I think its time that the COREQ checklist gets updated... beyond the binary gender

Who knows but odds are MAHA won't actually clean up the food supply. We'll find out from @foodfixco.bsky.social, but I expect Betteridge's law applies and any U.S. push for better labels & reformulation will hit the same obstacles as in Europe, per @alessandroford.bsky.social for @politico.eu: 2/3

Germany lags behind on prevention 🏥 📉 Low life expectancy 💔 High chronic disease ⚖️ Health inequality Time to shift from cure to prevention! ✅ Evidence-based, population-wide action can save lives & 💶. New govt = new chance. Let’s go. 🚀 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The irony of researching the effectiveness of heat-health interventions with 35 degrees Celsius outside and the AC not working in the office 🌤️

'We might think we have autonomy over our food choices, but we are all heavily influenced by our environment – physical, economic and social' - @petescarbs.bsky.social

free: The Trump administration is creating heavy demands on European governments in many areas, which might undermine their fiscal capacity and willingness to fund health systems or new ventures, but diminished US investments create opportunities for European policymakers

Was told today that this graph would look much better with dot sizes according to share of voters ... so here its is :)

🧵1/ Yoga & Cancer-Related Fatigue (CRF): What Does the Evidence Say? My former colleagues at @uniklinikkoeln.bsky.social just reviewed 21 RCTs, 2041 participants, asking one key question: Does yoga 🧘help with cancer-related fatigue (CRF) and quality of life (QoL)? Here’s what we found ⬇️

Always a fan of network analysis 👍 Makes complicated relations easy to understand

🧪 What works to get people vaccinated? A systematic review & meta-analysis by Claire Iannizi, me & the team at Cologne uni on 49 RCTs on communication strategies to boost COVID-19 vaccine uptake. The TL;DR: How you say it matters. 📢 Let’s break it down 👇 #VaccineUptake #COVID19 #SciComm

Our team just came together to share common problems during the #systematic #Review process. We also collected helpful #tools and #tips. Maybe this is helpful to other researchers?

Ein Schoko-Hase ohne Gesicht? 🐇 In Chile darf der #Osterhase kein Gesicht haben, weil ungesunde Lebensmittel dort nicht an Kinder vermarktet werden dürfen. Im @deutschlandfunk.de.web.brid.gy gab es gestern einen Beitrag zu Lebensmittelwerbung für Kinder www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de/kinder-werbu...

Because I often resort to statements such as "climate change will exacerbate extreme weather events" and then @ilankelman.bsky.social corrects me, I´m sharing this useful resource here: www.linkedin.com/pulse/climat...

Respect to the young activists in the picture! And also: When will Germany follow the UK and ban junk food advetising?

The food industry learning from the tobacco and the fossil fuel industries... I'll give you three (or one..) guesses who's behind a PR campaign to intimidate scientists recommending eating more plants and fewer animals to save our climate and improve our health www.theguardian.com/environment/...

🧐Ein kurzer Blick in den #Koalitionsvertrag von #CDU und #SPD zeigt: Präventionsmaßnahmen auf Bevölkerungsebene werden ignoriert. 🌍Und das obwohl Deutschland im Vergleich eine geringe Lebenserwartung hat, viele Menschen an vermeidbaren Erkrankungen sterben (NCDs) und ...

Germany's 2024 National Nutrition Strategy aimed to be participatory—but what does that mean in practice? We interviewed 55 stakeholders to find out. Here's what we (@fsniehotta.bsky.social @annakaiser.bsky.social and I) learned about what makes participation meaningful. doi.org/10.1016/j.he...

Whenever I screen I start thinking that there are just too many damn studies out there... Also, I'm not a fan of covidence. Who else prefers Rayyan? #systematicReview

@bschuez.bsky.social betont im Public Health Podcast dass die hohe Akzeptanz für ernährungspolitische Maßnahmen wie eine Zuckersteuer 🍭 von der Politik beachtet werden sollte um die Gesundheit der Bevölkerung zu verbessern www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmpo...

I signed 🌍 Especially after reading the Sondierungspapier of the new governing coalition which has a huge focus on military spending and economics, taking away even more rights for migrants (#Familiennachzug #Bezahlkarte) and neglecting the climate. Oh and health is only mentioned 3 times...

www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... "Despite Germany's robust economy, comprehensive social welfare system, (...) its health indicators still lag behind those of other European nations." This article really nicely points out the different reasons for this 🤓

From a German perspective, what is going on in the US is totally crazy. I dont think I have ever written anything without one of the words below...

When you submit an anonymised paper for peer review: How do you deal with preregistrations? these would be under your name and show your institution... but they also contain really relevant information 🧐

www.experimental-history.com/p/the-rise-a... "Peer review was a huge, expensive intervention. By one estimate, scientists collectively spend 15,000 years reviewing every year." An intervention, the author claims, has failed. I think scientists should get trained and reimbursed for peer-review

🗣️ 83% of respondents believe that scientists should communicate about science with the public. 📣 49% believe that that scientists should actively advocate for specific policies (23% disagree). 52% believe that scientists should be more involved in the policymaking process (21% disagree).

Germany has no regulatory food policies because people wouldn't accept them? In our pre-registered survey study @annakaiser.bsky.social @raenhhadhami.bsky.social Vincent Brugger and @fsniehotta.bsky.social found: Thats not the case www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Disease is never neutral. Treatment never not ideological. Mortality never without its politics. (Anne Boyer- The Undying)

our paper out now: "E-cigarettes with little or no addictive potential might not be effective as a substitute for tobacco cigarettes; however, a high addictive potential would, conversely, pose a risk to non-smoker" #vape #smoke 🚬

If you cannot make it, the research that will be presented is published here: www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

The brilliant Kathrin Zangerl will present her research on the inclusion of child health in climate adaptation policies at #Cop29 tmrw at 9am Baku time. www.who.int/news-room/ev...

"We demonstrate how these tried and tested strategies are now being purposefully re-used in the context of vaping." Very important work - e-cigarettes are not only promoted for smoking cessation and the tobacco industry knows this (maybe more than some health researchers...) 🚬

www.theguardian.com/environment/... How can we decrease lobby influence in global climate politics? (When I know our national politics system is not equipped to regulate lobbying at all...)#cop29

I don´t have a driver's licence but looking forward to be driven around by my colleagues and doing cool research 🚐

Left twitter a while ago and now hope I don't get too addicted to this new platform.
