@POferriesupdate Please stop tweeting things that are untrue or misleading. Our school trip has had to be cancelled after a 14-hour overnight delay and still no progress. Cannot say 5-6 hour delay at port, when have to queue to get even that far.

@RawlinsPE Will trust you to make the best decision based on the info on the ground though. You are all doing an amazing job. Thanks so much.

@RawlinsPE If staff and pupils are up for it and drivers are able to, would forge ahead!

This concept is one of my favorite changes to EASD/ADA consensus. Recognition of the “little things” that make such a difference. #EASD2022

Excellent ECO2022 conference in Maastricht, with presentations making the news, including a study led by @kamleshkhunti showing impact of the pandemic on obesity https://t.co/AuOvwn075d

@nanettemutrie @Ulf_Ekelund We used mendelian randomization, so not definitive, but at least suggestive of causality

[@ProfTomYates @proftomyates]

@nanettemutrie @Ulf_Ekelund Absolutely. However our study showed that self-reported walking pace was casually associated with longer telomeres, confirmed with accelerometer movement intensity, but not overall volume. So whilst every step does count, brisk ones may count a bit more.

[@ProfTomYates @proftomyates]

Recent media interest linked to our telomere study showing brisk walkers are biologically younger
