Congrats to @abarad.bsky.social who is presenting this fascinating work at #Nutrition2026! #cardiosky www.eurekalert.org/news-release...

Thrilled to share that I’ve been awarded an AHA Postdoctoral Fellowship! So grateful for the support and honored to have the opportunity to advance my research in precision nutrition for CVD prevention. Huge thanks to my mentor @shoaclarke.bsky.social and collaborators for their guidance! 🫀🧬

Gave some quotes to the @nytimes.com in this piece covering saturated fat in some anticipation of potential rollbacks on these regulations from the Kennedy HHS/Rollins USDA Dietary Guidelines. It's a meaty topic but Dr Callahan covered it well for the general public!

Is saturated fat good for you? Health experts have long recommended limiting it, but Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has signaled a shift in that advice. Here's what to know.

Super excited to witness this project coming to fruition! I was part of the initial pilot project that recruited ~60 participants. I can imagine the amount of work to recruit over 500 participants during the COVID years! Super impressed that @abarad.bsky.social and Kimberly got it done!

Huge thanks to @kcklatt.bsky.social for having us on the AJCN 🎙️ to chat about the FeGenes study! Stay tuned for our next paper on the genetics of Fe absorption in this cohort, in collaboration with @yekaixiong.bsky.social. Exciting steps towards precision nutrition! open.spotify.com/episode/091s...

📣New from @yekaixiong.bsky.social & co! 📄A multi-level gene-diet interaction analysis of fish oil and 14 polyunsaturated fatty acid traits identifies the FADS and GRP12 loci bit.ly/3HlYC99

Most hearts have right dominant coronary anatomy but some have left. Why? Is it random? When/how is dominance established? Now out in @cellpress.bsky.social, the 1st GWAS of coronary dominance + experiments implicating CXCL12 as a driver of human coronary patterning! www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Excited to share findings from my PhD work published in AJCN! As Dr. Hennigar noted in his editorial—“Findings from this study reframe how we think about dietary Fe requirements and build evidence for more precise Fe intake and supplementation guidelines”. Links below!👇 @nutritionorg.bsky.social

Some more detailed thoughts, and a plea to basic science #metabolism folks to collaborate with #nutrition scientists/RDs: open.substack.com/pub/kcklatt/...

Amazing to watch commentators and outlets attribute these findings to UPFs and seed oils when the study doesn't even look at this. The assumption that eating more linoleic acid -> higher tissue arachidonic acid enrichment has fueled so many handwavey hypotheses despite metabolic regulation

A bit delayed, but finally, here is a Skytorial (Bluetorial?) on our recent study of guideline recommended statin use in younger adults. #CardioSky #MedSky #CVPrev www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 1/

Guideline recommended statin eligibility and use among U.S. adults ages 20 to 39 years

Guidelines for statin therapy emphasize treatment of adults ages 40–75 years, with less guidance for the treatment of younger adults, ages 20–39 years…

I was told this place had better science discourse. Where you nerds at?
