Very shocked to hear that David Wasserman has died after complications from surgery. Very sudden and unexpected. A true giant of glucose metabolism and a really great guy. Very generous too. A huge loss. RIP. @DHWasserman1

A new podcast is online with David Wasserman discussing Glucose metabolism, exercise and the liver. Prof Wasserman is recognised as an absolute authority on glucose homeostasis. @MouseCentral @GlennMcConell1
