Had a #fatchat w/@MaikenScott in studio on the @WHYYThePulse. It’s always a treat to talk about my fave topic more broadly especially when it’s important for all of us to understand how this really interesting tissue works. Take a listen and lmk if you have any questions 🤓.
What really happens inside of our bodies when we gain a lot of weight? And what is the relationship between fat cells, inflammation, and stress?
In this episode, what science is learning about obesity and the future of weight loss.

✅1st @theendocrinesociety mtg w/🐶🐶. We had a great time, learned so much & met so many wonderful researchers, clinicians, trainees & staff. Refreshing to see so much care on conditions affecting underserved groups + obesity, diabetes, lipedema. Will def be back! #endo2026
Our first @TheEndoSociety meeting, find us to say 👋 especially if you’re interested in learning about our 3D adipose tissue models! #Endo2026

🚨BIG NEWS! We created a collaborative #biomechanics mentoring program with our friends @LatinxBiomech & @IntWomenBiomech😁
Launching Nov 15! Join as a mentor/mentee or learn more: bit.ly/EMMP

We have adiposely outdone ourselves with FAT-tastic 🎃 painting. Nicole was inspired by collagen matrix + fibers surrounding the eye-dipocytes with an endothelial lined smile. Julieta went for a classic spooky face behind a well vascularized adipose tissue w/resident macrophages.
Trisha went for a more artistic approach to painting fat cells. While I tried my hand at our logo and fat on chip model - w/both blood ✨ and lymphatic ✨vessels carrying their essentials in the form of glitter ✨
