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.

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-1โ€™s role beyond feeding.

Love this!

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