We would like to invite you to join us at the inaugural meeting of the ‘Diet and Health Tea Club’ to be held on 1st May in the UEA Medical School at 16.00 in room 1.02.
We are aiming for this club to attract researchers, academics and clinicians interested in the subject of diet and health within the Norwich Research Park. This includes PhD students and research associates. We hope that this club will foster wider collaboration and interest in nutrition within the Research Park. The format of this first meeting will be:
- a very brief introduction and outline of relevant interests from all attendees
- followed by discussion on the future format, frequency and content of the tea club meetings
If you are interested in attending please email either:
Ailsa Welch a.welch@uea.ac.uk or Sue Fairweather-Tait s.fairweather-tait@uea.ac.uk
If you are unable to make the meeting we would still like to hear from you, so please email us your ideas.

Time: 12:00 – 13:00
Venue: Norwich Medical School, room 2.02

Title: The impact of diabetes on employment in Mexico
Abstract: This study explores the impact of diabetes on employment in Mexico, being the first study of this kind that focuses on a country in the developing world. Data from the Mexican Family Life Survey (2005) is used for the analysis, which takes into account the possible endogeneity of diabetes, using parental diabetes as an instrumental variable. Diabetes, found to be exogenous for both sexes, decreases employment probabilities for men significantly by eight percent while the effect for women is smaller and not significant at the 5% significance level. These results are particularly important as they provide first evidence of the detrimental impact of diabetes on employment in a developing country.

The Community Participation in Research (Fulbright Visiting Scholar) Programme series hosted by AHP with other UEA and community partners, including Norwich Business School, is successfully involving a broad mix of academics, students, community group members and health and social care professionals.
It continues on Weds 22nd May with a workshop on ‘The Dark Side of Philanthropy: the challenge for governance’ with Prof Chris Mallin (NBS), Prof Rhys Jenkins (DEV), Dr Alex Stewart (Norfolk Healthwatch), Dr James Cornford (NBS), and Prof. David Horton Smith (Fulbright-sponsored Visiting Professor in Altruistics and Community Engagement).
This will examine how corporations and big public organisations can use good causes to escape close public scrutiny which can then seem like “too much bureaucracy”. Genuine good acts can have bad consequences, or even be seen as a distracting public relations sideshow. The workshop will debate what this may mean for communities to have more open access to evidence from companies about their support for good causes.
This event (as in all the events in this Programme) is free to attend and members of the public are welcome, but please do book a place by emailing sophie.bremner@uea.ac.uk. For more information, please visit http://www.uea.ac.uk/allied-health-professions/fulbright/workshop-2. The event will be held from 1.30pm to 4pm in the Thomas Paine Study Centre room 2.04.
We would also be delighted if you joined us at any of the other events in the series. Please see http://www.uea.ac.uk/allied-health-professions/fulbright to view the whole programme. To book any of those held at UEA Norwich, please email sophie.bremner@uea.ac.uk.
