@inside_exercise @DHWasserman1 I am DEEPLY saddened by this news. Dave was a warm, engaging, incredibly modest friend. He was one the best scholars around in the area of metabolism. I will miss him very much.

https://t.co/FhyguL7GwY Happy to share our new article on genetics of lipoproteins, emphasizing size distributions, determined by ion mobility mass spectroscopy. Work primarily by post-doc Tara Price, in collaboration with Ron Krauss.

@EnginLaboratory @Cell_Metabolism Great work, Hugo and Feyza!

https://t.co/LuWUlyPFcv Happy to share our new article where we genetically mapped diabetic nephropathy and nominate Nephrin as a candidate gene.

[James O'Brien @mrjamesob]

This is very good. The best articulation I’ve heard.

https://t.co/wo1XjCfX1l Happy to share our study showing that Sortilin is the causal gene associated with LDL cholesterol in the SORT1 locus. Great collaboration w Alan Shuldiner, Brackie Mitchell, and Ron Krauss to study an Amish cohort. Kudos to Kelly Mitok for her hard work!

https://t.co/hyNr4yvpFH Great work by Chris Emfinger & Lauren Clark showing genetic variation in calcium oscillations in response to stimulators of insulin secretion in beta-cells.

@VamsiMootha Congratulations, Vamsi! I knew you would be a star when we first met >20 years ago.

This is the most scientifically grounded discussion I have heard about implicit bias. Banaji has studied many categories of IB. In all but 3, there has been dramatic improvement. But, there no progress on bias based on age, body weight, or disability. https://t.co/jg1KuO9OWX

Listen to these students describe how they “do” their writing assignments by cutting and pasting ChatGpt-generated text. Listen to the way they rationalize what we used to call plagiarism. It spells the end of writing assignments.

Funny! I had exactly the same fantasy!

[Alan Attie Lab @AttieLab]

I woke up this morning with a fantasy that Jackson gets appointed to the SCOTUS and when a big case comes up she gets together with Clarence Thomas. She is so eloquent & convincing that he breaks down crying, regrets for his awful votes and decisions, and then joins the liberals

[Alan Attie Lab @AttieLab]

About 20 years ago, we developed a new mouse model system to study type 2 diabetes. Here we review >100 articles that describe discoveries from that model, including some dramatic developments in diabetic nephropathy. https://t.co/Pttcw2xsAe

Here is the new normal on most airlines:
"No complimentary seat selection. Advance seat assignments may be available for purchase during booking and up until check-in opens. Complimentary seat assigned prior to boarding. No group or family seating."

@MelkamKebede @DiabetesAus Thrilled to learn about this!

[Alan Attie Lab @AttieLab]

Facebook’s new $12 fee is straight out of Don Corleone’s playbook https://t.co/miuL9POWzZ

Another study in our decade-long collaboration with Federico Rey where his group leveraged our genetics platform to connect microbiome Akkermansia with the production of immunomodulatory ornithine lipids. https://t.co/Lgjh9FzwJB

@FryRsquared Every person who [fill in the blank] ends up dying.

@lydfinley ... and the balloons end up killing wildlife in the oceans in large numbers.

https://t.co/jOL2Vfrsgq I just learned that our review article on Sortilin, published in August in The Journal of Lipid Research, has been downloaded a whopping 1,400 times. Congratulations to Kelly Mitok!
