1️⃣ 🥳 Thrilled to share that my postdoc work has finally hit the press! nature.com/articles/s4159… When we started, we didn’t really know what PVH-MC4R neurons do in obesity. Are they still signaling or “dead” (e.g., does the chronically high leptin alter α-MSH–MC4R signaling)? 🧵👇

Hooray!! The first major product from the lab is out today nature. Small molecules that bind the GPCR-transducer interface change G protein subtype selectivity in predictable ways, enabling rational drug design.💥 Check it out! 👉nature.com/articles/s4158… 🧵👇

Getting a little stale gvmnt

How many years of jail time should one get for not including line numbers in manuscript submissions?

We're hiring postdocs! Come join our team.

Thrilled to announce I will be starting a lab at NIH until the next administrative disaster in 2 months time. Reach out if you're interested in uncertainty, disruptive science, reductions in critical workforce that ensure job functionality, hiring restrictions, travel bans & more

Excited to share the final major portion of my graduate studies with Zachary Knight ! In this study, we image hundreds of neurons in the first region of the brain that gets GI feedback during ingestion to understand how meal termination works. biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

New work from Nikolaos Chatziris describes a method for genetically tagging neurons that respond two different stimuli. biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

Thrilled to share my first-author bioRxiv preprint on the orthogonal TRAP method (X-TRAP)! This project has been an incredible journey and I’m excited to finally put it out into the world. Grateful to Prof. Zachary Knight for the guidance and for making this work possible (and
