Why do many who successfully shed weight regain a substantial amount of it back? In my latest manuscript, I found that previously obese mice exhibit a persistent -- lasting at least a month -- uptick in hunger that promotes weight regain. 🔗+🧵 below (1/5) doi.org/10.1016/j.isci…

@drosophilosophy Awesome thanks for sharing! ❤️

jokes aside, old tim would tell slightly less old tim that it's always, ALWAYS about the people. do right by the people and you'll be fine. be honest. be kind. your worth is measured in the good works that you do and never, never, NEVER in how much money you bring an institution.

@drosophilosophy What advice would 2026 Tim give 2016 Tim??

exactly one decade ago. and if 2016 tim knew then what 2026 tim knows now ... boy howdy.

@silvirouskin Will be interesting when they post results! There is definitely a huge unmet need and I suspect problems in RNA metabolism are playing a big role…the reproductive aging community is super nice if you ever think of picking up a new research area!

@vancityflyguy Apperantly a human study has been published clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05836…

🤯My science friends who work on reproduction and are in their 30s are considering taking rapamycin after this study came out : reports.obgyn.columbia.edu/2024-annual-re…

Like many colleagues taking advantage of a raining afternoon to create a new account …

Briefly here to say that SciTwitter is really taking off on BlueSky. Even if you don't plan to leave X (kudos to you!), I recommend u create a BlueSky account. There r good starter packs allow u to bulk-follow folks based on topics of interest. If u need help ping me on BlueSky.

Latest research from the Teves lab is now out on Biorxiv! "Functional divergence of TBP homologs through distinct DNA binding dynamics" biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Here, we examine how conservation is balanced with diversification throughout evolution, using TBP as a case study.

Alongside @UBCbiochemistry, we had the pleasure of welcoming Dr. @SueBiggins from @FredHutch to deliver the 2024 Michael Smith Distinguished Lecture! It was great to learn more about her work studying kinetochores and cell division. A big thank you to everyone who joined us!

When I am feeling stressed this piece from Carl Sagan always helps puts things in perspective. Posted for no reason in particular. youtu.be/wupToqz1e2g

Excuse me gonna go run through a brick wall now

📢 Tomorrow: LSI & BMB Joint Seminar! Join us for an in-person presentation by Dr. Ron Kopito, Professor of Biology at Stanford University, hosted by Dr. Ethan Greenblatt. 📍November 1st, 3 – 4 p.m. in LSC3 and Zoom We hope to see you there!🌟

Woohoo, it's out! Our exciting publication in @PNASNews on genetic variants in kinesin genes that alter egg aneuploidy in humans. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

I highly recommend those eligible applicants consider applying for this transformative Fellows-to-Faculty award.

Check out our latest! Going from human🤷‍♂️to fly🪰to fish 🐟 as we try to figure out what makes some people excessively sleepy during the day - idiopathic hypersomnia💤 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Since the '50 largest neurons' #connectome render with @amyneurons @FlyWireNews has made it's way around the world, I'm sharing an animated version. Including: Information flow from the ocelli, 50 largest #neurons, and a LOT of #synapses on one MASSIVE neuron. #neuroscience

I am happy to share that I've begun my new role as an Assistant Professor @UBC in the Department of Cellular and Physiological Sciences @UBCcps @ubclifesciences The lab will explore the mechanisms of lipid transport and lipid quality control in organelles 1/4

@Junnan_Fang @OhioState Congrats! 🎉

Thrilled to share that I will join @OhioState as a tenure-track assistant professor in Dept. of Cell Biology & Physiology in Jan. 2025. We will explore novel mechanisms of centrosome regulation in development and disease. Hiring at all levels! Please help RT.
