Food habits in the time of COVID-19 – experiences and adaptation
In the last year, we have been able to flexibly adapt our research in order to react to the evolving COVID-19 situation. We collected data in both the early (first) ‘lockdown’ (May 2020) and then as the local restrictions in Aberdeen City began to be eased and schools went back after the summer break (‘post-lockdown’; August 2020).
SEFARI Gateway Update - January 2021
Before we discuss our new projects we must express our delight that in November one of the first projects we funded, namely ‘Conserving Genetic Diversity’, won the Innovation category at the Nature of Scotland Awards. This multi collaborative project established a world-first method to help understand and conserve genetic diversity in some of Scotland's most iconic wild species. Congratulations to all.

Is breakfast really an important meal of the day?
Data are sparse on how and why mealtimes, calorie distribution and diet composition throughout the day relate to appetite control and body weight. Most evidence has examined the omission of breakfast (breakfast skipping), which has been linked with negative health consequences.
