Great to have the opportunity to present to the final year @ucl neuroscience cohort alongside @ConfocalJones and Wanqing Jiang about our careers to date! A great reminder of how no career is ever linear and hopefully encouraging for future young researchers 👩🏼🔬

A new paper from us led by @ConfocalJones and co in human gut tissue showing GLP-1 and PYY secretion decrease with BMI and age depending on the site in the GI tract. The result of many secretion experiments by us over many years
Jones et al.: "negative correlation of GLP-1 [release] and BMI in the small, but not large, intestine. Increased aging correlates with declining secretion of both GLP-1 and PYY in human large, but not small, intestine"💡 https://t.co/Vvw3roJQJG

Thoroughly enjoyed my first @SSIBsociety conference this past week. Learnt a LOT about ingestive behaviour and felt very welcomed by the friendly crowd. Already counting down for next year's meeting!

Thank you @NatRevGastroHep for the opportunity to write this Journal Club article highlighting the work of Edith Bülbring on pressure-induced mucosal 5-HT release. I will always want to write about Enterochromaffin cells and Serotonin :P #ECgang @IMS_MRL @CamMetaboNet @BeyderLab

new paper from my group in @Gut_BMJ. https://t.co/5QLQ9ghjU1 which show highly enriched expression of a SARS-CoV-2 receptor in gut serotonin cells, potentially linking COVID-19 infection and increased GI symptoms, inflammation, high plasma serotonin and potential benefit of SSRIs
