I was interviewed by Kevin, Darleen, and Kirk for the 7/26 episode of the ADA's DiabetesBio podcast. They got some juicy content out of me: how I ended up as a physician-scientist, people I met along the way, Type 1 DM, Hell Week in my frat, ghrelin..enjoy
The lab's latest work is online - it is the story of the protein DEPP1. Thanks to co-first authors Sepideh Sheybani-Deloui and @oceankripa and many others who contributed substantively to this ghrelin-adjacent story.

Hear ye. Hear ye. the 7th installment of #MetabolismMasterclass for the 2025-2026 School Year is nigh. In other words -- it's almost time for Dr. R to speak - Thursday Mar 12 at Noon. See you there.
Hey check this out. I didn't do any of the work. But I appreciate the work and was glad to contribute a quote to this nicely written news story that captures the essence of the paper and makes the findings approachable to the public. @thewilliamslab
