At this meeting we will be going over a few things including our plans for next quarter, requirements, and t-shirts. Also, Dr. Leslie Consitt will be speaking to us about her research and the possibility of getting involved in her lab. Below is a brief overview of the type of work she performs:</font></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "> </p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "><font face="Times New Roman">Lelie Consitt, PhD</font></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "><font face="Times New Roman">Research Interest</font></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "><font face="Times New Roman">The overall aim of my research is to investigate the development and treatment of metabolic diseases associated with excess nutritional lipid intake and/or physical inactivity. I am particularly focused on elucidating the cellular mechanisms controlling skeletal muscle glucose and lipid metabolism and how impairments in these mechanisms contribute to insulin resistance in conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and aging. I use a combination of human, animal, and cell culture models to identify cellular mechanisms that contribute to skeletal muscle insulin resistance and use interventions such as exercise and diet modification to help correct cellular impairments.</font><br></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">It is vital that everyone attends this meeting. We have a lot to discuss and missing Dr. Conisitt's presentation would be most unfortunate. I hope to see all of you there!</font></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"></font> </p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">Cheers,</font></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">John</font></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"></font> </p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">-----------------------------</font></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "><strong><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">John Maykut</font></strong></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">Wildlife & Conservation Biology</font></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">President of Tri-Beta</font></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">Biological Honor Society</font></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">-----------------------------</font></p></span></div></body></html>
