Do you tend to eat one thing at a time or switch between various foods on your plate? 🍽️ Recent research by Nick Neuwald, PhD and @KatKellerLab explores how consistent this food-switching behavior is within children across various meals. ow.ly/KCsM50R9hPA #pennstatenutrsci

Just submitted my phd dissertation!

I successfully defended my dissertation this morning!

My PhD advisor @KatKellerLab gifted me this beautiful 1926 edition of The Physiology of Taste as a parting gift from the lab! My cat Chanclas already finished reading it.

PhD graduation! I’m very grateful to have had such an amazing mentor for the past 5 years @KatKellerLab

I am recruiting a PhD student to start Fall 2025. If you are interested (or know any students!) in studying food parenting and obesity/eating disorders and want to get a PhD in nutrition, please reach out!

I wish there was a cure for the Dunning-Kruger effect.

I feel like the rapid rise of anti-intellectualism is ironically largely due to the education system failing. It’s shocking how many “educated” people are so easily manipulated, lack any media literacy, and gravitate towards every conspiracy theory they read online.

Spending the week collaborating on a research project in Phoenix! It has been such a great experience.

New paper! My research looking at the relationship between food switching behavior and fat mass change over time. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🌟 New study in Obesity! Can diet + exercise reduce impulsivity in adults with overweight/obesity? This RCT explores the brain-behavior connection. 🔗 ow.ly/w3Ec50WpPAv #Obesity #Neurobiology #HealthBehavior

The study I’m currently running got a feature in the news ! spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-ny…

When she’s not working in a library she’s vacationing to see them 📚

Surreal to be able to present research at Oxford University! My last day at the society for the study of ingestive behavior conference.

Getting funding for an ultra processed vs minimally processed food RCT and not controlling for energy density is irresponsible. The outcomes are a given if one diet is much higher in energy density. What are we learning from such studies that we do not already know?

Just found out there’s a lot people who believe humans are not omnivores. If you’re one of these people please explain.
