Hey check this out. I didn't do any of the work. But I appreciate the work and was glad to contribute a quote to this nicely written news story that captures the essence of the paper and makes the findings approachable to the public. @thewilliamslab nature.com/articles/d4158…

Thai Lab Lunch to celebrate Sepideh Sheybani-Deloui's Ethan Sims Young Investigator award from The Obesity Society.

@michael_krashes Jumbo Popcorn with extra "butter", of course!! I also enjoy when LEAP2 (my favorite GPCR antagonist) stalks GHSR. Cool paper, Mike & Co!

Do you like horror movies where the antagonist stalks their prey? What type of tasty treats do you eat while watching? Would you be more willing to put up with the jump scares if the food was more rewarding? Then check out our latest authors.elsevier.com/a/1mF0A3QW8SA5…

#MetabolismMasterclass with Tom Wilkie is Thursday 12/11/25 at Noon. @UTSWGradSchool

2 yrs ago, I wrote the #ghrelinmurders, a hormone murder-mystery in 10 chapters. This became Book 1 of a Trilogy, which included The LEAP2 Conspiracy (Book 2) and A Deadly Feast (Book 3). I'm posting a chapter a day over on LinkedIn this month. Tomorrow, the killer is revealed.

@omsinghneurosci Om -- Cheers to you -- this was a celebration of your recent paper in Cell Reports. Keep up the good work! Your work ethic is above admirable and we so much enjoy having you as an integral member of the lab.

Thank you, Jeff for the wonderful lab lunch! We all had a great time and so much fun together. Grateful for such an amazing team!⁦@ZigmanLab⁩
