1. Medicine is rapidly becoming an expensive hobby- working class people can no longer afford to become doctors given the poor salaries and huge debts on graduation. I am the son of immigrants - I couldn't speak English until i was 5-i was born/ brought up in longsight, Manchester- in the top 3% of the most deprived areas in England.

Using Mendelian randomization, we found 2-way associations between anorexia nervosa and morning chronotype, suggesting that in contrast to other diseases, anorexia nervosa is distinctly a morningness psychiatric disorder. @JAMANetworkOpen @MGH_RI Paper: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

Light is so important for our mental health! Our bodies want bright days and dark nights. Excited to share our preprint showing the powerful influence of light on a huge range of psychiatric outcomes based on objective light measures in >85,000 (!) people. doi.org/10.1101/2022.10.16.2…

“Asthma is an exemplar of circadian control in respiratory disease. Many of its features are under circadian control including leukocyte trafficking and airway constriction. Clinically this results in diurnal oscillation of symptoms.“ @JafarCain @Biochem_Journal

Today I received 3 emails. A magazine asks me to review an article for free. A national agency asks me to review a project for them for free. An editorial team asks me to organize a special issue for free. There's something weird about this job, feeding my daughters isn't free.

This photo is amazing. Here are the forms that nursing teams need to fill out for each patient on admission. Ask Joe Public what they want their nurses doing and it defo won’t be this! NUTS

The @DUK_research Diabetes Research Steering Groups are delivering!
This year, we've partnered with more organisations than ever before to co-fund research - we're delighted that so many share our vision of a world where diabetes can do no harm.

Anecdotally closed loop pumps can be transformative for sleep - yet not all studies show this. Work led by Dr Hood Thabit in older adults living w #T1D is one such paper. We now need to understand this further. #sleep @RutterMK @_RomanHovorka @ckboughton dom-pubs.onlinelibrary.wiley…

New pre-print available: "Violation of the constant genetic effect assumption can result in biased estimates for non-linear Mendelian randomization" available at medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…. An update that no scientist ever wants to give. Thread follows:
