Over the years, Gemini Research has hit the headlines and been featured in various news outlets, on radio shows, and in various podcasts. Our research tends to gain a lot of media attention and public interest – because the topics we research are of great interest at the moment, such as children’s eating habits and weight. However, as researchers we have very little control over how journalists decide to cover the research. As such some news articles are much more balanced and accurate than others.

 

You can hear our own summaries of Gemini research in our Podcasts, articles in the Conversation that were authored by us, and in the short BBC film clip presented by Dr Clare Llewellyn (links all below). We have also included the external news coverage for Gemini’s published research, organised by topic below.
