#Rotterdamers is this safe or are they just desperate?

How is maternal shiftwork in pregnancy related to child health? LongITools is at the Epigenomics of Common Diseases meeting in Hinxton, UK, with Irene Marques 🧬 and Janine Felix presenting work on maternal shiftwork in pregnancy & child DNA methylation, a potential biological mechanism.

I’ve become fascinated with urbanization during my PhD. Couldn’t be at a better place to study its impact on health! What do you think, can the Netherlands hit its limits?

Curious to know if exposure to natural areas in the city during pregnancy associate with offspring biological ageing? The 1st article of my PhD is out! #epidemiology #epigenetics #exposome #environmentalhealth ⁦Generation R⁩ tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

The LongITools project is studying the interactions between environmental, lifestyle and biological factors to determine people’s risks of developing non-communicable diseases, such as obesity. Learn more about the project: longitools.org #WorldObesityDay #Exposome

We've been working on a new video to explain the #exposome using a music mixer! Here is part 1 which focuses on making us think about what we are exposed to in our everyday lives, a bit like mindfulness. Part 2 out next week! #EHEN HaDEA

More surprisingly, in 2023, it still takes about an hour to get from Cambridge to London by 🚂

#BookRecommendation WANTED Looking for #nonfiction books in molecular science, #epidemiology, #urbanization, population health & related topics.

With worsening air pollution, wildfires, and heatwaves the gains made in protecting children’s health are being threatened. On #WorldCleanAirDay and every day, leaders must take action to ensure children have clean and healthy environments. #TogetherForCleanAir

What an amazing experience in Frascati last week at the LongITools Autumn School, hosted by CEIS Tor Vergata! With morning lectures and afternoon practical workshops, it was full of learning for our team and ticked off one of our project milestones! #knowledgetransfer #exposome

❓ Could our DNA explain the health benefits of green spaces? A new study, led by ATHLETE Research Project and LongITools investigates how access to green spaces might improve health by subtly influencing how our genes work. #exposome #EHEN longitools.org/news/could-our…
