Ethnicity, environment and health: Jason Gill at TEDxUniversityofGlasgow

Dr Jason Gill is a Reader in Exercise Science in the Institute of Cardiovascular and Medical Sciences at the University of Glasgow. One of his major research interests is establishing and understanding the connection between certain population groups and the adverse effects that a 'Westernised' lifestyle has on their health.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
