It's always a treat for me to host groups of students for lunch at Lifsey House. Today’s guests had interest areas that were nearly as diverse as their backgrounds! One is passionate about rocketry, another has discovered that he loves the research side of the medical field. One is celebrating a cybersecurity job offer from Google while another is celebrating PhD candidacy and approaching the end of her doctoral program. One is a football player and another is a brand new orientation team leader on our @usfsp campus. We talked about what drew them to #USF, their interests, and even areas where we might improve. These luncheons remind me of why I love being USF’s president – students and the way USF helps prepare them for their dreams.

Researchers at @USFHealth have uncovered the first known function of an understudied region of the brain, revealing how it helps the body respond to cold temperatures and regulate metabolic health. The discovery could have long-term implications for treating obesity, type 2 diabetes, and other metabolic disorders. Rather than focusing on appetite reduction, future treatments could target this newly identified pathway to help the body burn and use more energy. usouthflorida.com/4rAXiCG
