This is breathtaking complacency.
"the chief executive of UK Biobank, said: “We have never seen any evidence of any UK Biobank participant being re-identified by others.”
Not good enough. Resign, if that's all the care you have for our data. #ukbiobank #health

🧠 What happens inside our brains as we age?
Researcher Fatemeh (Simeen) Tabassi Mofrad analysed 46,000+ MRI scans to map brain ageing—revealing why some regions are more vulnerable than others.

Overview of the analyses. Top panel: Latent dimensions were searched using RCCA, linking cortical thickness and gray matter volume measures (parcel-wise across the whole brain cortex) with a wide set of risk factors for non-communicable diseases. Bottom panel: In order to interpret the latent dimension, the brain loadings were compared with several brain features. Created in BioRender.

Does war trauma leave a lasting imprint on civilians’ brains🧠?
We analyzed ~40k MRIs in the #UKBiobank, including ~6k of people born during WWII. Those exposed to close bombings in-utero show differences in brain structure, even decades later.

People who consumed excess free sugar, starch, and animal protein had increased #Type2Diabetes risk, regardless of total calories.
For those people, substituting with non-free sugar and plant protein could reduce the risk.
