Is an EASO Early Career Network winter school really complete without an engaging and informative lecture/rant about bad research statistics from Prof Paul Christiansen ? Look out for his two statistics textbooks coming soon…. #killingstatisticalzombies

Congratulations to the EASO EASO Early Career Network Board who organised another incredible Winter School. These ECRs have developed a vibrant community of early career scientists and health professionals working in obesity and exceptional education and networking events.

New paper from our new Programme Manager Dr. Marie Spreckley 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

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 🤩

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

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

Great to hear Cara Ruggiero, PhD, RD, LDN 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.
