GLP-1s are changing more than the number on the scale—they’re changing the conversation around weight, body image and what it means to seek treatment. Here’s what two #TAMUHealth experts say about the impact of GLP-1s on the weight loss journey: tx.ag/GLP1Convo

Drs. Hegemann and Nagel of German universities just won the #NobelPrize for discoveries that enabled optogenetics, a technology first used to study the brain. At #TAMUHealth, Dr. Yubin Zhou is applying it to control cancer-fighting CAR T cells with light: tx.ag/NanoOpto
Dr. Yubin Zhou sits at a desk looking at a computer screen displaying colorful scientific datan showing optogenetics in action. Light activates the cells, triggering calcium entry into the cytosol, as indicated by the increase in fluorescence.

Turns out, taking away cellphones didn't harm the school day—it's helped it. A year without phones in the classroom has traded constant screen distraction for lower anxiety, stronger social skills and kids who are actually paying attention. Full story: tx.ag/HB1481

For the second year in a row, @FastCompany has recognized Texas A&M University with the Innovation By Design Award. Texas A&M's commitment to public service ensures that research breakthroughs strengthen the health of communities across Texas, the nation and beyond. Led by Dr. Mark Benden and supported through Texas A&M's Dementia and Alzheimer's Research Initiative (DARI), the digital human is an empathetically designed virtual agent that uses artificial intelligence to help detect early signs of dementia through conversational screening, speech cues, facial expression analysis and biometric monitoring — helping bridge critical gaps in access to care for rural and underserved communities. The innovation earned Texas A&M national recognition as a 2026 Fast Company Innovation by Design winner. 🔗: tx.ag/Innovation26

25 years later, we still remember exactly where we were the morning of September 11, 2001. Today, we pause to honor the lives lost, the first responders, the healthcare professionals and the brave civilians who acted. We will never forget.

Damage can be done to skin in as little as 5-10 minutes of sun exposure. ☀️ Tanning may be trending again, but @TAMUmedicine's Dr. Laura Marsh explains that "bronze glow" comes at a real cost. Even one blistering sunburn can significantly increase the risk of serious problems later in life. Learn more: tx.ag/pCLoYqt #TAMU #AdvancingMedicine
