A study from @DanielKronauer's lab has revealed a new form of olfaction gene regulation that may be broadly shared across insect species—opening up a new window into studying connections between genes and social behaviors. Read a Q&A with the scientists: https://t.co/AkX9u2n2WO

As body weight fluctuates, fat cells—collectively known as adipose tissue—wax and wane. Mascha Koenen, of the #CohenLab, is studying why this oscillation wreaks havoc on the body’s metabolism, especially in the case of yo-yo dieting. Learn more in Seek: https://t.co/Mv9EbJHmBs
