Look!
Excitedly we received our little pottery works of art. Impressive, isn't it? But, of course, we remain faithful to research and continue pottery as a hobby.

Our team had a great afternoon at Werk 2! The pottery experience had something meditative - like writing papers. Check out the amazing clay works that were created (they are not finished yet, we will reveal the final results soon).

Prof. Guido Frank in Leipzig!
Why does my child not eat? Prof. Guido Frank explored this fundamental question and gave us an impressive insight into his neurophysiological research!

New paper!
Congratulations to our PhD student Sonja. In her study, recently published in Obesity Facts, she examined how the preference for obesity surgery changed over 1 year of behavioral weight-loss treatment (BWLT), and what patient factors were associated with these changes. As an important clinical implication, the paper showed that it is not less % total body weight loss that was related to receiving obesity surgery in patients with a preference for obesity surgery, but higher initial and final BMI before/after BWLT. Much pleasure reading!
