We’ll be checking in before & after Mandala research projects through a series of short films. Here's a taster of the first film profiling our research with Change Kitchen, a social enterprise in Balsall Health, Birmingham... #foodsystems #healthy #sustainable
Fab team building day yesterday! Talked about research priorities, synergies across work streams, successful fellowship/research applications and how to be own authentic research leader. Lots to reflect on 🙂 #teamwork #economics #obesity @NIHRresearch @unibirmingham @HEU_UoB

The junk food rules will come into force at the start of next year when a ban on the sale of energy drinks to people under the age of 16 will also be introduced. 👌
