Is increased hunger really a primary driver of obesity? In this Letter to the Editor in @nejm.org, Thorkild Sørensen, Mark Friedman and I question the widespread idea that many develop obesity because they overeat 👇 1/5 www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.... @cbmr.science

"To paraphrase Dwight D. Eisenhower’s aphorism: in research, planning is indispensable, but detailed plans are useless." 👇

🌟 Exciting News! 🌟 I am thrilled to share that my first paper as the first author, Food insecurity promotes adiposity in mice, is now published in #ObesityJournal #ObesitySociety doi.org/10.1002/oby.... #Foodinsecurity #Obesity #PhD 1/9🧵👇

".. most in vitro studies rely on culture protocols that create metabolic environments far removed from conditions that cells may face in the body" 👇 Great piece!

Full house! 🚀 Executive Director Professor @juleenrzierath.bsky.social opens Metabolism Day with an introduction to the center for our many external attendees in the audience and livestream. #MD25

For Danes 🇩🇰 Vægtdiskrimination er et udbredt problem. Både tykhed og tyndhed er i høj grad noget, man ikke selv kan kontrollere! Se, støt og del derfor gerne dette borgerforslag om bedre beskyttelse af personer med afvigende kropsstørrelse 👇 www.borgerforslag.dk/se-og-stoet-...

We would like to welcome you to our second International Conference on Brown and Beige Fat March 31st - April 02nd 2025 Top-class speakers, cutting edge research and respected experts will come together in beautiful Bonn. Registration is open! www.trr333.uni-bonn.de/batenergy-sy...

Grateful to @lifemetabolism.bsky.social and @sablesys.bsky.social for support to attend the 'Obesity and Adipose Tissue' Keystone in Banff and present data that challenge my long-held view that overeating is the main driver of high-fat diet-induced obesity in mice. @metabolcenter.bsky.social

Have you seen this obesity conference in beautiful Crete in May? Amazing speakers, amazing location! Hope to see you there!

Our new paper from @clemmensenc.bsky.social @metabolcenter.bsky.social is available online! I briefly summarize here our findings on the effects of short-term overfeeding in mice! We show real time energy expenditure data during and after overfeeding! diabetesjournals.org/diabetes/art... 🧵 (1/n)
