I was interviewed by Kevin, Darleen, and Kirk for the 7/26 episode of the ADA's DiabetesBio podcast. They got some juicy content out of me: how I ended up as a physician-scientist, people I met along the way, Type 1 DM, Hell Week in my frat, ghrelin..enjoy

2 yrs ago, I wrote the #ghrelinmurders, a hormone murder-mystery in 10 chapters. This became Book 1 of a Trilogy, which included The LEAP2 Conspiracy (Book 2) and A Deadly Feast (Book 3). I'm posting a chapter a day over on LinkedIn this month. Tomorrow, the killer is revealed.
