Proud of this work from our lab—led by my very talented mentees @JiaqiZou19 and @RiyaYerramilli—reviewing how manganese transport from the gut to the brain shapes health and disease. @Cornell @CornellCHE @CornellNutri frontiersin.org/journals/phy…

Very proud of this. Immense thanks to @BekerAydemir for barging into my office and telling me to “unleash myself” as I was writing the introduction to my dissertation, which became this nice review 🎓

On this fine July Friday, we know what you need: a discussion on ZIP family zinc transporters relevant to β Cell Function and Insulin Regulation. We are happy to share our review in The Journal of Nutrition! @jnutritionorg @CornellCHE @CornellNutri jn.nutrition.org/article/S00…

Tariffs & ICE raids are connected insofar as they are attempts to blame economic & social conditions entirely on the actions of foreigners while attempting to paint domestic enemies as a traitorous fifth column working with the foreigners to undermine the country

In rhetoric, this administration is only deporting "criminals", in reality, they are gleeful for the chance to go after people who came to the US as a baby and have done nothing but contribute positively to the only home they've known for decades. Fundamentally anti-American.

Seven of the cited sources in the MAHA report don’t appear to exist at all. “The paper cited is not a real paper that I or my colleagues were involved with,” Keyes told NOTUS via email. New on @washingtonsun from @emilyykennard and @MargaretManto notus.org/health-science/mak…

I've received additional confirmation, as well as an email I can share publicly. See the directive NIH grants management staff received from Michelle Bulls, director of extramural policy at NIH

Per source, NIH has been instructed to hold off from issuing ALL awards to Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, Brown, and Northwestern (including med schools) Agency staff have also been instructed to not speak about this funding freeze to grantees and applicants

beautiful story of a very intelligent, determined, and skeptical reader trying to confirm a key detail in a widely read piece of journalism and spending months and thousands of dollars to determine it's in all likelihood true bitsaboutmoney.com/archive/t…

You’re more likely to successfully emergency land a plane
do you think, given 100 chances, you could hit a 100 mph pitch *one time*? by hit i basically mean make contact. please discuss because i have $500 riding on this

In this work, we show how host metal transporter ZIP14 influences gut microbial communities and subsequent host intestinal permeability and metabolism, which may contribute to susceptibility to chronic disease (2/2)

Excited to share our latest work describing how sucrose consumption impacts systemic and intestinal zinc homeostasis, gut permeability, and metabolic outcomes. This was a great project led by Blake, Amy, and Trista! Congrats! @CornellNutri @CornellCHE frontiersin.org/articles/10.…
