James Betts
@DrBSteamjets
Professor at University of Bath Editor-in-Chief @IJSNEMJournal
We’re happy to announce that @DrBSteamjets has come on board as a StudySetGo advisor. 🚀 Prof. Betts and our co-founder Nathan Phillips met just a few months ago when Nathan visited the University of Bath to give a talk about the future of #HumanResearch with #StudySetGo
@DrBSteamjets, @harryalexsmith (@CNEM_Bath) @kbowdendavies and Hawley (@McrInstSport) discuss the interactions between rhythms in human physiology and factors related to daily eating patterns, and how chrono-nutrition can target metabolic health. 📜 buff.ly/p9AFQlW

I’m looking forward to presenting some of our research on the effect of exercise on vitamin D at the Vitamin D Workshop in Montreal next week. vitamindworkshop.org/montreal-2025
Fascinating question — what seems intuitive isn’t always backed by data! 🔬 Love the “Why think? Do the experiment!” approach. Can’t wait to dive into the findings — especially relevant for fueling strategies across body sizes.
📢Celebrating the launch of the new British Nutrition Foundation comprehensive Briefing Paper: Diet In Pregnancy We are excited to announce our webinar series on Healthy Beginnings. Register now: nutrition.org.uk/training-and-e…
Hello July 2025 Issue! 👋🏻 Here’s your first chance to see what exciting papers will be featured in our next issue - follow our accounts to find out more! ✨
Spotlight shout out to our CNEM member Max Davis for coming first place in the Bristol Half Marathon this Sunday with an incredible time of 01:06:24! 🏃♂️⚡️… and still one of the first in the office this morning!! 👏 Inspirational!
Another good reason to exercise! The VitaDEx RCT demonstrates that regular exercise without weight loss positively affects vitamin D metabolism and status during winter. advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…
Feeling happy to have made a small contribution to the huge research effort culminating in this paper just published in @JClinicalInvest showing physiological responses/rhythms with regular bolus meals vs continuous grazing patterns jci.org/articles/view/…
Door signs for our new research labs just back from the printers - named after great physiologists 🙌

So happy to share the latest offering from the Wells Lab. So much work (15 yrs) has gone into this! Thanks to everyone that's contributed to this! JCI - Meal-feeding promotes skeletal growth by ghrelin-dependent enhancement of growth hormone rhythmicity jci.org/articles/view/…
@jclinicalinvest @cardiffuni @CUBiosciences @DrBSteamjets @Jeff_Neuro @AlfonsoMC_ @ZigmanLab A big shout out to the main man, Tim Wells, for being the driving force in pushing this important research in nutrional science forward 🙌🏻
