found us and brought her passion and skills to our team. Excited about her developing new ideas in food insecurity and infant feeding.
This month's The Confidence Interval guest is Dr @CaraRuggiero.
Cara is a Research Associate, whose focus is Prevention of Diabetes and Related Metabolic Disorders in High Risk Groups.
Cara shares her journey from nutritionist to researcher.

Another year of PhD applications, another year of reading references telling me how “pleasant” and “polite” female candidates are..: 🙄

It was great to catch up with many of my former (and recently joined!) @MRC_Epid colleagues last night. I feel like you always remain part of the 'family' you did your PhD in

Congratulations to @laura_kudlek for submitting her PhD thesis and having her second PhD paper published last week 🤩 🥳 It has been an absolute pleasure to mentor this rising star in the psychology of eating behaviour and obesity and I have learnt so much working with her 🤩
New paper from our new Programme Manager @MarieSpreckley on advancing health and fostering community involvement in medical research through the Genes & Health study. Excited to apply her learnings to our work on SWiM and improve participation and engagement of underserved groups
Delighted to see this published in @CellCellPress review journal Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism (IF 11.4) 🙂

This was such an entertaining and informative lecture by @ChristiansenLiv at @EASOobesityECN winter school! #EASOed
Is an @EASOobesityECN winter school really complete without an engaging and informative lecture/rant about bad research statistics from @ChristiansenLiv ? Look out for his two statistics textbooks coming soon…. #killingstatisticalzombies
