I had a conversation today about the difference between "kindness" & "niceness" in leadership so I decided to post about it. The article & graphic explain why, as leaders, we should choose kindness over niceness. Kindness is about caring enough to push people toward greatness, even when it’s uncomfortable. It’s a harder path but better in the long run:

🎉 Great to see our new paper out in @DiabetologiaJnl
❓️We assessed if a precision approach to gestational diabetes improved diagnosis and prognosis above standard clinical measures

🌟 I’m excited to share that I’ve been awarded the @BFWGraduates Foundation Grant and the Elizabeth Slater Award for outstanding applicants! As a self-funded PhD student living in an expensive city, this funding is a game changer - giving me space to focus on finishing my thesis!

We are delighted to be planning a new study for 2025 funded by @The_MRC Experimental Medicine Panel which will improve our understanding of how and why #GDM develops in some pregnancies and not in others. We hope this will give new opportunities to prevent GDM. @LDC_tweets
A new study investigating maternal diet, body composition and metabolic adaptation to pregnancy will go ahead thanks to a funding grant from the @The_MRC to Professor @ClaireMeek5 from the Lifestyle theme of the #NIHRLeicesterBRC 😀🙏@leic_hospitals #WorldDiabetesDay #WDD2024 @WDD @LDC_tweets @LFKitchen

ALT An image of professor claire meek: “We are delighted to have received funding from the MRC for this important study, which unites teams of experts from Leicester, Cambridge and industrial Partners Lodge farm Kitchen and Perspectum.” “Gestational diabetes affects around 20 million women internationally per year and has a long-term impact upon the health of mothers and babies. This ground-breaking study will help identify new ways to prevent gestational diabetes, supporting improved maternal and child health in future.”

Interesting findings here! Especially when considering how we help women with #GDM in the postpartum period 🤔
New @uk_biobank paper on sleep regularity vs duration and type 2 #diabetes, in @DiabetesCareADA

One of several studies suggesting that regularity may be more important than total duration for cardiometabolci health

Thanks @djones_nutr for sharing your expertise in how to design, recruit and deliver clinical research projects. I loved how you highlighted the importance of truly ethical research, addressing under-representation of pregnant women in research & benefits of PPIE. #risingstar
It was a pleasure to be part of the @EASDnews Scientist Training Course this week at @LDC_tweets and to teach in the pregnancy session. Great to see so many researchers engaged in advancing diabetes research! 🤩

This was a brilliant few days. Thank you to @IMS_MRL @CamMetaboNet & @DDEA_Denmark for organising this event and bringing us all together ☀️☀️☀️
Last week, we had the pleasure of co-hosting a scientific networking event in Cambridge, focused on Maternal-Fetal Interactions in Health and Disease with @IMS_MRL and @CamMetaboNet.
A special thank you to all who attended and contributed to the vibrant exchange of ideas! ☀️💡
Ahh this was so much fun. 7 years of living in Cambridge and still discovering news things 🤩 (even better that we won the treasure hunt!)
Wonderful networking treasure hunt followed by dinner last night @ZoologyMuseum to kickstart our @DDEA_Denmark @IMS_MRL @CamMetaboNet event on #maternalfetal interactions
