A huge honour to receive the Silver Medal award from @NutritionSoc for my research on PN.
Like it or loathe it PN is here to stay - so how can we do it well?

New COVID19 cases in U.K. hit record high! 221,000 cases per day and still rising - Scotland the worst hit but affects every region. Perfect timing (not) as the govt stops funding the Zoe Covid study and hospitalisations rise again - thanks for logging!

Check out our graphic showing your relative protection from COVID infection after vaccines and infection, and how the vaccine protection changes over time. TL;DR: vaccines give more protection than infection alone, but wane over time so get your booster for maximum protection!
