Out today from @ThePerryLab, our work suggesting how exposure to high fructose in pregnant mice or developing neonates directly affects neurodevelopment. In @Nature nature.com/articles/s4158… @MSKCancerCenter @WeillCornell funded by @NIH @NIH_CommonFund cc: @NIHDirector_Jay

It's official. I'm happy to announce that I have been promoted to Associate Member @MSKCancerCenter. It is sincere when I say that this would not have been possible w/o the incredible work of the members of my lab. In fact, exciting news about them coming soon. Stay tuned.
Maybe just moderate sugar intake? That's basically what we seem to keep learning in our work. nature.com/articles/s4158…

I recently suggested not pursuing this award. Mea culpa, but @NIHDirector_Jay @NIH buried the lede that the new DP2 significantly increases the per-year amount, from $300k to $475k. That's $875k more over the life of the grant. It means you could hire/do more & bank startup.
Respectfully, I would recommend against applying. Speaking from experience as a DP2 awardee (& Alaskan who knows the reference), the DP2 is a Bridge to Nowhere... (1)
Today we remember our founding and the principles that this great nation was built on, that although we do not always live up to its ideals, it is those ideals, especially the liberty that pluralism affords, that will remain a beacon of hope for a more perfect union. As Madison…

New work from @lab_mass @UniBonn @ImmunoSens out @Nature also shows maternal diet affects offspring macrophage function & disease susceptibility. Moral? We need funding for such studies. @NIH @NIHDirector_Jay @RobertKennedyJr @HHSGov Mass Lab study here: nature.com/articles/s4158……
