New work stemming from an amazing collaboration with @addisonwebster0 and @AUGCsoup using a combination of rabies mapping and single cell sequencing to identify a GLP1R-expressing local input to AgRP cells that curbs appetite

Many Black scientists fall through the cracks during their postdoc; I almost did myself. Last month, 70+ @natblackpostdoc members met for the 1st time to strengthen our community.๐Ÿ™๐ŸพRT to help us reach new members/sponsors so we can continue to grow no matter the political climate

I am excited to share our new paper published today @CellCellPress (link:ย  https://t.co/6H65Nit1CI). This is one of my favorite studies and took ~7 years to complete. In early 2018, we started the project, aiming at understanding the neural plasticity of the Winner effect. 1/6

Awesome new work from @JanSiemens2 lab describing a molecular mechanism underlying heat tolerance thorugh warm-sensitive neurons in the preoptic! ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Very proud of our discovery: a heat-induced CNS plasticity mechanism that drives heat tolerance. I had hoped for it to come out 2 years ago, but I tried too hard with @nature and after several rounds of revisions they rejected it โ€“ see/judge yourself.

Inspired, tired, and full of lobster after the last day of #HypoGRC. Has been an amazing experience to spend almost a whole week at "Camp Hypothalamus" with fellow brain-homeostasis nerds. Now back to LA to integrate what I've learned!!
