- 1️⃣ 🥳 Thrilled to share that my postdoc work has finally hit the press! www.nature.com/articles/s41... When we started, we didn’t really know what PVH-MC4R neurons do in obesity. Are they still signaling or “dead”? (e.g., does the chronically high leptin alter α-MSH–MC4R signaling?) 🧵👇
- 8️⃣ Huge thanks to my amazing students Jessie & Charlotte 🙌 and to Stephen X Zhang & @markandermann.bsky.social from @harvardmed.bsky.social & NYU Center for Neural Science for their guidance in analysis, conceptualization, and making sense of it all.
