    You are what you eat (and we can tell!) (opens in a new tab)⁠
    What we eat has a profound impact on how our bodies work, and that goes for every living being from bacteria and plants to humans. Dr Andrew Parnell and colleagues have developed research tools and computer software that have changed the way that people work out what a living being is eating, and how that food affects them. These tools allow researchers to estimate diet from chemical measurements of blood and tissue without killing or harming the animal or plant. This opens the way to answering important and far-reaching questions about food science, climate change and even human history.
