Big day for peroxisome research!

Irfan Lodhi @lodhilab.bsky.social · 22d

Happy to share our new paper in @nature.com led by staff scientist Xuejing Liu. We report identification of a UCP1-independent pathway of brown fat thermogenesis involving ATP-consuming metabolism of BCFA in peroxisomes. #Obesity #T2D

Navigating #motherhood and academia:
Attending our 1st conference #ESEB2025 as a family with our 10mo baby.
I am disappointed with the organization for not providing childcare for <3yo babies.
Academia should do better for the ✨inclusivity✨ of (lactant) mothers.
See you in P03.148 on thursday!

Check out this great commentary by @bartolomuccilab.bsky.social and @johnspeakman4.bsky.social on our recent paper, that investigates the role of #foodinsecurity on energy homeostasis and #adiposity in mice 💡

Food insecurity drives obesity and adiposity, but how is unclear.
A recent study by @clemmensenc.bsky.social developed a mouse model for this phenomenon lnkd.in/d8pEp2qv

So, let me get that straight, we academics often pay to publish our own work, pay to read it, just to make some shareholders of scientific publishers rich, and now our publications are used for free to enrich shareholders of AI firms ...🤬

Because English rules for articles are so bizarre ... thousands of grad students tear their hair out trying to figure out where to put a “the”, and advisors tear their hair out correcting the drafts that result. Is this really where we need to be? scientistseessquirrel.wordpress.com/2025/02/25/i...

If our tacit requirement in science for English mastery went away, would that be bad?

For a long time, entering and succeeding in an academic career in the sciences has had a tacit requirement on top of all the explicit ones. It was no secret that you’d need to complete an undergrad…
