I am proud to see the official launch of the Obesity, Metabolic Health and Cancer Research Program at @kucancercenter.bsky.social - a first of its kind for an NCI-designated or comprehensive cancer center!

Merci, j’en avais de besoin! 😂
#SABCS25 is underway! Julia Palmer, Mary Beth Terry, Kristy Brown, and advocate Stacey Tinianova discussed alcohol consumption, genetics of alcohol metabolism, and obesity during a special session on lifestyle factors and breast cancer risk moderated by Seema Khan.
Great turnout for the @americancancersoc.bsky.social Making Strides Against Breast Cancer fundraiser! Proud to be part of Team
@kucancercenter.bsky.social who already raised more than $11k for this event. Even caught a glimpse of
@chiefs.bsky.social KC Wolf!!
This symposium brought together investigators from Weill Cornell Medicine and Cornell University. So many familiar faces, great science and new collaborative opportunities!

Spent the last couple days back in Ithaca for the Intercampus Cancer Metabolism Symposium where it was a pleasure giving a keynote address related to our work exploring the intersection of obesity and genetics, and their role in driving breast cancer risk.
Running for hours gives you a lot of time to reflect. It’s amazing what thoughts keep you going: family and loved ones cheering for you on the course and from far away, how cancer patients keep fighting, and realizing that you are fortunate to be able to do this so don’t give up!
What a day!! The Garmin KC Marathon is the hilliest marathon I’ve run and possibly the most rewarding. Ecstatic with having placed 3rd in my age group and so grateful for the opportunity to push myself.

Looking forward to discussing advances in this area and having the opportunity to attend SABCS again!

Beautiful day for the Head for the Cure 5k to raise funds, awareness and hope for the Kansas brain cancer community. What a turnout! Looks like there may have been nearly 2,800 participants towards a goal of raising $700,000.

We thank John Newell-Price, MD, PhD, for his term as President of the Society. Read @endocrinenews.bsky.social to learn more about the accomplishments he has achieved during his service: bit.ly/4ei7QQd #ENDO2025
#ENDO2025 was such a success! Congrats to the AMSC for putting on a great meeting. In difficult times, it’s great to see us rally together for the future. A big thanks to Secretary-Teasurer Dr Boord for his leadership, mentorship and friendship. Excited for this next chapter! See you at #ENDO2026
Dr Sailesh Palikhe doing a stellar job presenting his poster at #ENDO2025 today!
Always a pleasure catching up at #ENDO2025 @garydouglashammer.bsky.social
Honor to meet Dr Holst and talk about broader effects of GLP-1 and receptor agonists. #ENDO2025

Some of us (me) have not yet perfected the art of mini finger hearts! It was a true pleasure meeting everyone.
Was so much fun! I hope they enjoyed it :)
We did it! 5k #ENDO2025 Fun Run was a great way to wake up ahead of a busy schedule today. What a wonderful group! Loved meeting everyone.
Get Ready for the Second Day of ENDO | Our team is enthused from the spectacular first day of ENDO! We cannot wait to host you tomorrow. Join us for a wide range of networking events. View our program planner and mark your schedule: bit.ly/44Gwwxw #ENDO2025 #endocrinology #EndoSky
Day 1 of #ENDO2025 has started! Meeting friends and colleagues, impactful presidential address, two forward-thinking plenaries, and coming up this afternoon…the poster of Linlan Qiao! Please go say hi (SAT-671) at 12:15pm and hear about all the great work he’s been doing during his PhD so far.
New single-nucleus and spatial datasets offer unprecedented insights into the basis of #obesity associated adipose tissue dysfunction and its reversal by #weightloss and are a key resource for mechanistic and therapeutic exploration www.nature.com/articles/s41...
I will be there!! Traveling to SF today for #Endo2025 ✈️
The AMSC put together an amazing program! Can’t wait to see everyone and get some miles in on Sunday. Also excited to be taking the reins as Secretary-Treasurer at the end of the meeting. Dr Boord, you have big shoes to fill!
Can we please go one day without another attack on science (and everything else)? Whoever thinks that keeping people in a constant state of anxiety is productive, needs to think again.

Where’s the 👎 button on this platform!
President Trump's push to freeze federal funding to universities has targeted elite institutions, like Harvard and Columbia. But many other schools are concerned that it threatens the future of research and development programs. nyti.ms/42N36hH
Congrats!
Morale in academic research community right now is whatever is below rock bottom. The uncertainty and unpredictability are overwhelming. The mental and physical toll on U.S. based scientists is significant and will be long-lasting.
