Do daylight saving time clock changes affect our health? 🕰️ Our new study, published today in @bmj.com, using GP and hospital data for England, found that the autumn clock change may be beneficial for our health. #BMJChristmas bmjgroup.com/autumn-clock...

As the clocks changed last weekend, the Daily Mail published an article about the health impacts of these twice-yearly changes, including an interview with IEU's @meldelange.bsky.social www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/...

Had an inspiring and rewarding week at LSHTM doing a deep dive into the study of cancer survival. Grateful for the opportunity to learn from experts in the field and connect with others passionate about improving cancer outcomes.

So glad I stayed til the end of #SER2025 Really inspiring session on how to combine advocacy and academic research.

Fascinating day yesterday learning about US electronic health records at the Society for Epidemiologic Research Conference in Boston. Hoping the weather improves! ☔️

Thrilled to share I’ve been awarded a Wellcome Transition Fellowship 🎉 From Oct I’ll spend 6 months developing research ideas using electronic health records to study breast cancer 👩‍💻 📉 Also excited to work with the LSHTM Beyond Cancer group 🩺📊 #WellcomeTrust #BreastCancer #EHR

Our study is in the news: Heavy and painful periods are linked to missing school and lower GCSE results - something that anyone who menstruates could probably already tell you, but that is largely not discussed or ignored. Well done to Gemma Sawyer @uob-ieu.bsky.social who did all the hard work
