❓ Could our DNA explain the health benefits of green spaces? A new study, led by @ATHLETEexposome and @LongITools investigates how access to green spaces might improve health by subtly influencing how our genes work. #exposome #EHEN

Our work is now published! @i_fmarques and I investigated the association between green space exposure and DNA methylation in cord and child blood. Could epigenetics be one of the molecular mechanisms explaining the health benefits of green spaces?

What an amazing experience in Frascati last week at the LongITools Autumn School, hosted by @CEIStorvergata! With morning lectures and afternoon practical workshops, it was full of learning for our team and ticked off one of our project milestones! #knowledgetransfer #exposome

With worsening air pollution, wildfires, and heatwaves the gains made in protecting children’s health are being threatened.
On #WorldCleanAirDay and every day, leaders must take action to ensure children have clean and healthy environments. #TogetherForCleanAir
#BookRecommendation WANTED
Looking for #nonfiction books in molecular science, #epidemiology, #urbanization, population health & related topics.
More surprisingly, in 2023, it still takes about an hour to get from Cambridge to London by 🚂 – at Rotterdam, The Netherlands

The LongITools project is studying the interactions between environmental, lifestyle and biological factors to determine people’s risks of developing non-communicable diseases, such as obesity. Learn more about the project: longitools.org/

📢Interested in applying for a PhD fellowship on Maternal and Child Health using an innovative exposome approach? (Deadline:31st March). The Generation 21 birth cohort research team (Portugal) is looking for you! Get in touch to find out more! [susana.m.santos@ispup.up.pt]
Curious to know if exposure to natural areas in the city during pregnancy associate with offspring biological ageing? The 1st article of my PhD is out!

I’ve become fascinated with urbanization during my PhD. Couldn’t be at a better place to study its impact on health!
What do you think, can the Netherlands hit its limits? – at Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Can a rich place be happy if its economy stops growing? As the Netherlands, NYC and Singapore run out of room for new workers and businesses, it’s a looming question, says @kupersimon on.ft.com/3FtTbSW

How is maternal shiftwork in pregnancy related to child health? LongITools is at the Epigenomics of Common Diseases meeting in Hinxton, UK, with @i_fmarques and @JanineFF presenting work on maternal shiftwork in pregnancy & child DNA methylation, a potential biological mechanism.
The week summary!
Looking forward to seeing you in the Netherlands @yiyan_he !
@BirthCohorts The amazing experience with Paula Rantakallio symposium #PRKS and LongITools @LongITools general assembly for the last week. Honour to be a part of the organising team, and a big thanks to @SylvainSebert and @teija_juola for making them real! 🤓
