New from our group: the first study to demonstrate that irregular timing of sleep is a *stronger* predictor of mortality than sleep duration in the largest accelerometry cohort to-date (n > 85,000)!

Hot off the press! A recent paper led by @leigaombbs @PengLiBME demonstrated that circadian rest activity rhythms predicted #delirium, including postoperative delirium (POD) and progression to new-onset #dementia @MBP_harvard

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.

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.
