Supporting adults with learning disabilities to age meaningfully As people with learning disabilities age, their needs evolve, requiring more tailored support. A recent study funded by the NIHR (National Institute for Health and Care Research) highlights the growing demand for specialised care to address challenges like health, mobility, and social inclusion in later life. Families and caregivers are also seeking more guidance to navigate these changes effectively. It's crucial to develop long-term strategies that support ageing individuals with learning disabilities, ensuring their quality of life remains high.

🏆 Congratulations to Selvarani Elahi MBE at the Food Authenticity Network (FAN) for winning Food Defender of the Year at New Food's #ApplesAwards2024! The driving force behind FAN, over the past year Selvarani has been instrumental in developing a number of initiatives to ensure the future stability and resilience of the UK food supply chain: ➡ An online index for specialist laboratories able to test a specific food of interest against a reference database of authentic samples. ➡ An open-access summary report of the world’s “Most Adulterated Foods”, collated for free from some of the leading “horizonscanning” systems ➡ Explainers of analytical techniques such as principles, applications, interpreting results, and strengths and limitations for food industry Technical Managers ➡ A framework for UK regulators to respond to any future serious and endemic food fraud incident, includng organising a simulation exercise for specialist laboratories to practice and refine how they would respond to such an incident FAN is an initiative established to enhance food authenticity testing, mitigate food fraud, and ensure supply chain integrity. FAN provides a centralised platform for resources related to food authenticity, including testing methods, guidelines, research, and tools for fraud prevention.

🐘Conservation meets cutting-edge science LGC Biosearch Technologies is helping protect endangered African forest elephants by using genotyping—a technique that analyses DNA from their dung. By examining the genetic makeup of these elusive animals, researchers can track population health, understand genetic diversity, and create better conservation strategies to protect them from extinction. This advanced approach offers a non-invasive way to monitor wildlife and play a critical role in preserving biodiversity.
