Van Tulleken offered the clearest definition of ultra-processed food I've heard.

It's food broken down into industrial ingredients and rebuilt to be cheap, engineered for hyperpalatability and shelf life, designed to displace home cooking.

[Eimear O’Rourke @Eimear_OR]

In Clara Davis's studies dating to 1928, newly-weaned children offered only whole foods chose balanced diets by instinct, one even recovered from rickets.

Van Tulleken posed: does that instinct survive ultra-processed food?

Day 1 at #LongevitySummitDublin

A fascinating deep dive into women's health, reproductive aging, and longevity.

Encouraging to see growing research into how reproductive health and ovarian aging may influence overall healthspan.

Professor Van Tulleken traced how industry-funded messaging helped frame obesity as primarily an exercise problem rather than a dietary one, referencing analyses of how food and beverage companies have shaped the research landscape.

Spent the day at Rhodes House, Oxford for the Smart Ageing Summit 2026 with some of the most interesting voices in the field.
A full day on diet, inflammation and longevity and a reminder that how we age is being decided long before old age.

In parts of China, robots are already delivering medication, assisting in surgeries, and moving faster than any human could in hospitals.

Took a photos of our dessert and Oura turned it into a data point we can actually learn from.

Having been to a lot of conferences, the food situation is sometimes not accommodating for individuals with allergies, so I skip it.

But Web Summit was different.

@WebSummit bits

Best part of the event wasn’t on stage, it was in the conversations during coffee breaks, between sessions or on the walk to the next talk.

Here’s what I learned from some interesting minds 📸

[Eimear O’Rourke @Eimear_OR]

@WebSummit @ouraring @KhabyLame @paddycosgrave From @antonosika, CEO @Lovable - creativity has never been more accessible. The gap between "I have an idea" and "I built the thing" has basically disappeared. I built an allergy app for my brother and me in minutes.

[Eimear O’Rourke @Eimear_OR]

Spent a few days behind the scenes with Paddy Cosgrave, capturing moments that don’t make the stage.

What impressed me most was the focus on creating real spaces for connection, between founders, scientists, and creators from around the world.

Big step forward for allergy care.

Medicine is moving from “avoid the threat” to “retrain the system.”

Peanut allergy treatment keeps evolving.

Now the FDA is reviewing Anaphylm, an under-the-tongue epinephrine film designed to treat severe allergic reactions.
