Often overlooked, some endocrine-disrupting chemicals may be fuelling today's obesity epidemic 👇
Persistent #chemicals in the environment may be adding to the #obesity epidemic and, says Dr Tim Lobstein, are another reason why individuals should not be blamed for weight gain. ➡️ Read the #blog on our website here: https://t.co/pvYwkxtZrA

Last week, thanks to #AmgenTransferCiència & @fundaciorecerca, we introduced high school students from Institut Jaume Huguet to #immunology & #diabetes through hands-on ELISA to detect insulin. Guided by @JuliaZednanreh, they didn't just learn about it, they did it themselves! 🚀
