    Two fantastic PhD opportunities at Bristol to explore the role of eating behaviour in genetic susceptibility to obesity, & to find out more about how eating rate (how slowly/quickly people wolf down their food!) affects our satiety (fullness) & how much food we end up eating.

    Two exciting PhD opportunities at Universities of Bristol and Exeter "Understanding how eating behaviours mediate genetic susceptibility to obesity" and "Understanding the impact of eating rate on satiety, food intake and BMI".

    När gjorde utspel ställde sig journalisterna på kö. När deras nyligen avgågna partiledare blir dömd för misshandel och drar påhittade rasismanklagelser i sitt försvar så är det knäpptyst. Vilket skämt.

    I checked whether citation counts to the articles in the Reproducibility Project Psychology tracked a) whether they would replicate (pre 2015) b) whether they did replicate (post 2015) PS: Check how individual studies fared in an interactive graph.
