Had a lot of fun in the past month at #EDRC2023 and #CRSy23, discussing our scientific advances in metabolic programs at the whole animal level. Really excited for the next steps of the project!

I'll be presenting a poster of our work on deciphering metabolic programs in a whole animal #edrc2023, come visit! I thank @DMM_Journal and #DMMgrants for sponsoring my visit here!
If you are at the #EDRC2023 and are interested in nutritional control of behavior and control of metabolism I encourage you to visit the talk of @EzraGili this morning (10:45) in the neuroscience session and the poster by Rita Figueiredo (P382) tonight.
