SUMMARY:New Food Solutions for Cancer Patients - study participants needed
DESCRIPTION:Help researchers at the University of Reading evaluate food products specially designed for cancer patients who are experiencing taste and smell alterations and/or require\, or have required\, texture-modified foods as a result of their treatment. Your input will directly influence the design and development of new innovative food solutions for cancer patients. \nClose to 70% of cancer patients undergoing treatments experience side-effects (taste loss\, bad taste in mouth\, metallic taste\, saliva absence\, sores in mouth\, vomiting\, loss of appetite) that may have a large impact on their daily food intake. \nThe main aim of this study is to design and develop new innovative food solutions for cancer patients\, taking into account not only their nutritional requirements but also their sensory changes thereby promoting eating pleasure. \nWe are looking for: \n\nCancer patients who require/have required texture-modified foods to attend an online focus group session\nHealthcare workers of adult cancer patients who require texture-modified foods to attend an online focus group session\nCancer patients experiencing taste & smell alterations to evaluate some food products at home over 2 weeks\,\nAll participants must be aged 18+ (patients 18-70)\n\n  \nYou will be remunerated for your time. \nThe study runs until 7 December 2020 \nFor more information or if you would like to sign up\, contact us at SensoryScienceCentre@reading.ac.uk \n

SUMMARY:Exploring Collections\, Archaeology\, and Empire: Creating narratives for younger audiences\, past present\, future
DESCRIPTION:Histories of collections present an opportunity to present inclusive narratives that are not usually part of museum interpretation. This is particularly true in relation to archaeology collections and histories of imperial collecting.  Recent reports (see Further Reading below) have focused on the lack of diversity across many areas – including publishing\, children’s literature\, and the curriculum. \nThis workshop will examine how collections histories\, histories of archaeology\, and archaeological artefacts and sites have been presented to children in the past\, and explore how new narratives could be presented in museums now and in the future. \nPlease register for a free ticket via Eventbrite at this link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/exploring-collections-archaeology-and-empire-tickets-131586728447 \nExploring Collections\, Archaeology and Empire has been organised as part of a joint University of Reading and British Museum partnership project\, “Narrating the Diverse Past”\, currently being undertaken by Dr Amara Thornton (Research Officer\, University of Reading). \n  \nProgramme \n\n\n\n3.00-3.05\nWelcome (Amara Thornton)\n\n\n3.05-3.20\nSarah Saunders (Head of Learning and National Partnerships\, The British Museum) – Current Activities at the British Museum\n\n\n3.20-3.35\nFiona Melhuish (University of Reading\, Special Collections) – Empire and Archaeology in the Children’s Collection\n\n\n3.35-3.50\nSue Walker (University of Reading\, Typography & Graphic Communication) – ‘They lived like this’ books for children: Marie Neurath’s collaboration with museums\n\n\n3.50-4.00\nQuestions\n\n\n4.00-4.15\nAmara Thornton (University of Reading) – Archaeology Books for Children: A Brief History\n\n\n4.15-4.30\nMichelle Keeley-Adamson (MKA Illustrations) – Illustrating Archaeology\n\n\n4.30-4.40\nQuestions\n\n\n4.40-4.50\nWrap Up\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Addressing food system challenges: Making interdisciplinarity work
DESCRIPTION:The Institute for Food\, Nutrition and Health (IFNH) is holding their 3rd Annual Forum online on Tuesday 15 December at 14.00 – 17.00 (GMT). This year’s theme is the importance of interdisciplinary working to successfully address food system challenges. \nThe importance of sustainable and resilient food supply systems\, capable of responding to shocks and disruptions such as the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic\, is widely acknowledged. However\, food systems are complex with inter-relationships between agriculture\, the environment and consumers\, and require approaches that are holistic and interdisciplinary\, drawing upon natural\, social and physical sciences. The Annual Forum provides an opportunity to learn about the application of such approaches in practice in different parts of the world and draw on the experience of the IFNH in applying interdisciplinary approaches to systems-wide challenges. \nThe event hosts talks from a range of speakers from the University as well as key partners: Joanna Kane-Potaka\, Assistant Director General\, External Relations\, ICRISAT and Executive Director at Smart Food Initiative (ICRISAT) and Dr Adegbola Adesoga\, Professor of Animal Nutrition and Director of the Food Systems Institute at the University of Florida and a leader of USAID’s Feed the Future initiative. \nProfessor Ian Givens\, IFNH Director says: “The Forum highlights research from the University and our partners and how this connects with work done elsewhere. We are very pleased that in addition to University colleagues we will be joined by two external speakers who share a common vision but approach it from very different perspectives: the contrast between an animal-derived foods and a plant-based approach to reducing childhood stunting will prove interesting.” \nThe event is free to attend. For more information and to register your attendance please click here. Please register by Monday 7 December 2020.

SUMMARY:Home-based reading study - call for families to participate
DESCRIPTION:Do you want to find out more about how your child reads? \nCan home-led reading and writing help close the COVID-19 learning gap that educators report especially for children with literacy difficulties or coming from diverse backgrounds? \nAt the University of Reading we are looking into it with an online study for parents/carers with children of primary-school age. We are looking for families of English-speaking and multilingual children of any reading level. The study will be open between December 2020 and January 2021. \nTake part by the 31 January 2021 to: \n\nReceive individual feedback on your child’s reading profile and expert advice with simple steps that you can do at home to help them improve\nEnter the £50 voucher prize-draw at the end of data collection.\n\nLearn more and participate at: \nhttps://reading.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/reading-activities-and-strategy-use-at-home-for-familiesc \nFor queries\, please contact the lead researcher Anna Tsakalaki: a.tsakalaki@reading.ac.uk
