Congrats to Dr. Kevin Williams, recipient of The Obesity Society’s inaugural Xavier Pi-Sunyer Award at ObesityWeek® #OW2025!
He co-hosts ADA’s podcast DiabetesBio and is AE for Diabetes. At UT Southwestern, his work advances understanding of brain regulation of metabolism and feeding.

Unfortunately I don't think so.

He discussed lipodystrophy from 27.30 on in this video

I couldn't find GDF15 lecture online but he discussed work with Dr Fejzo highlighted here

Excited to see @stephenorahilly.bsky.social discuss the current understanding of GDF15/GFAL signaling.

Implications for feeding, cancer cachexia, pregnancy, lean/fat ratio.

Bonus: adipose imperfecta discussion!

Great visit from @andrewhardaway.bsky.social from #UAB

We learned how brain circuits in the central amygdala tune responses to GLP-1. Insights wibh implications for obesity therapies.

Topped off with some #TerryBlacksBBQ!

Big thanks to Dr. Derek Daniels (@docderek.bsky.social) for an outstanding talk today!

Fascinating talk on the brain circuits of thirst...Eye-opening to see GLP-1’s role beyond feeding.

We are proud of Omprakash Singh's new study just out in Cell Reports. Supported by Sepideh Sheybani-Deloui et al, Om's work identifies GHSR expressing SCN neurons as regulating food intake + feed efficiency at a single time of day, accounting for at least 7% of a mouse's BW

Love this!

Normalizing stress, anxiety, imposter syndrome, stage fright, etc. is so important. Even the best speakers and performers still get nerves….the only way forward is to keep doing it and practice, practice, practice!
