L is for Learning more and more about Lipodystrophy.
To mark #WorldLipodystrophyDay2025 we gathered some of the Rowett researchers involved in helping find a treatment for this rare and debilitating condition.
Here's to looking back this time next year at more great progress!

It may take a little longer to arrive up here, but spring is definitely in the air at the Rowett institute 🌤️ 🌼 😍
And not just in the garden: the seeds of ideas we've been germinating in the lab are getting ready to burst into vibrant bloom too.
Stay tuned here for updates...

Prof Alan Walker - @faecalmatters.bsky.social - takes his mission to help us understand what we know about our guts - and what we don't - back to the airwaves. Here he is on The Voice Of Islam Radio's Breakfast Show (from 33 mins).

Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater when it comes to food insecurity – that’s one message from new Rowett research exploring "food bank" provision that finds it has greatly expanded its scope in ways that can help deliver the Scottish Government's "Cash-First" policy. abdn.io/1ko

Two of our promising young researchers have been talking about their professional interest in exploring women's health issues and their hopes for the future as part of the University of Aberdeen's celebrations of #InternationalWomensDay 2025. (1/4)

It's official - the Rowett has not lost the plot!
From June 19-22 we'll be back in our usual Royal Highland Show spot - and with an even bigger and better marquee full of fun and tasty ways to explore our nutrition research.
We guarantee the welcome will be warm - and hope the weather will be too!

"I feel like my bread is definitely buttered both sides when I get to taste all these incredible loaves," says Wendy. "It's really encouraging to know that there are so many bakers thinking so carefully about not just the taste of their produce but the health benefits and the climate impact."

Man cannot live on bread alone - but we can make sure it gives us the biggest possible helping hand along the way. That's why @profwendyrussell.bsky.social, who leads our work on the healthy reformulation of popular bakes, was delighted once again to judge the annual Scottish Bread Championship.
