happy birthday evolution....

Very happy to see this paper out. Capturing the discussions over a nice few days in Copenhagen. Sometimes face to face discussions are the best way to find common ground so often absent on social media. Kevin Hall Dr. David Ludwig gary taubes nature.com/articles/s4225…

Exquisite.

Ep. 22 Preview: "Basal metabolism is changing..." Full episode: youtu.be/_IeT4lGA9HI #lcl6 John Speakman

I wish people paid more attention to the work of John Speakman, who has shown quite nicely that basal metabolic rates in humans have actually been *going down* over time, while active energy expenditure has increased. Always keep in mind that *no one* is capable of reading and

No proposal or manuscript is ever perfect, but to be effective, it does eventually need to be finished. Nothing we submit will ever be as good as it *could* be and just recognizing that can be an important step forward. Perfection is not the goal. Finished is the goal.

Olalla Prado-Nóvoa was among our speakers today with a new approach to estimate neanderthals' energy expenditure #EAA2024 #session246 #Rome

Happy Labour Day!

Tonight in Parliament we passed the Bill to bring rail back into public ownership. This is the beginning of the end for the rip-off, privatised rail system. After decades of failure, it's great that we are going to get a rail system that puts the public before private profit!

Incredibly proud to share this work, almost 6 years in the making, out in Science Magazine!!! 🎇 We've known for over a century that eukaryotes of all kinds anticipate the seasons (think: hibernation, flowering, reproduction), but what about bacteria?🦠 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Hello #thermogenesis and #adipose folks, Ucp1 lovers and non-canonical lovers: Our recently generated Ucp1 and Ckb conditional mice will soon be available at The Jackson Laboratory: jax.org/strain/039540 jax.org/strain/039539

Between 800,000 and 900,000 years ago, the population of human ancestors crashed, a 2023 Science study finds. The results suggest there were only ~1280 breeding individuals during the transition between the early and middle Pleistocene. scim.ag/8hk #ScienceMagArchives

We received 265 attendees per lecture in the summer seminar series. Now, we have finalized the speaker list and presentation dates for this upcoming fall seminar series. We continue to look forward to exciting science and inspiring discussions.
