Hi @barackobama.bsky.social, #MichelleObama: As you're back in the neighborhood, we wanted to invite you over (we're in the condo complex where you used to live). We can talk about attacks on science; but you might be exhausted and we can also just chill. Importantly, we have a wine rooster!
The world is a vampire...get yourself good colleagues. Thanks to @jonesparker.bsky.social for the invite to Northwestern and to Jones and @lbeutler.bsky.social for having me and @jamiedroitman.bsky.social over for post-visit dinner!
Even with all the advances, diabetes remains a 24/7 challenge for management. Hoping for continued advances. Would sure be nice if industry could remember Banting's selflessness. @jamiedroitman.bsky.social
Research is MeSearch (searching for our #ResearchDiets shipment; @jamiedroitman.bsky.social )!
Finally, to be able to serve as #SSIB2025 President and attend @ssibsociety.bsky.social with my best colleague, friend and life partner - year after year - is priceless. Thank you @jamiedroitman.bsky.social for your unwavering support!

Seeing my trainees flourish at #SSIB2025 is special. @ssibsociety.bsky.social always does such an amazing job centering the work of early career investigators.Thrilled that @basedownloh.bsky.social won the Harry R Kissileff Award for outstanding talk by a postdoc and we could celebrate as a team.
Reflecting on #SSIB2025 and my time as Prez of @ssibsociety.bsky.social. Thrilled to be part of this community of scholars focusing on ingestive behaviors. Kicked things off with the 🔥 Presidential Symp featuring @jfcryan.bsky.social, @ribeirocarlitos.bsky.social, Kimberly Smith and Suzanne Higgs
A tradition unlike any other...Paula Bazzino cracks open her geode - signifying all the hard work she's done to show off her amazing studies and intellect! Congratulations to Paula Bazzino on her fantastic dissertation!!! @jamiedroitman.bsky.social @uiclin.bsky.social
When the kids show that they finally understand (sort of) what their parents have devoted their professional lives to...in their own words: @jamiedroitman.bsky.social
From here in Chicago, Bear is scrolling through your posts and seeing snow in some interesting places! He hopes you enjoy!
Nice to drop into the Art Institute of Chicago @artinstitutechi.bsky.social and see Under the Wave off Kanagawa before it goes off display - with @jamiedroitman.bsky.social and @gtroitman.bsky.social Some others had the same idea.
Always great to return to Philly! Had the chance to pop into Monell Chemical Senses and see my SSIBlings @amberalhadeff.bsky.social and Will de Lartigue #ssiblingsinthewild @ssibsociety.bsky.social
My favorite figure from the paper? That's a tough call...but I'm going with Figure 8 - which tracks dopamine cell body activity to sucrose across multiple conditioning and extinctions sessions..but don't sleep on Figure 9 which relates the responses to behavioral reactivity! 3/n
