Will eating nuts ward off cognitive decline? #AdvNutr review: lack of consistency in study design, types of nut & cognitive outcomes measured "resulted in inconsistent evidence that regular consumption of mixed nuts has a protective effect on cognition."
Americans—especially women—are turning to nature to cope with the pandemic, new #UVM research says: https://t.co/3hV9JYuT3A
The Vermont study—in @PLOSONE—is among the first to explore #COVID19's impacts on people and nature: https://t.co/5LOk50Oc8e. Via @rachelle_gould lab.
Pleased to announce that @AllisonUnger415 passed her written and oral #PhD dissertation requirements today. Congratulations, and best of luck in your next adventure! @uvmvermont@UVMGradCollege@uvmasci

Metformin and #exercise are often co-prescribed for people with #prediabetes or #T2D, but a new study by @CFAS_dk shows that the combination of #metformin and #exercise is not superior to exercise alone for improving #glycaemic control https://t.co/NvbfndcHAV #toptweet
Whether or not to go to college can already be a daunting decision for underrepresented minority students who are first generation more than 40% of the time, and pursuing a graduate degree can be even more intimidating. If this is on your mind, join us and our amazing panel!
Very excited for the collaborative effort of our students @V_Taormina, @AllisonUnger415, and @MorganSchiksnis with @motogo19. Together we have summarized the current understanding of a component unique to dairy - branched-chain fatty acids - in health.
Branched-chain FAs (BCFAs), comprising approximately 2% of dairy fat, have recently been proposed as bioactive molecules contributing to the positive health effects associated with the consumption of full-fat dairy products. https://t.co/km0m7xBL43
Here is a very well made and comprehensive graphic summary of how dietary compounds, bacteria, and bacterial-derived compounds/metabolites influence our metabolic health.
Gut microbiota in human metabolic health and disease
Fan & Pedersen discuss how the gut microbiota and derived microbial compounds may contribute to human metabolic health and to the pathogenesis of common metabolic diseases
