Changing the Narrative on Su***de: We All Have a Role to Play

Today, 10th September, is World Su***de Prevention Day. It is a day to pause and reflect.

For some, it is a day of action and advocacy. For others, it is deeply personal: a day that brings into sharp focus someone they have loved and dearly miss, or their own struggle to stay alive. For many, it is both.

So, today, I want to acknowledge everyone who has been bereaved by su***de, and everyone living with the pain of suicidal thoughts or behaviour. I also want to acknowledge those supporting someone they love through their darkest moments. Behind every statistic are people, relationships, hopes, stories; and lost lives.

This year marks the final year of the International Association for Su***de Prevention’s three-year World Su***de Prevention Day theme, Changing the Narrative on Su***de.

That narrative needs to change urgently.

🔬 Meet Hannah, PhD researcher in Cardiovascular Science

“I knew I wanted to continue my studies here.”

Now in her second year of a PhD at the University of Glasgow, Hannah is researching novel therapeutic approaches to target calcium channels in the heart, with the aim of improving treatments for cardiovascular disease. 🫀

As part of her British Heart Foundation-funded PhD studentship, she’s developed her laboratory skills while becoming a more independent, resilient and confident researcher.

For Hannah, one of the highlights has been being part of Glasgow’s supportive and collaborative research community. She’s also had the opportunity to teach and demonstrate to undergraduate students, something she describes as one of the most rewarding parts of her PhD.

From advancing cardiovascular research to supporting the next generation of scientists, Hannah’s PhD has given her opportunities to grow both personally and professionally.

Could a PhD at Glasgow be your next step? 👀

New research from the University of Glasgow has found that many commercially available baby food pouches may be more like sugary drinks or smoothies than nutritious complementary foods. 👶🍼

The study, published in Archives of Disease in Childhood, analysed 298 commercially available baby food products found in six large Glasgow supermarkets.

Researchers found that 60% were spouted pouches, with many:
• Having a higher sugar content than breast milk
• Being lower in energy and nutrient density
• Having a liquid texture that may not help babies develop the skills needed to eat solid foods

Just 8.5% of the spouted pouches assessed met all the criteria researchers considered important for complementary feeding.

Led by Dr Ada Garcia, the researchers are calling for a review of how these products are categorised and labelled, helping parents make informed choices in line with public health recommendations.
