Reflecting on growing up in rural Michigan, Jennifer Garner, the John G. Searle Assistant Professor of Nutritional Sciences, talks about learning "strategically applied stubbornness" from her parents and finding an unexpected path from dietetics to academia. Through mentorship and community-based research, she builds a career in food security, policy and science communication—grounded in care, curiosity and purpose. https://t.co/zIfIsterAp

🔍Can lifestyle modifications reverse nerve damage caused by metabolic syndrome?

☑️We show ketogenic diet+exercise improve nerve function, even after neuropathy develops

☑️Linked to shifts in inflammatory and metabolic pathways

[Mouse Phenotyping @NationalMMPC]

Glioblastomas are notoriously aggressive and deadly. New research reveals that starving these brain tumours of a key amino acid can slow their growth in mice—and may make chemotherapy more effective. A promising metabolic vulnerability.
