We seem to have developed "world beating" coronavirus. As someone not native to the UK, can someone clarify whether this is the sort of British exceptionalism that we're supposed to be celebrating with this whole Brexit thing?

@bethstuart97 I think he just wants cake

I am really struggling with an analysis this morning and was talking it through with my husband when child2 chipped in "It's hard isn't it? Why don't you take a break and bake something? Things are always better when you have cake." Well, he isn't wrong!

Me on @CNN: It's not the economy versus public health. Such dichotomy is not helpful. Public health has always been a consequence of the economy and now that the economy is at the mercy of PH we must realise that it can only be as healthy as the most vulnerable member of society.

@geodianna Aww, maybe if I start referring to work as playing the day will go faster!

I was so excited about this paper coming out because it’s the fruit of genuine multidisciplinary research (epidemiology & geography) & learning from each other @geodianna @GeogWilding @NidaZiauddeen A bit overshadowed by COVID but still proud.

Are environmental area characteristics at birth associated with overweight and #obesity in school-aged children? Findings from the SLOPE (Studying Lifecourse Obesity PrEdictors) population-based cohort in the south of England New #OpenAccess research: bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

2/2 A pleasure to write our associated commentary - good work @GeogWilding and team "This provides an important longitudinal addition to current evidence" May be of interest (if so RT) @FrancescaPontin @drshellm @alchristensen12 @JoreintjeM @jlakerveld @EgliVictoria

1/2 Interesting study by @GeogWilding in @BMCMedicine Environmental characteristics at birth and overweight and obesity in school-aged children using population-based cohort

Our paper on area characteristics at birth & child obesity is out @BMCMedicine: rdcu.be/b26Ky @geodianna @GeogWilding @NidaZiauddeen @DebbieDla1 with a great commentary from @hobbs_PA & D Radley: rdcu.be/b27zV Let's now see what quarantine does to #obesity!

@hobbs_PA @FrancescaPontin @drshellm @alchristensen12 @JoreintjeM @jlakerveld @EgliVictoria @GeoHealthLab @Carnegie_Sport Many thanks Matt and Duncan - still lots to be done wrt how local environment associations evolve over time (what are the key periods), and the effect that environmental change has. Was a pleasure working with a great team @Dr2NisreenAlwan, Nida, Paul & @geodianna!

Watch this space. My #AMSLive video should be released soon. I put a lot of me in that talk, so hope you’ll like it!

Thanks Dave, was a pleasure to work on this together with @graham_moon.

My team is HIRING! Do you love working with data? Do you have a strong background in statistics? Are you interested in health/cancer/clinical/psychosocial outcomes? Apply for the Research Fellow role before 16 FEBRUARY to work with us! Link is below:

@GeogDave @UKDataService Wow, that was quick!

Thanks @markalangreen @socscimed for sharing. We ask: 1) How types of food outlets cluster? 2) If we need a focus on the multidimensional nature of food environments? 3) How food environments are related to change in BMI over time and if there are differences by gender?

@Dr2NisreenAlwan @nvpermyakova It went well! Only real feedback is that we don't have any genetic information. Could be a possibility of doing that in a pilot study.

@nvpermyakova @GeogWilding How did it go? 😊

@GeogWilding presented today at the morning “Public Health” session on how the place of birth affects childhood obesity - project led by @Dr2NisreenAlwan (sorry the pics are bad!)

@shackletonfc @MikeyLHarper Assuming it was a relegation 6 pointer?

Birthday clean sheet for super @MikeyLHarper in massive win for @shackletonfc over big rivals Team Wamo #6Pointer

@DrAlanSmith_ @MeganDaviesUK Congrats both!
