    Another thought for - might the constrains on energy expenditure somehow be a mechanism for restricting potential cellular cheating (either of somatic cells or microbial cells that might use too many resources/replicate too quickly) to protect organism

    Some thoughts on ‘s presentation: might abdominal/omental fat actually be an index of immune function (we know this kind of fat can be largely made of immune cells and help make a barrier around intestines).

    Trade offs are the key to understanding why energy expenditure is the same across kids in v. diff environments: US/UK kids are able to grow faster and taller than Shuar kids because they don’t have to spend as many somatic resources on immune function says

    Wild! There is NO DIFFERENCE between Shuar kids and UK/US kids in terms of energy expenditure shows using the gold standard of assessing energy expenditure in kids.

    Uh... what? Apparently nobody had measured energetic expenditure in a subsistence population of kids says He brought equipment out via canoe to measure among the Shuar. Kids also love the respirometer, made them feel like awesome astronauts apparently

    . created a portable device that can measure lower leg growth so accurately he can detect growth over the course of just ONE WEEK. The Shuar kids love it, too; they call it the roller coaster because he rolls them back and forth on the ball bearings

    . presents us with a paradox: Shuar children are often ‘stunted’ in their growth, but also there is rising obesity. What is going on?

    This is a large part of why I’m teaching a grad course this Spring “Communication for Scientists” where we tackle the complexities of science communication both within and outside of academia and hopefully give students the skills to communicate with boarder audiences.
