The study was funded by @NIHRresearch and led by Prof @MondelliValeria and @AnnaPMcL @KingsIoPPN

Dear friends, the best way to help Ukraine is to contribute here https://t.co/EqK0FYKX2R. We have already raised over £100,000. I am overwhelmed with your kindness and generosity. As there are no flights I’ll bring medical supplies for Ukrainian hospitals by car.

This article debunking #diet myths is fantastic! 🍕🥑🍦

The same diet will not work the same way for everyone, simply because everyone's metabolism is different.

A fantastic blog by @EttaNettis 🙌

[Inspire the Mind ✍🧠 @inspirethemind_]

NEW #BLOG!✍️

This week, @EttaNettis returns to talk #depression, #inflammation, and her PhD: "I have learned that a good question to ask yourself — to better understand whether you are going in the right direction — is: how is my work helping others?" https://t.co/YSGnFsUuk9

[Dr Anna P McLaughlin @AnnaPMcL]

SO HAPPY and relieved to submit my PhD thesis yesterday 🎉

Incredibly grateful for the guidance & support of my wonderful supervisor @MondelliValeria & the @SPILabKCL team

@gsandral @MondelliValeria @NIHRMaudsleyBRC @KingsIoPPN Dementia isn't my fields of expertise either, but there was a longitudinal study showing that higher CRP was associated with brain decline (but not dementia specifically). Metabolic health was also an important factor! https://t.co/YbG4P0wD43

[Dr Anna P McLaughlin @AnnaPMcL]

My first PhD paper is out today!

We found overweight people with depression are 2.4x more likely to have clinically elevated #inflammation 🔥

This puts them at a high risk for heart disease & diabetes

Fantastic working on this paper with my supervisor @MondelliValeria and the @bio_dep team!

Great to have it published 4 days before I finish my PhD! 👩‍🎓

[Valeria Mondelli @MondelliValeria]

Our NEW paper out today in @PsychMedJournal showing ⬆️ levels of #inflammation if you are overweight+suffering with #depression than if you have only 1 of these conditions.
