@mo_mars @WUR_HNH @WUR Congratulations, @mo_mars !! Such a wonderful milestone👩🏻‍💻

[Julie Gervis @JulieGervis]

Excited to present some of my thesis research at the @American_Heart #EpiLifestyle23 Poster Session tmw!

Stop by if you want to learn about some genetic factors potentially contributing to food choices & diet patterns!🧬🥦🍅

[Julie Gervis @JulieGervis]

@deirdre_tobias So excited to see this opening!

[Julie Gervis @JulieGervis]

@mo_mars @HNRCA_Tufts @TuftsNutrition @American_Heart @WUR_HNH @WUR Thanks, Monica!!

It was my honor to visit you! I learned so much in those few weeks, and am so grateful for your ongoing mentorship and collaboration @WUR @WUR_HNH

[Julie Gervis @JulieGervis]

And just like that…I’m done!👩🏻‍🔬✨

Feeling so grateful for all those that helped me reach this milestone. Nothing happens alone, and I have been so lucky to have such a strong support network!

@STANAorg Hi! Was this session recorded? I just learned about this group (1 day too late!) and would love to hear the discussion. Thanks!

[American Society for Nutrition Journals @jnutritionorg]

Happy Halloween! Do you prefer sweet or sour candy? Check out this #JNutr Editor’s Choice article by @JulieGervis and colleagues, who created an approach to examine taste perception (sweet, salt, sour, bitter, and umami) https://t.co/cOVNM0cNTs

ICYMI: Alice Lichtenstein joined the @dopelabspodcast
for a great discussion on the science of nutrition, with a focus on #vitamins, #minerals and supplements. https://t.co/aIzXN60Io0

@kewesterman Congrats, Kenny! Such an impressive and interesting project!

@SeanBCash @TuftsNutrition @JMHNRCA @nutritionorg @TuftsUniversity @SeanBCash thank you!!😊

[Julie Gervis @JulieGervis]

So cool seeing my thesis research in the real world! Thanks @HealthDayTweets for taking the time to chat with me about our work & how studies like this may help us understand our eating behaviors.

Bitter or Savory, Taste Genes Could Influence Your Diet https://t.co/bTlpjSf8C2

Thank you @nutritionorg for this acknowledgement and for the opportunity to present our work! #NUTRITION2022 #NutritionLiveOnline

[American Society for Nutrition @nutritionorg]

Congratulations to the Clinical Emerging Leaders Award Competition winners and finalists. And a very special thank you to Lonza for their support of this competition. #NutritionLiveOnline https://t.co/cF4PK9jfgu

At #Nutrition2022, @JulieGervis presented research to suggest that #genes can shape our #DietaryDestiny. Determine it? No. Influence it? Yes.

@mo_mars @nutritionorg @JMHNRCA @AHA_Research Thanks @mo_mars! I would love to present some of this work during my visit to WUR. Would be great to also hear your perspective on the project, and learn how we can integrate other sensory nutrition methods too!

[Julie Gervis @JulieGervis]

So excited to see our work on taste-related #genes being highlighted by @nutritionorg!

Our peliminary data suggest bitter- & umami-related genes impact food choices, while sweet-related genes may impact #cardiometabolic health.

Are you surprised⁉️👅

@JMHNRCA @AHA_Research

[American Society for Nutrition @nutritionorg]

Preliminary research suggests that taste-related genes may influence our food choices and #cardiometabolic health: https://t.co/XnRd40zwO9 #NutritionLiveOnline @TuftsUniversity @JulieGervis #personalizednutrition

[Julie Gervis @JulieGervis]

Interesting findings now out in @Nutrients_MDPI indicate that bitter taste receptor genes 👅🧬may also associate with sweet🍭 and salt🧂perceptions, irrespective of age & BMI.

How might this translate to dietary patterns? The jury is still out!⚖️

Thanks #AChemS2022 for an engaging & interactive *virtual* poster session today and letting me present our work on #taste-related polygenic risk scores and fruit & veg intakes!

ICYMI, higher umami (but not bitter) PRS may be associated with lower veg intake in adults🍅🥦🤔

[Paule Joseph, PhD, MBA, CRNP, FAAN @Dr_Paulevj]

Today is #AnosmiaAwarenessDay to the many who had or developed impaired sense of smell. We see you and we are working to understand more … join us @GCChemosensoryR webinar to learn more #anosmiaawareness #anosmia #COVID #parosmia #smell #flavor #taste

[Julie Gervis @JulieGervis]

Overall, taste perception profiles were differentially associated with adherence to 3 empirically derived dietary patterns.

These days convey the complexity of taste-diet relations, & suggest the benefit of incorporating taste perception into personalized nutrition guidance.

[Julie Gervis @JulieGervis]

Excited to share our latest work on the associations between taste perception profiles & dietary patterns, now available in @Nutrients_MDPI!
