What does #Budget2023 mean for science and business? From #Nuclear investment to medical #regulation reforms; #CCUS funding pledge to R&D tax relief, here's what @Jeremy_Hunt has announced for science and industry today bit.ly/3JE42v5

@SCIFoodGroup @timspector That's difficult - ideally someone like @KevinH_PhD who conducts research into potential health effects. Missing from the discussion are food scientists who understand the role of processing and are happy to speak about it.

We are looking to work with Scottish Food Producers interested in reducing harm from fat, sugar and salt in the supply chain. Several workshops planned, DM if interested. #LeadingIdeas @rowett_abdn

@ggkuhnle @timspector The focus on the, often innovative, technology rather than the value and safety of the end product here brings to mind many arguments that were put forward against GM. Are so called UPFs inherently unhealthy? Who would you invite onto a panel to discuss?

Ten food safety tips this Christmas from IFST Food Safety Group

@krishgm Hi Krishnan. Your Mum might be lucky in that there was an immune response with the second round that nudged her sense of smell, but I'm not the Dr. Perhaps @mrsimongane has some thoughts for you. Glad to hear--life without smell can be discouraging.
