@naderi_yeganeh Amazing! but this makes perfect sense - if math is often used to describe the 'invisible,' of course, it can also be used to articulate the 'visible'!

@ACPreH1 @sahmriAU Very excited to share our recent publication - Vitamin D Deficiency Increases Mortality Risk in the UK Biobank.

[Amanda Lumsden @AmandaLLumsden]

Excited to share this work, and so proud to be working with such a great team! @anwarmulugeta2 @ACPreH1 #basalmetabolicrate #dementia #brainiron

The difference between a good student and a great one is that a good student is concerned more about the outcome while a great one is fascinated by the process of learning.

Our genetic analyses provide supporting evidence that low vitamin D status can contribute to chronic inflammation, measured by elevated C-reactive protein @ACPreH1

If you're low on Vitamin D, you could be at risk of #inflammatory diseases such as #type2diabetes or #heartdisease, according to world-first #research from @UniversitySA https://t.co/TyFSIKvUVf

[Ang Zhou @AngZhou3]

Cannot agree more on this.

Giving a science talk that few people understand does not make you look smart and does not help you.

A few years ago, I would not have the courage to be active on Twitter because I would allow the "haters" to define who I am.

Nowadays, I tell myself that the ones who see my worth are the ones who matter. The ones who don't are missing out.

Also, stratifying individuals according to their polygenic scores from the interaction model and showed notable differences in the effects of lifestyle on cardiovascular risk across stratified groups, implying the need for individualizing lifestyle changes for CVD prevention

Is the link between more years in education and lower rates of smoking causal? And is it due to general cognitive ability, or education per se? It appears that it's education itself - new study in @NatureComms by @ECSanderson https://t.co/uplJZE2Kxc @BristolTARG @mrc_ieu

@DoktrNick @UQwinterSchool @IMBatUQ Great! This is my first time attending the program, thoroughly enjoyed all the talks today.

@DoktrNick @UQwinterSchool @IMBatUQ Hi Nick, Is it possible to have all the presenters’ talks uploaded on the Winter school website? - don’t want to miss any important points from the presenters 😃
