Nutritional and Health-Related Environmental Studies Newsletter, No. 14, August 2021

In the past six months, we have initiated new research projects, discussed research ideas in virtual meetings and participated in virtual conferences with IAEA-organized sessions. The report of our meeting last year on diet quality in the context of changing food systems is now available. Check out our new online data entry tool and body composition calculator and don't miss the opportunity to provide feedback on the newsletter and our Human Health Campus in our mini survey (page 5). Also note the groundbreaking paper that was just published in Science, changing our understanding of metabolism, based on energy expenditure data from the IAEA DLW database! Fantastic to see that it was picked up by NYT, BBC, Good Morning America and others. The preparations for a new Technical Cooperation Programme (2024-2025) will start soon and it is the perfect moment to think about new project ideas. You can also find information on the pre-summit of the UN Food Systems Summit and the international collaboration on nutrition and cancer.
