- yeah sex is cool but have you ever inserted figures into a grant and it fit perfectly within the page limit?
- Drugs like Ozempic are great for weight loss, but they make some people feel sick. We discovered that the brain circuits mediating the appetite suppression are distinct from those that mediate nausea – a finding that may be leveraged to develop more selective GLP1-based drugs.
- Our latest paper is online @Cell_Metabolism! Work led by the fantastic @PennNGG student @NitsanGoldstein and techs @_Aaron_McKnight and @jamiecartyy demonstrates that sugar and fat utilize different gut-brain pathways to communicate with the hypothalamus
- Thanks to the Klingenstein Fund and Simons Foundation for the 2020 Award in Neuroscience to support my lab's work on gut-brain communication!Congratulations to @MonellSc scientist @AmberAlhadeff on being awarded a 2020 Klingenstein-Simons Fellowship Award in Neurosciences! monell.org/news/news_rele…
- The Alhadeff Lab will be opening in January 2020 at the Monell Center and the Department of Neuroscience at Penn! Couldn’t be more excited about the next stage of my career, and I’m unbelievably grateful for the support of mentors, colleagues, and family along the way. (1/2)
- Overwhelming thanks to @Eppendorf_Group and @ScienceMagazine @aaas and the colleagues, mentors, and collaborators whose influence made this possible!Congratulations to Amber Alhadeff, the winner of the 2021 Eppendorf & Science Prize for Neurobiology for research that provides new insights into how hunger affects perception and behavior.

- How does the brain process food vs drug rewards? We ask this question in the latest paper from the Betley lab, a collaboration between me and superstar @PennNGG grad student @NitsanGoldstein (1/3) cell.com/neuron/fulltex…
- Thank you so much 😊! Feeling very excited about the science to come!
- My lab turns 2 today 🎂🎉 - what an incredible year! Our team has grown. We applied for tons of grants and were awarded some (including 3 trainee grants!). And we've had a lot of fun doing science. Excited to see what year 3 will bring!new lab, who dis
- When Nathaniel, a bioengineering postbac, joined the lab 2 years ago, I had no idea he would have such an ENORMOUS impact on our research program. Last night we celebrated and mourned his leaving to start a PhD @Caltech. I’m so proud- watch out for great things from this one!!!
- How does the brain integrate sensory and nutritive information to guide food preference? Work led by N. Nyema with @_Aaron_McKnight, @_alexvtheg, @professor_myers on the sex-depenent role of AgRP neurons in mediating flavor-nutrient associations is out in @MolMetab.Flavor-nutrient learning unveiled: AgRP neurons, key drivers of feeding behavior, play a surprising role. 🧠🍽️ #neuroscience 👩🔬👨🔬@MonellSc @Penn 🔗sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
- My lab is 1 year old today! Huge shout out to @_Aaron_McKnight, my superstar tech, who was there from day 0 and set up the lab from scratch in the middle of a pandemic! One year later, I feel so lucky to have an amazing team and I’m very proud of what we’ve done in a year!new lab, who dis
