Maybe “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” as pre lab meeting mood music.

Your lab meetings must be a hoot. Are you reading “Flowers for Algeron” for your journal club as well?

New research in @BMJ_Open tells us that nutrition information dispensed by chatbots is notoriously unreliable. Three quarters of the time it is problematic.

Opinion | GLP-1 Experimentation Is Everywhere, and Science Can’t Keep Up (Gift Article) Millions of Americans are experimenting with the drugs. Science can’t keep up.

Nice piece in NY Times today about the myriad of potential uses for GLP-1 agonists. A few quotes from me and @danieljdrucker.bsky.social.

The progress in GLP-1 medicines for #obesity was not easily predicted. In 1998 @ScienceMagazine ran a series on Regulation of Body Weight, informed by advances in mouse and human #genetics Understandably, little attention to the GLP-1 pathway at that time #weightloss www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Chronic semaglutide treatment enhances the incentive motivational value of a small food reward and associated cue in male and female rats Rationale: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, such as semaglutide, are increasingly utilized in clinical practice due to their efficacy in promoting sustained weight loss following chr...

Excited to share our new GLP-1 receptor agonist study! Chronic semaglutide potentiates motivation for small food rewards and associated cues, but reduces intake when food is freely available—surprising twist! #GLP-1, #behavior #neuroscience #pharmacology 1/
