grateful to @ada_diabetespro for featuring our work on how the brain decides when to stop eating and for the @AmDiabetesAssn Pathway to Stop Diabetes award that made it possible. https://t.co/LSeFfQrDiY

Honored to be one of this year's Gerstner Scholars. Thank you to the Gerstner family, @ColumbiaMed, @ColumbiaPS, and my mentor Steven Marx for supporting our work on how the brain controls the heart.

[Columbia Medicine @ColumbiaMed]

Congratulations to @ColumbiaPS' 2026 Gerstner Scholars! Each physician-scientist will receive dedicated funding to support their research over the next three years.

@syk_net @adhikari @BrainCaRMA @Avi_UCLA @SternsonScott thanks again for having us! it was such an amazing visit all around!

[Sung-Yon Kim @syk_net]

Some pics from @cpnoct, @adhikari, and @BrainCaRMA's visit to Seoul. Learned so much at both SNU Symposium on Neural Circuits for Thermoregulation (and feeding behavior ;) + #icomes2025. Thanks for inspiring science, great conversations, and fun times!

[Alexander Nectow @cpnoct]

@pfau Spot on. Would love to host folks!

[Alexander Nectow @cpnoct]

Great @nytimes article by @ginakolata on appetite, also featuring our latest work on satiation. https://t.co/GkEIe3hq8x

[Max Kozlov @maxdkozlov]

Per source, NIH has been instructed to hold off from issuing ALL awards to Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, Brown, and Northwestern (including med schools)

Agency staff have also been instructed to not speak about this funding freeze to grantees and applicants

In the latest issue! Brainstem neuropeptidergic neurons link a neurohumoral axis to satiation https://t.co/GPuW2wJwOu

[Michael Baym @baym]

Terminating unrelated biomedical research grants because of political accusations before any kind of investigation or due process is an obscene authoritarian move that in addition to being unamerican, will weaken America permanently

Now online! Brainstem neuropeptidergic neurons link a neurohumoral axis to satiation https://t.co/AcJdwG4ek2

@NIH Indirect costs are the lifeblood of US science. Slashing these costs will not disrupt US science; it will gut it. Please reach out to your congressman and senators to fight this.

[Alexander Nectow @cpnoct]

Thrilled to share the latest work out of my lab at @CellCellPress on neuropeptidergic neurons in the dorsal raphe that regulate satiation. (https://t.co/1vc8wCNEZ0). Led by Srikanth Chowdhury, Nachi Kamatkar, and Wendy Wang (from Xiao Wang's lab). Congrats to an incredible team!

@lindymcbr @zhaozhilei @JessicaLZung @AnnikaHinze great work, congrats!!

[Lindy McBride @lindymcbr]

Our work on human odor coding in the Zika/dengue mosquito now in final form!

This collaborative work was led by @zhaozhilei with critical contributions from @JessicaLZung on odor analysis, @AnnikaHinze and Rickard Ignell on wind tunnel behavior…
