Hot off the press!🔥Our new @naturefood.bsky.social paper asks how have governments regulated ultra-processed foods? We find a strong skew towards voluntary & information-based (i.e. weak) measures. There is huge potential to expand scope & strength of regulation 👇🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Amazing read from #LatinAmerica colleagues on their research ventures and adventures. “The initiatives discussed illustrate how researchers’ collaborative agency challenges the boundaries of GMH in ways that conflict with the normative expectations of the DGH movement.” gh.bmj.com/content/9/12...

I do not work on the molecular sciences but this caught my attention, ‘mirror life’. “Experts warn that mirror bacteria, constructed from mirror images of molecules found in nature, could put humans, animals and plants at risk of lethal infections” www.theguardian.com/science/2024...
