Abusive bosses don't drive performance. They undermine it. 471 studies, 149k people, 36 countries: in aggressive workplaces, we do poorer work, collaborate less, and shirk more. Incivility breaks confidence and breeds resentment. The best way to get results is to show respect.

Fantastic panel with @GwynneMP talking about the power of prevention to improve health and the economy. One of the standout stats is that 40% (on track to reach 60%) of NHS currrent spend is on tackling preventable illness too late. #Lab24

My PhD paper is out! We imaged gut neuron activity in living, eating flies (first time in history!), and found a Gut-Brain-Gut neural circuit loop that allows fruit flies to adjust their ingestion bouts based on the sucrose concentration of the food! (1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Targeting gut endocrine cells is a logical yet challenging therapeutic target with small molecule GLP1RAs looming. Here the team @CamMetaboNet uses chemogentics to link K cells to reduction of food intake @MolMetab sciencedirect.com/science/ar… #weightloss

What does everyone do when the grant they were awarded is no longer enough to cover the price of equipment because of inflation? Clearly I've missed a trick, but the application asked for quotes, so I've only costed the price at time of submission. Small grant, no wiggle room.

Stress can trigger willful seeking of a starvation-like state in certain female mice predisposed to higher anxiety. Now published and downloadable here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1iyP-… Congrats to lead-author @haganK, @Oren_Amsalem, @andrewlutas, and the whole team. Feedback welcome!
What triggers anorexia nervosa? We find that chronic stress can trigger willful seeking of a starvation-like state in mice. As in humans, this was enriched in female mice, particularly those predisposed to stress. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 1/7
