Before there was @tahoe_ai's Mosaic platform, which gave us Tahoe-100M, there was GENEVA. This is the paper that started it all — and it's been a long time coming.

Dr. Carrie R. Wong (@carriewong) discusses chronic liver disease linked to more healthcare barriers than other chronic diseases in @HCPLiveNews #livertwitter @CDCgov @AASLDtweets @DOM_UCLA hcplive.com/view/chronic-liv…
Chronic Liver Disease Linked to More Healthcare Barriers Than Other Chronic Diseases | HCPLive

Chronic Liver Disease Linked to More Healthcare Barriers Than Other Chronic Diseases | HCPLive

People with chronic liver disease were more likely to experience healthcare barriers and require recurrent acute care compared to those with COPD and/or CVD.

Here’s how one of Rockefeller's scientists, Svetlana Mojsov, co-discovered a hormone that enabled the development of new weight-loss drugs: science.org/content/article/…
Her work paved the way for blockbuster obesity drugs. Now, she’s fighting for recognition

Svetlana Mojsov helped discover the hormone GLP-1. Why has she been excluded from its history?

Everyone studying fat knows that brown fat is “multilocular” (contains many small lipid droplets). But how and why do brown adipocytes organize their lipid stores in this way? Excited to finally share my PhD work on CLSTN3β, now published online @Nature! nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
