It was such a memorable symposium! And thanks to amazing host!
It was such a memorable symposium! And thanks to amazing host!
New paper from the lab with @andrewlutas. Work of the amazing Claire Gao. Important read exploring mechanistic insights as to why semaglutide may work better for some versus others. Building on all the amazing research that has been done over the years. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Hot ones spicy level competition in the lab. Thanks to Ashley! We documented interoceptive sensations in our gut as spice level increases. The winners, no genotyping for a month.
Grateful for the opportunity @Hypothesisfund !

I wrote an Op-Ed about the government's attacks on Harvard. Please share with anybody who thinks these attacks help anybody. prosyn.org/PhWi74r?h=KyJ1…
New paper from the lab: Our teeth arose as sensory organs on the outside of the body of ancient jawless fish.!! Congrats to Yara Haridy and the team! Open Access Paper: nature.com/articles/s4158… News and Views: nature.com/articles/d4158… Background and video: phys.org/news/2025-05-t…
I find it amusing that these days the whole lab just leave in front of me to lunch without asking - I’m definitely the boss outsider now.
Thrilled for the Zhang Lab to receive the Whitehall Foundation grant to investigate the neural mechanisms of nausea!
Wow, wow, wow!!! The structure of human sweetness cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
After 21 years at my dream job, I’m very sad to announce my early retirement from the National Institutes of Health. My life’s work has been to scientifically study how our food environment affects what we eat, and how what we eat affects our physiology. Lately, I’ve focused on…
A powerful and personal editorial from Nobel laureate @ardemp: "I owe America my success. Today, its scientific future is in danger." Please read and share. cnn.com/2025/04/09/hea…
Basic science is inspired by curiosity, accountable to evidence, and subject to peer review. Politics should have no role.
R01 resubmission was a waste. 3 years of work. 12 percentile on first submission and now it will not get reviewed. Trying to keep chin up and move forward is daunting. This storm is perfect to wipe out early stage investigators.
Pitt to pause PhD admissions, following Vanderbilt and USC, because of uncertainty of NIH funding to academic universities. Who will teach and train US scientists for pharma and biotech? Should we import them from countries that do? wesa.fm/health-science…
Very honored to be selected as a Sloan Fellow. Grateful for my mentors, colleagues, and my lab.
I, and every scientist I've talked to, believe the end result of this devastating cut will be that Universities will simply pass on the buck to investigators. Many of us fervently agree that university administrations & bureaucracy should be downsized and reformed. This maneuver…

It is just so sad that the #NeurIPS2024 main conference ended with such a racist remark by a faculty when talking about ethics. How ironic! I also want to commend the Chinese student who spoke up right on spot. She was respectful, decent, and courageous. Her response was…
