Had a #fatchat w/@MaikenScott in studio on the @WHYYThePulse. Itโs always a treat to talk about my fave topic more broadly especially when itโs important for all of us to understand how this really interesting tissue works. Take a listen and lmk if you have any questions ๐ค.

What really happens inside of our bodies when we gain a lot of weight? And what is the relationship between fat cells, inflammation, and stress?
In this episode, what science is learning about obesity and the future of weight loss.

We have adiposely outdone ourselves with FAT-tastic ๐ painting. Nicole was inspired by collagen matrix fibers surrounding the eye-dipocytes with an endothelial lined smile. Julieta went for a classic spooky face behind a well vascularized adipose tissue w/resident macrophages.

Trisha went for a more artistic approach to painting fat cells. While I tried my hand at our logo and fat on chip model - w/both blood โจ and lymphatic โจvessels carrying their essentials in the form of glitter โจ
