1/5 We're recruiting #Postdocs & #GradStudents to study NIDDK funded projects understanding the flexibility of neural circuits involved in obesity & diabetes. @UTSW & City of Dallas, great place to live & work with cutting-edge science! UTSW Internal Medicine UT Southwestern O'Donnell Brain Institute @UTSWNews


It would be hard to overstate Penny Kris-Etherton's personal impact on Nutritional Sciences or her scholarly impact on the field of cardiometabolic health. Congratulations, and happy retirement! ow.ly/PuqK50Ptc2X


Congrats to Nick Neuwald and @KatKellerLab for another great paper on eating microstructure! Switching between foods was associated with greater eating in the absence of hunger and reward-based eating. SSIB Penn State Research Nutritional Sciences sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

The @KatKellerLab is actively recruiting 18-30-year-old adults to participate in an in-person #interoception study. If you live in the Centre County area and want to participate email, call, or scan QR code. Penn State Research Penn State Nutritional Sciences


So happy to have helped with the first Open Science Bootcamp at PSU. We had great representation across Penn State! #OpenScience Penn State SSRI Penn State HHD Penn State Libraries Penn State College of Engineering Penn State Bellisario College Penn State College of the Liberal Arts Penn State Eberly College of Science Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences Penn State Smeal Penn State College of IST and more!

Virtual reality headsets can be used in eating behavior studies to simulate real-world environments, according to research from Dr. Travis Masterson, PhD in Nutritional Sciences. This technology provides a sustainable method for studying eating behavior and food choice. ow.ly/HKso50PIuOf




Excellent new paper from @KatKellerLab @NicoleAReigh Tanja Kral Alaina Pearce @marion_mh and Barbara Rolls on energy compensation in Children. Findings show wide variability in energy compensation & methods across studies. More research needed on inter-individual differences

🚨Attn Penn State Research faculty: We're accepting applications for its Early-Stage Investigator Training (KL2) Program. The KL2 provides research training needed to become successful, independent clinical and translational scientists.🗓️⏰ LOIs due Nov. 10! bit.ly/KL22024



Great new paper out from Alaina Pearce and the rest of our Penn State crew on Loss of Control Eating and Brain Structure in Children: frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

This #FacultyFriday, we are learning about developments in research methodology that will allow researchers to study children’s eating behaviors in natural settings, like their homes. Visit ow.ly/U2om50QZM6O to learn more. Alaina Pearce #pennstatenutrsci


New publication❗️Excited to share my paper on food switching behavior in children. Here we look at how consistent switching behavior is within children across different meals and eating paradigms.🍽️@KatKellerLab, Alaina Pearce, @PMCunningham23 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Do you tend to eat one thing at a time or switch between various foods on your plate? 🍽️ Recent research by Nick Neuwald, PhD and @KatKellerLab explores how consistent this food-switching behavior is within children across various meals. ow.ly/KCsM50R9hPA #pennstatenutrsci
