Thanks to everyone who made my years in Boston so rich and joyful!

Hope you enjoy it! This work builds on and was inspired by many Lowell lab alums, including @amdouglass.bsky.social, @mikekrashes.bsky.social, @augcsoup.bsky.social, Jon Resch, and many others in the field.

We discovered a population of neurons (PVH-Sim2) that rapidly activates AgRP “hunger neurons” when food is not present, and that is important for the long-term maintenance of energy balance. Plus plenty more!

What an amazing set of findings!! Congratulations!
