22.01.2022 Thank you to all involved in making this conference run smoothly, and all our sponsors and partners for their help and support

21.01.2022 Don't think a mentor has to be a someone in academics or research. Think about peers or administration! There are so .many skills you can learn from mentors outside the field #DOHaDTrainee

15.01.2022 Marsupials are an amazing group of species!Prof Marilyn Renfree highlighting how these underappreciated animals, like the tammar wallaby, make surprisingly appropriate models for investigating developmental growth outcomes. Australia is fortunate to have such fantastic animals. #DOHaD2019

14.01.2022 Mum's BMI prior to pregnancy increases the risk of chronic kidney disease in the child.

A/Prof Kirsty Pringle, as part of the Gomeroi gaaynggal project, showing alarming data for when mum's BMI increases, the fetal kidney size is reduced relative to body weight, altered kidney function early in life in our Indigenous children

Her hard work has made significant contributions to understanding the economic outcomes and burdens of DOHaD on the world. Thank you taking us on your life journey into economics and biology. Congratulations on receiving this prestigous award #DOHaD2019

12.01.2022 A somewhat controversial thought from Prof Renfree, drawing murmurs from the audience - are we accelerating young infant growth, but increasing the risk of obesity giving them cows milk or formula that is similar in composition, which is equivalent to late human breastmilk as opposed to reformulating formula to suit an infant's age? #DOHaD2019 #FoodForThought

11.01.2022 What do I need from a mentor? How do I choose a mentor that can help me with learning new skills? Prof Deborah Sloboda giving amazing little nuggets of advice at the #DOHaDTrainee lunch session

10.01.2022 Longitudinal development studies are essential for understanding not just which brain regions are affected by pregnancy complications, but how these regions change over time. This may be a link for enhancing our understanding of the development of neurodevelopmental disorders. Ms Sofie Husen giving beautiful data using 2D/3D ultrasound for brain development, from fetal life to 2 year old, and behavioural outcomes in kids born following compromised development

06.01.2022 Dads matter too. This session dedicated to looking at and understanding how dad's health, genetics, age and choices contribute to a child's chances of developing a DOHaD disorder is going to be highly informative! As Dr Sarah Robertson has enlightened us, it's not all about just the spermatozoa! What they're packaged in matters as well #DOHaD2019

06.01.2022 Prof Yung Seng Lee presenting his work showing mums blood glucose levels at mid-gestation has a strong positive associated with abdominal fat deposition in female fetuses, but not boys in the GUSTO cohort! And this associate is still present at 4.5years old in children in the Singapore cohort, similar to other studies in Asian cohorts

06.01.2022 #DOHaD2019 isn't just for humans. Come visit Gotoh et al at P189 to learn about nutrients and programming in Wagyu cattle #health

02.01.2022 Does dad's prenatal exposure, and/or his occupation change his epigenome, that gets passed on to baby? Some food for thought from Prof Adelheid Soubry

01.01.2022 Amazing work from the Gomeroi Gaaynggal project, a simple and convenient way to share dietary information and suggestions via an app so expecting mums can make informed choices for themselves and their babies. The Gomeroi gaaynggal ArtsHealth project is doing wonders for the community, building support and identity for expecting mums and their elders. It's amazing to hear it being sought out for more Indigenous communities!

01.01.2022 Late breaking! Dr Abubaker Swaib Lule presenting his work on "Early-life and life-course factors associated with blood pressure among African adolescents". Very important data for this cohort. Well done! #DOHaD2019 #LateBreaking

01.01.2022 Most research on Intergenerational and preconception DOHaD outcomes focus on physical outcomes, but very little looks into mental health outcomes. Dr Craig Olsson is looking across 3 cross-sectional studies that span 3 generations to look for determinants for mental health disorders
