We need older people (+70) who may be interested our study looking at plant proteins and exercise on appetite.... the idea being to prevent malnutrition... So if you know anyone who might fit the bill @brianie68 @APPETITE_JPI need you!! @UCD_Research @UCDFoodHealth @UCD_Conway

Great to hear the @APPETITE_JPI study get a mention today from @laoneill111 and @PatKennyNT. This can be quite a tough population to connect with so we are counting on everyone to refer their older relatives/friends. See our study poster below.

UCD Human Nutrition Student Sarah needs volunteers to complete a questionnaire for her final year thesis. Only takes a few minutes, see below for link! 👇👇 @ucd_sphpss @UCDFoodHealth @HealthyUCD @UCDNutritionSoc

@DrJanetteWalton @aislinn_mccourt @UCDFoodHealth @NutritionSoc Thanks for your question Janette, and it is important to make the distinction that this data was collected from primary schools only.

@brianie68 @aislinn_mccourt @UCDFoodHealth @NutritionSoc Hi Brian. Can I ask is this primary or secondary schools or both?

There has been an increase in fruit and veg provided in the Irish school meals programme. 47% of fruit is provided as juices and smoothies - do you think we should be encouraging kids to eat whole fruit and veg? @brianie68 @UCDFoodHealth @NutritionSoc #nsirishpostgrad20
