Thank you Philip Britz-McKibbin and Dajana Vuckovic and team for organizing such a successful #MetSoc2023 conference. Amazing speakers, posters and fantastic discussions and network sessions
Frustrated that the pounds keep flooding back after losing weight on a diet? PFAS, pervasive environmental contaminants known as "forever chemicals," could play a role.

@NikoMcCarty That is amazing! If I can ask a naive question- how symmetrical is ATP synthase around the rotational axis? At that rotational speed, I wonder how the moment of inertia affects the structural integrity of that large molecule
Sleep deprivation has profound impact (maybe more than diet) on health outcomes. PNAS study shows >700 genes affected by one week of sleep deprivation and puts body into inflammatory state. https://t.co/lc4pNhCZhv
Interesting study collated from research from around the world find that areas with high Li in drinking water have lower levels of suicide. Adding Li to drinking water may actually help mitigate the social cancer that fuels Facebook, Instagram etc... https://t.co/1EBjaPw4HI
Extremely encouraging findings on degradation of PFAS "forever chemicals" with boron nitride catalyst and UV. 99% of PFAS degraded in 4 hours. Also degrades GenX. Advances in testing = legislation = remediation https://t.co/hvCSs3LRMT
More accurate method for determining dog age developed by researchers at UCSD by measuring rate and extent of epigenetic methylation to genome and comparing to humans. https://t.co/EJabkAHxRP More accurate than 7x rule #goodboy#goodgirl#dogsarelove
Early life exposure and childhood obesity study published. https://t.co/dm3uTC4vZq. 1301 children studied (6-11 y) investigating prenatal exposure to POPs, tobacco and metals. Maternal smoking large influence on child BMI #exposomics#smoking#BMI#obesity
Exposure to cyclohexanone from medical IV plastic during neonatal cardiac procedures can impact neurological development of child https://t.co/1xoylByIku
Study reveals birth defect from paternal exposure to flame retardant PBB-153. https://t.co/jCFYMRyoFn. Exposure causes epigenetic changes in sperm cells that affects health of offspring
Can accelerated aging be detected in mitochondrial DNA and telomere length by exposure to environmental pollutants? Reactive oxygen species from pollutants can result in inflammation https://t.co/gGEHRXg4Cw
Toxin exposure from environmental pollutants can result in damage to mitochondria and creation of osteoclasts responsible for osteoporosis and bone loss https://t.co/53kGWqaaSj
