Sad that the summer conference season is almost over? Interested in #lipids and #lipoproteins? Save the date for the
@Kern Lipid Conference 2026, and join us in beautiful Breckenridge, CO, on August 10th-12th, 2026.

Senate committee endorses NIH budget increase, rebuking Trump administration’s proposed 40% cut Senators from both parties endorsed a $400 million increase to the budget of the National Institutes of Health on Thursday

If this is true, it warrants a big 'ol Blur-Song 2- esque "Waahoooo"!!

Ozzy Osbourne genome sequenced Genetic analysis of Black Sabbath star reveals he is more likely to experience hallucinations on marijuana and has increased risk of alcohol and cocaine addiction, researchers say

"Ozzy carries several hundred thousand variants that have never been seen by scientists,".... "It's going to be a while before we get enough data as a society to understand those variants." 🤘🏼RIP TPOD!🤘🏼

Kinda obsessed with the new #maxcoleman murial @cuanschutz.bsky.social

Fueling the Brain: How Metabolism May Hold the Key to Alzheimer’s Prevention A CU researcher is exploring various links to Alzheimer's disease to find a cure.

Thank you @CUAnschutz for highlighting our work on the role of brain metabolism in Alzheimer's Disease 🧠👩🏼‍🔬

But don't worry, we will get new "government funded" journals 👀🫥

Congratulations #MaryRouse on graduating yesterday, and for all your hard work!! 🧠 💪🏻

Can't wait to watch it with my boys !

Has finding for WHI been restored? #SWRH #WHI #NIH

NIH cancels its first and largest study centered on women The Women’s Health Initiative has produced numerous influential findings

I don't get how anyone can possibly be okay with ending the WHI. This study has accrued decades of data from 42000 women and it is still going. It helps to address critical research gaps that have been allowed to go unfilled because of durable misogyny and provides invaluable insight into aging.

Things are tough. So relieving the joyful parts of prof life:
This morning I remembered the time I was teaching metabolism 101, and posed the question, "What are the three main dietary energy sources?", and was met with a very serious "Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner?".

Synergistic reduction in interfacial flexibility of TREM2R47H and ApoE4 may underlie AD pathology BACKGROUND The strongest genetic drivers of late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) are apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4) and TREM2R47H. Despite their critical roles, the mechanisms underlying their interaction.....

Trem2 is more flexible than we thought, and likes to bind to ApoE4! Congrats #EmmaLietzke and #KaylaSprenger on your work! It's a privilege to work with you!! @cuendocrinology.bsky.social alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Here's my action figure! I didn't even need to "prompt" chatGPT to make the "unpublished data" folder the most prominent item 😅

Big congrats to #MaryRouse for successfully defending her Masters thesis! Excited for next steps on this project! @cuendocrinology.bsky.social @cupharmacy.bsky.social #LPL

We will not be distracted.
We will not be discouraged.
We’ve got our eyes on the prize.

And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve.

The time to organize is now.

Hopefully, both!!

Terrible and unjustified!

I am beyond thrilled to co-organize this FASEB #LipidDroplet conference with Mike @hennelab.bsky.social in 2026! Check out the lineup and plan to participate - you do not want to miss this one!! #lipidtime

This looks great!!

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social you need to get out and start rallying!

Came here to say this. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social this moment is ripe for you to be a voice of reason, we need more from you. An eloquent description of why you are working from home, isn't enough right now.

Thank you @sanders.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social for rallying us together, and not dividing us apart! #denver #fightoligarchy

He does! Also, who wants a grown up sized one for their next meeting/conference? 🙋🏼‍♀️

Big congrats to the first author @AnnaliseSturno for all her hard work 💪🏻👩🏻‍🔬💪🏻

Dear #RFK JR, "Riboflavin" is Vitamin B2. While I agree foods contain many unnecessary ingredients in the united states, please consider consulting a scientist to avoid spreading misinformation.

More than ever we need to talk about the importance of our "basic research" in public and political forums. Kudos to #AnnaliseSturno and @neurohassell.bsky.social for getting out there and sharing their work on fructose metabolism and Alzheimers Disease at #Denver #Capitol

Last year, I was overjoyed to receive an NIH NRSA fellowship to study toddler brains and caregiving effects on memory at Columbia. Last night, my grant was terminated.
