"Is🥓bad for you?" 📜Science exists to answer questions. If a question is vague and lame, then so are the results. Nutrition is among *the worst* fields for perpetuating poorly posed questions. BUT we can improve, TODAY! Our new editorial maps how: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38992167/

I participated in a debate about GLP1s and obesity last week. Things went a bit off the rails (story below), but it was good to engage with people who have a different point of view. nytimes.com/2024/11/08/wel…

Big thanks to Zachary Knight, Dana Small, Kara Marshall, and HHMI | Janelia for an incredible meeting on the sensory biology of ingestion! 🍔🧠👃🏼👅Inspiring, insightful, and a true highlight🤩! Hoping this is the first of many🤞🏼! #feeding #sensorybiology

There is a widespread myth that the obesity epidemic started in or around 1980. This is based on a misunderstanding of the relationship between body fat percentage and BMI, which is used to classify someone as "obese". 🧵

Does loss of GIPR signaling sensitize GLP-1R+ neurons, enhancing the actions of GLP-1R agonists? New data from Randy J. Seeley, Ph.D. University of Michigan Molecular Metabolism UMich Diabetes Cntr sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

📣 We are excited to launch this year’s CCMN Lecture Series with Dr. Zachary Knight (UCSF)! Join us to learn about his latest work on: In vivo imaging of brainstem neurons in response to nutrient intake 🗓️ Wednesday, Dec 4, 2024 🕐 13:00 📍 H O Schild Lecture Theatre

New work stemming from an amazing collaboration with addison_webster and John Campbell using a combination of rabies mapping and single cell sequencing to identify a GLP1R-expressing local input to AgRP cells that curbs appetite rdcu.be/d2gB5

Thrilled to share our new paper in nature - "Understanding the neural code of stress to control anhedonia." A wonderful team effort with Frances Xia, Valeria Fascianelli and Stefano Fusi. Check out the thread below. nature.com/articles/s4158…

When did the taste of the scientific community changed from liking simple elegant experiments to preferring complicated and expensive experiments?

Congrats to Alejandro Lopez Cruz in Zachary Knight lab, and all of the new HHMI Hanna Gray fellows! hhmi.news/4gIsZU5

Congrats on this well-deserved recognition!

Amazing short article by Maxwell Tabarrok on the unlikelikhood of AI taking all human jobs: maximum-progress.com/p/agi-will-not… I'll leave with something catty: before you get to speculating on economic effects of various changes, please have your basic economics knowledge in check. Lots of

No one will be surprised to know that DeepSeek has the same LLM propensity to BS/confabulate as its cousins and ancestors. However, reading the simple, verbose, and transparent “reasoning” behind each new confabulation makes this pitfall all the more apparent. Query: “What is

A huge loss for NIH and science in general

I’m so excited to share our preprint on how brainstem neurons sense and integrate multiple body signals during food consumption. We imaged 1000s of neurons across the lateral parabrachial nucleus (LPBN) in behaving mice. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
