Several members of the TOPCHILD Collaboration attended the International Congress on Obesity 2022 in Melbourne, Australia during October. The Congress gave our members an opportunity to promote the TOPCHILD Collaboration and meet face-to-face with each-other and current/potential collaborators. The picture shows some of the team sporting their TOPCHILD-themed lanyards and making the most of in person catch-ups in the sun (beats zoom!).
