Day 1 of our new Endocrinology Practice in sunny San Mateo! Grateful for the collaborative spirit. Dr. Myat Soe and I were there today with commutes of 10 min each & free parking! UCSF Health Endocrinology and Diabetes will now see you on the peninsula!

Just chaired, with Lisa Morselli (MCW), a cool session #ENDO2025 on cardiometabolic health in people with HIV. Steve Grinspoon (MGH) on mechanistic benefits of statins; Celestine Wanjalla (Vandy) on pathologic T cells; & Heidi Crane (UW) on clinical management. @endocrinesociety.bsky.social

Wonderful event last night in Downtown San Francisco for all our UCSF endocrinology faculty, fellows, and fellowship alumni. Wonderful to see so many amazing friends and colleagues from across the last 50 years! We nailed it! #ENDO2025 #DowntownSF @ucsfdc.bsky.social

Thrilled last night to see Bob Farese, Jr., an outstanding mentor in whose lab @gladstoneinst.bsky.social trained as a UCSF postdoc. A scientific friendship between 2 academic endocrinologists spanning 21 years! #ENDO2025 #downtownSF

Chinese Dragon Dancers officially welcoming #ENDO2025 to the meeting! @endocrinesociety.bsky.social @ucsfdc.bsky.social

Uplifting to see the science presented by our UCSF early stage investigators in Endocrinology #ENDO2025. Congrats Drs. Karin Wu (bone metabolism) and Rob Weber (mineralocorticoid physiology)! @endocrinesociety.bsky.social

Always enjoy connecting with the public about diabetes. Deep dive on new CDC data today with KCBS radio in San Francisco. @ucsfdc.bsky.social #prediabetes www.audacy.com/podcast/kcbs...

A great part of #ADASciSessions is getting to see one of our UCSF endocrine fellows present her first poster at her first ADA meeting! Congrats to Dr. Aye Khine and her mentor Dr. Zoe Quandt! Had to wait to catch them (foot traffic!). Love our @ucsfdc.bsky.social faculty who came to support!

UCSF Diabetes is out in force in Chicago at the 85th ADA #ADAscisessions! Amazing posters from trainees and faculty, talks, sessions, panelists, and symposia! We’re doing our part and loving it! @ucsfdc.bsky.social @amdiabetesassn.bsky.social #Chicago !

Loving #Chicago following a scientific ad board meeting this am, ready for #ADA scientific sessions tomorrow! My afternoon? Art Institute of Chicago! See you tomorrow, diabetes community. @ucsfdc.bsky.social

Atul Butte was wonderful. I treasure our many collaborations on diabetes and big data & mentoring emerging scientists with him. Here’s a current one: www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... Every meeting was inspiring and each shared meal was a joy. What a force. Crushed. RIP, friend. @ucsfdc.bsky.social

If “Great” = “Poor”, then I believe our president may have truly found his sweet spot.

Texas measles outbreak now at 400 cases and 41 hospitalizations. It was at 327 cases 3 days ago. Unclear how many of the hospitalizations are due to Vitamin A liver toxicity, as promoted by RFK Jr. The number of actual cases surely exceeds 1,000 at this point www.dshs.texas.gov/news-alerts/...

#endocrinology in the house last night! Great time talking science, medicine, and the state of our field. Outstanding UCSF Endo GR today by Dr. Susan Mandel of @pennmedicine.bsky.social on thyroid nodule assessment & triage. @jasosamd.bsky.social @americansurgeon.bsky.social @endosurgsf.bsky.social

Thanks, @cellpress.bsky.social for a nice QA with me and @mvaldearcos.bsky.social. It’s a great narrative about our work on hypothalamic microglia, and a great scientific collaboration. #mentorship #microglia @ucsfdc.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell-reports...

From “preprint” to “in press”! Congrats @MValdearcos @RachelLippert and the rest of our outstanding team. @AtUcsf @UCSF #microglia #hypothalamus Microglia mediate the early-life programming of adult glucose control: Cell Reports www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Sigh.

We can’t allow this. Journals, societies, universities, industry… we can’t be idle. What’s to stop this “list” from shape-shifting? Or expanding to any studies receiving federal funding? Publication lets us all see! That’s freedom! tinyurl.com/ynkph5z5

Now please rescind the pause on federal communication so those of us dedicated to helping our country in our areas of expertise can know what the hell is going on. We’ve already wasted enough time with this nonsense.

When you’re at a scientific conference listening to the keynote during the closing minutes of a nail biter between your alma matter and Wisconsin….Go Bruins!

Thanks NIDDK for supporting leaders from each of the Nutrition and Obesity Research Centers to attend a 2-d workshop last mo on training mentors across the diversity of metabolic research. Madison, WI was COLD, but there was warmth in the room! Thanks, CIMER for running it!

Going to SoCal this wk for Deuel Conference on Lipids, but also visiting my parents and brother who were each evacuated from their homes in my beloved home town of La Canada Flintridge. This was the view from my brother’s backyard last week. Lots of hugs needed!

Today I got word a key paper will be published. I also was privileged to attend our UCSF Department of Medicine’s leadership retreat, this year on mentoring. Closed the day finalizing long term strategy for the UCSF Diabetes Center @ucsfdc.bsky.social. Then, once home, I looked up & saw this. Yeah.

Our commitment to training the next generation of US endocrinologists must address the staggering shortage that currently exists. These are prevalent and complex diseases, people! Article and graphic: www.goodrx.com/healthcare-a...

I love that I can see myself in my institution’s embrace of the holiday season, including its broad definition. Today walking into my clinic building at The University of California San Francisco! @ucsfdc.bsky.social

Shout out to Muriel Babey, a recent UCSF endocrinology fellowship graduate and now a faculty member in our division, on her work being highlighted for its clinical promise in @nejm.org Congrats! @ucsfdc.bsky.social www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Great work by an amazing group on a timely subject. Just out! #metabolicdusruptors #obesogens @ucsfdc.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...
