So excited to be in Athlone, Ireland for a Nutrition Society conference on understanding the role of sex and gender in nutrition research - a topic close to my heart, and excellent to see the focus given to this important area! #NSIrish23 The George Institute for Global Health

Thanks so much @trish_heavey and Nutrition Society for the opportunity to present, and for hosting such a great conference! (Thanks also for the promotion to Prof, although must declare that I am not a Prof! 🙂)

Key findings from our Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases (GACD) Fiji SUP-Pacific project have now been published. We found that 75% of adults surveyed had experienced food insecurity in the past 12 months. Many had taken action to increase food security by starting home gardens. georgeinstitute.org/more-action-is…

Our colleagues were in Fiji today to hear Hon Dr Ratu Antonio Lalabalavu give the keynote address at the Fiji National University Fiji National University Workshop on capacity building in food policy. Proud to support this event as part of our @NHMRC-funded work to address NCDs in the Pacific.

Very pleased to hear that our paper is one of the top 10 most-cited papers published in Nutrition and Dietetics between 2022 and 2023. This paper has sparked lots of interesting conversations and opportunities. I'm glad our research question has resonated with so many.

Great to have the opportunity to speak with Rebecca. L. Root about the diet related burden of NCDs in the Pacific Region and supporting efforts to reduce NCDs by food aid being as nutritious as possible. The George Institute for Global Health theguardian.com/global-develop…
