🧵Today is #PartTimeWorks day! I have been quite vocal in talking about my role as a Research Professor in a University being #PartTime because I believe #PartTimeWorks – in all kinds of jobs, at all levels. I have been working part-time since my son was born in 2012. @timewise.bsky.social

🐇 When it comes to food delivery, the hare isn’t napping - dark kitchens & online platforms are sprinting ahead while regulation lags behind. Can the tortoise 🐢 catch up?

Food choices aren’t just personal - they’re shaped by policy, ads, tech & inequality. Everyone deserves a food environment that supports health & dignity. Read @helenjmoore.bsky.social's #fuseblog after speaking at the #RightToFoodUK Conference ⬇️ fuseopenscienceblog.blogspot.com/2025/09/not-...

🧵 In 2016, we began our @fuseonline.bsky.social research into the consumption of energy drinks by children, and their damaging health effects. Now, that research has helped influence an impending government ban on the sale of energy drinks to under 16s. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Government ban of high-caffeine energy drink sales to under-16s underpinned by Fuse research This follows almost a decade of work led by @lakenutrition.bsky.social linking these drinks to risks for children’s health, sleep & education Have your say in the consultation ⬇️ fuse.ac.uk/news/governm...

Our latest report ‘Food, Health and Nutrition in the North of England: Inequalities and Opportunities’ has been backed by Hairy Biker & TV presenter Si King – the report focusses on how inequalities in the North are impacting diets and food insecurity www.thenhsa.co.uk/2025/07/poor...
