pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3794… Happy to share our new article on genetics of lipoproteins, emphasizing size distributions, determined by ion mobility mass spectroscopy. Work primarily by post-doc Tara Price, in collaboration with Ron Krauss.
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3793… Happy to share our new article where we genetically mapped diabetic nephropathy and nominate Nephrin as a candidate gene.
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3791… Happy to share our study showing that Sortilin is the causal gene associated with LDL cholesterol in the SORT1 locus. Great collaboration w Alan Shuldiner, Brackie Mitchell, and Ron Krauss to study an Amish cohort. Kudos to Kelly Mitok for her hard work!
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3778… Great work by Chris Emfinger & Lauren Clark showing genetic variation in calcium oscillations in response to stimulators of insulin secretion in beta-cells.
This is the most scientifically grounded discussion I have heard about implicit bias. Banaji has studied many categories of IB. In all but 3, there has been dramatic improvement. But, there no progress on bias based on age, body weight, or disability. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Listen to these students describe how they “do” their writing assignments by cutting and pasting ChatGpt-generated text. Listen to the way they rationalize what we used to call plagiarism. It spells the end of writing assignments.
I woke up this morning with a fantasy that Jackson gets appointed to the SCOTUS and when a big case comes up she gets together with Clarence Thomas. She is so eloquent & convincing that he breaks down crying, regrets for his awful votes and decisions, and then joins the liberals
About 20 years ago, we developed a new mouse model system to study type 2 diabetes. Here we review >100 articles that describe discoveries from that model, including some dramatic developments in diabetic nephropathy. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Here is the new normal on most airlines:
"No complimentary seat selection. Advance seat assignments may be available for purchase during booking and up until check-in opens. Complimentary seat assigned prior to boarding. No group or family seating."
Another study in our decade-long collaboration with Federico Rey where his group leveraged our genetics platform to connect microbiome Akkermansia with the production of immunomodulatory ornithine lipids. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3675…
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3572… I just learned that our review article on Sortilin, published in August in The Journal of Lipid Research, has been downloaded a whopping 1,400 times. Congratulations to Kelly Mitok!
adobe.ly/3HCmUds I pay tribute to my former teacher, present colleague, and friend, Tom Record, on the last day of his 50 years teaching a legendary course in Physical Chemistry. Here, he shows what was known 50 years ago about binding of RNA polymerase to DNA.
After 7 years, our wonderful Shane Simonett is moving on to a job in industry. Anyone wishing to apply for his position, please do so at this link: jobs.hr.wisc.edu/en-us/job/5…
Post-doc position available. We are recruiting for a post-doctoral scholar to work on transcription factors that affect beta-cell function and diabetes susceptibility. He/she will learn genetics/genomics and beta-cell biology. Apply to: adattie@wisc.edu
