SUMMARY:Essential minerals in milk: their variation and nutritional implications hybrid event
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Institute for Food\, Nutrition and Health’s hybrid event “Essential minerals in milk: their variation and nutritional implications” showcases the results from the EIT Food project NUTRIMILK\, an investigation of the variation in macrominerals and trace elements in retail milk throughout the year and the nutritional implications for consumers. The hybrid event will take place on Friday 16 December at 12.00 – 14.00\, in-person at the Frank Parkinson room\, Agriculture Building\, University of Reading\, as well as live online via MS Teams\, and includes two parts: \n\n12:00-13:00 (hybrid). Presentation: Macrominerals and trace elements in cows’ retail milk: seasonal variation and implications for consumer nutrition\, by Dr Sokratis Stergiadis\, Associate Professor at the University of Reading\n13:00-14:00 (in-person only). Networking and lunch: Tea/coffee and lunch will be provided for those who will be able to attend in-person at the Frank Parkinson room.\n\nThe attendance is free but registration for both\, in-person and online is required. Deadline for registration is Monday 12 December 17:00 GMT. \nTo register your attendance\, please visit our webinar Eventbrite page. Please feel free to share the invitation within your professional networks. \nAbstract: Milk is an important dietary source of essential macrominerals and trace elements (Ca\, I\, P\, Zn\, K\, Se\, Mg\, Na)\, but there is substantial seasonal variation in their concentrations because of different feeding management between seasons. This large variation may increase the risk of nutrient imbalances throughout the year\, particularly in demographics with higher requirements (toddlers\, children\, pregnant/nursing women). Farm-to-fork interventions can improve consistency in mineral composition but the seasonal and production systems’ variation of the retail milk mineral profile is unknown\, thus making it difficult for the food and livestock industry to identify the potential risks to nutrient supply. This project study will investigate the seasonal variation in macromineral and trace element concentrations of milk from conventional and organic dairy systems\, and assess the impact on mineral intakes of the different demographics across the year. Results can be used to inform food-chain interventions for optimum milk mineral contents.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”25792″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Natural History Museum Research Open Day
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday 2 November\, 10:00-16:00\, Palmer building\, Whiteknights campus \nResearch colleagues are invited to attend an open day to learn how the University and Natural History Museum are aiming to develop research and training together. \nThe University and Natural History Museum will jointly launch the first phase of a long-term research collaboration. They will present initial ideas on how we might develop research and training together\, as well as using the day as a forum for seeking others’ ideas. \nThe collaboration provides significant opportunities for researchers in all disciplines\, whether it be new arts research\, ensuring food security\, tracking genetic responses to climate change or the emergence and spread of infectious diseases. While a link to natural history and/or the NHM collections will be a requirement\, work could involve any discipline. \nAs well as anticipating partnerships across Reading’s scientific research themes\, the Museum’s researchers are enthusiastic about Reading’s expertise in creative approaches to collections and their histories and engagement with intangible cultural heritage. \nSenior figures at the University will be joined at the event by members of the Museum’s senior leadership\, researchers\, laboratory heads and members of their digital\, data and informatics team. \nPlans to move 28 million specimens and research capability to the University’s Thames Valley Science Park were announced in May 2022. Its potential scope is across all NHM collections and research. \nReserve your place \nOpen to University of Reading colleagues only. \nPlease note that spaces are limited so please book your place by 12pm Wednesday 19th October using this online form.

SUMMARY:Reading Emotions Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the eleventh Reading Emotions meeting. This year\, we focus on the topic of exposure and avoidance: from the brain to the clinic. \nLearning to avoid potential threats is key to survival\, but it can become maladaptive when the perceived danger is objectively low or even absent. Exposure-based therapies aim to counteract flawed associations between intrinsically safe situations and imagined dangerous outcomes by repeatedly exposing an individual to the objects or situations that elicit fear. Exposure therapy can be effective in alleviating symptoms\, including safety and avoidance behaviours. However\, it often does not lead to full remission\, and relapse after treatment is common. This symposium brings together leading neuroscientists and researchers in psychopathology to discuss exposure and threat avoidance\, from the brain to the clinic. \nConfirmed speakers \n\nMichelle Craske (UCLA)\nDrew Fox (California)\nAngela Roberts (Cambridge)\nKarin Roelofs (Radboud)\nBram Vervliet (KU Leuven)\nPolly Waite (Reading and Oxford)\n\nAttendance is free\, but early registration is recommended. \nFor more information please visit: https://sites.google.com/site/readingemotions/ \nTo book your place please visit: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/reading-emotions-2022-tickets-306322949187
