Such a great surprise to see our work being highlighted by American Society for Nutrition this month! This is what many years of hard work with many fantastic mentors can produce. So thankful for their support and so excited for what is still to come! nutrition.org/taste-percepti…

Had a great video shoot with Julie Gervis yesterday talking about her research in and the impact of #tasteperception in #healthyaging. Keep your eyes out for the video soon!

We had a fun day a few weeks ago shooting videos of scientists explaining the importance of their research on healthy aging. Keep an eye out! Sheldon Rowan Julie Gervis

Happy Halloween! Do you prefer sour candy or sweet candy? Check out this #JNutr article by Julie Gervis and colleagues, who developed a data-driven clustering approach to derive taste perception profiles from taste perception scores bit.ly/3aLqRe0

Such a *treat* to see our work highlighted by American Society for Nutrition Journals 🎃! Will be even sweeter 🍭when we learn how to use taste perception profiles to improve the effectiveness of personalized nutrition advice.👅

“We can all benefit from a heart-healthy dietary pattern regardless of stage of life, and it is possible to design one that is consistent with personal preferences, lifestyles and cultural customs." ow.ly/ylEO50GIm5O

Diet-linked illnesses are a leading cause of death & disability in America. Yet med students only get an average of 19 hours of #nutrition education over 4 years. I'm teaming up w/ Rep. @MichaelCBurgess to call for more nutrition education. rollcall.com/2021/11/11/mcg…

Today is #AnosmiaAwarenessDay to the many who had or developed impaired sense of smell. We see you and we are working to understand more … join us @GCChemosensoryR webinar to learn more #anosmiaawareness #anosmia #COVID #parosmia #smell #flavor #taste

Thanks #AChemS2022 for an engaging & interactive *virtual* poster session today and letting me present our work on #taste-related polygenic risk scores and fruit & veg intakes! ICYMI, higher umami (but not bitter) PRS may be associated with lower veg intake in adults🍅🥦🤔

Interesting findings now out in Nutrients MDPI indicate that bitter taste receptor genes 👅🧬may also associate with sweet🍭 and salt🧂perceptions, irrespective of age & BMI. How might this translate to dietary patterns? The jury is still out!⚖️ mdpi.com/2072-6643/14/9…

So excited to see our work on taste-related #genes being highlighted by American Society for Nutrition! Our peliminary data suggest bitter- & umami-related genes impact food choices, while sweet-related genes may impact #cardiometabolic health. Are you surprised⁉️👅 @JMHNRCA AHA Research

At #Nutrition2022, Julie Gervis presented research to suggest that #genes can shape our #DietaryDestiny. Determine it? No. Influence it? Yes. conscienhealth.org/2022/06/genes-…

Thank you American Society for Nutrition for this acknowledgement and for the opportunity to present our work! #NUTRITION2022 #NutritionLiveOnline

So cool seeing my thesis research in the real world! Thanks HealthDay News for taking the time to chat with me about our work & how studies like this may help us understand our eating behaviors. Bitter or Savory, Taste Genes Could Influence Your Diet usnews.com/news/health-ne…

ICYMI: Alice Lichtenstein joined the Dope Labs Podcast for a great discussion on the science of nutrition, with a focus on #vitamins, #minerals and supplements. ow.ly/jwSI50HYNTw

Happy Halloween! Do you prefer sweet or sour candy? Check out this #JNutr Editor’s Choice article by Julie Gervis and colleagues, who created an approach to examine taste perception (sweet, salt, sour, bitter, and umami) bit.ly/3TMbVBr

And just like that…I’m done!👩🏻‍🔬✨ Feeling so grateful for all those that helped me reach this milestone. Nothing happens alone, and I have been so lucky to have such a strong support network! #PhD #nutrition #taste

Excited to present some of my thesis research at the American Heart Association #EpiLifestyle23 Poster Session tmw! Stop by if you want to learn about some genetic factors potentially contributing to food choices & diet patterns!🧬🥦🍅
