Very cool study and excellent news for patients. But science can move slowly. 25 years from genetic ID of target to ph3 drug result.
Great for pts. One of the few drug targets to be discovered via genetics in dogs. Good day to revisit fantastic work from @EmmanuelMignot8 that led to discovery of HCRTR2 (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10458611/), and watch the tragic/hilarious narcoleptic dog videos (youtube.com/watch?v=jTj3a2…)
Launched today- the Weill Cancer Hub West -supporting transformative cancer research collaborations btw @UCSF & @Stanford. Honored to co-lead, with @longlabstanford, our team who will study the impact of diet on pancreatic cancer initiation, progression and therapy response.
Backed by a $100M gift from Joan and Sandy Weill, UCSF and @StanfordMed @StanfordCancer are launching Weill Cancer Hub West, a $200M initiative in team science to accelerate cancer research and improve care over the next decade. tiny.ucsf.edu/ppVRqt
“It’s frustrating to see the enormous political capital of the MAHA movement expended on actions like the proposed product formulation changes that have little chance of reducing prominent diet-related chronic diseases like obesity and type 2 diabetes,” Hall said in an email.…
Getting Coca-Cola to use cane sugar rather and ice cream manufacturers to stop their use of synthetic dyes are the latest achievements trumpeted by the Make America Healthy Again movement. trib.al/lks1Z4x
Many moons ago, @KevinH_PhD and I talked about a book we both wished existed. No fads, no weight loss hacks—just the nutrition and metabolism science. I’m thrilled to announce that we wrote it! Out September 23 @Avery_Books & available now for pre-order. penguinrandomhouse.com/books/671334/f…
Phenomenal lab looking for a postdoc in Salt Lake!

The "Based Mike Lee" proposal to sell off the American public's hunting and fishing frontier commons to Black Rock is so instantly and deeply unpopular, that it's amazing the Democrats are basically dodging the issue rather than maximally exploiting it.
i realize that everybody has their hands extremely full rn but it should be a way bigger deal that mike lee is trying to sell off beautiful, pristine public land
My brother has been digging into this more now. It appears the full plan is coming clearer and shows that its actually planned for a total of 120 million acres… The first phase already exposes the real intent, as most is in and around highly desirable areas of the Tetons,…
Congratulations to our trailblazing leader!
Proud to announce that Tom Muir has been awarded the 2025 Bristol Myers Squibb Award in Enzyme Chemistry and Chemical Biology from the ACS Division of Biochemistry and Chemical Biology. Congratulations Tom! Announcement: bit.ly/4dBxNtM
Congrats @cholsoon_jang Amazing work. Looking forward to pouring over all the details.
Congrats @HosungBae @Sunhee_Jung_ Johnny and co-authors for their work! @CellCellPress sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Suicide of a Nation. Top Universities like Harvard importing the world's genius into graduate research is how the USA remains an economic superpower. The self-inflicted destruction of our nation's power for domestic culture wars by fascists is possibly unparalleled in history.
Harvard is being held accountable for collaboration with the CCP, fostering violence, antisemitism, and pro-terrorist conduct from students on its campus.
