Science has lost a giant of physiology and metabolism. Vandy has lost a true leader. I have lost a mentor, colleague, and dear friend. Those of us lucky to have known him will remember his dedication and his (odd) humor. Rest now @DHWasserman1 We will miss you.

Specifically, we show that mTORC1 controls glycogen synthase activity in part via FOXO1-PPP1r3B axis. Fun collaboration with many labs including the Josh Rabinowitz, Dan Rader, and @Kei__Sakamoto @PennCVI @PennIDOM @BMBGGUPENN

Excited to share our new manuscript (led by ⁦@kaheaisu⁩) ⁦@jclinicalinvest⁩ Using a combination of metabolomics, tracing and mouse genetics, we define a role for mTORC1 in hepatic glycogen deposition and glucose metabolism jci.org/articles/view/…

🌿Honored to share our @NEJM Perspective As Kānaka ʻŌiwi in healthcare, we argue for rebuilding Lāhainā through an Indigenous framework for the health & well-being of our lāhui & ʻāina Mahalo to our team who made this possible Drs. Mālia & Kalani 🌿Please help us share!

Historical oppression fueled both the Lāhainā fires and the health care inequities faced by Native Hawaiian communities. Healing and rebuilding should be shaped by community voices and perspectives. Read the full Perspective: nej.md/3ZpyzmD

Have you thought about the impact having a home that sits empty most of the year has for locals? Unsure what it’s like in Hawaii - but in Scotland it has a terrible affect. Locals living in caravans because people want to have a 2nd home that sits empty most of the year.


I spent more time writing this comprehensive overview than I did writing my thesis 😅 but so happy to see it all came together. I hope it serves as a useful resource! DM me if you want a copy but don't have access!

This one kept us busy during the pandemic and took a bit of time.... but I am happy to share our review on #insulin action and hepatic lipid metabolism @APSPhysiology Congratulations to Kahea Uehara, PhD @kaheaisu for putting this together @BMBGGUPENN onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cp…
