How do you unwind after a week of great science and career development workshops? I went to hear the music of Led Zeppelin outdoors downtown Nashville with the Nashville Symphony!

@GannonLab showing us that maternal western diet causes hyperinsulinemia in offspring #islets2023. Very interesting that the effects are so strong so early and seen pre-puberty. Data are in NHP

Second Saturday every month (that I'm in town) I am a volunteer paleontologist at Fort Negley teaching visitors about Nashville's geological history and searching for fossils in the limestone. Seeing people of all ages get excited about science is rejuvenating!

Accepted manuscript from the lab out @MolMetab! The talented @ThaoDVLe and so many great collaborators show a novel Glp1r-FGF21 interaction that regulates body weight in response to high carb diets. Truly a sweet team effort! sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
