So many lovely papers in here - check them out! Very grateful to be part of this network 😊
The #circadian clock & cellular #metabolism are tightly coupled. Yao Cai & @joanna-chiu.bsky.social explore a @plosbiology.org study showing how #glucose metabolism changes during the day in #Drosophila and how it is disrupted in clock & sleep mutants 🧪 Paper: plos.io/3Olm1M1 Primer: plos.io/4sUov2g
On March 24 & 25, WHRI leaders highlighted BC’s role in advancing women’s health research at the first-ever National Women’s Health Summit, hosted with @pwhrcanada.bsky.social.
A conversation with Danièle Henkel explored federal leadership in women’s health and Bill S-243.

Unless something wonky happens, tomorrow will mark five months of not being misgendered once in my new job. This sense of inclusion is a huge part of why I feel so comfy here, so please consider being equally supportive in your own work environment - a lot of people will appreciate it!
Can a single brain cell decide whether to eat or not? 🧠🪰
Turns out... yes. And we found it in the fruit fly.
A pair of neurons called SELKs (subesophageal leucokinin neurons) can drive feeding behavior in both directions. They promote it or suppress it. Here's how: 🧵
I need to work harder, I don't even control my office thermostat....😂
Looking forward to reading this!!
Preconception exposures of female mice to a panel of metabolic disruptors induce sexually dimorphic metabolic perturbations in their offspring
