Summary

Dr. Giles Yeo is a British-American biologist who specialises in food and weight. I ask him everything I want to know about obesity, genetics, exercise and why we seem to hate fat people. He is the professor of molecular neuroendocrinology at the Medical Research Council Metabolic Diseases Unit and scientific director of the Genomics/Transcriptomics Core at the University of Cambridge.
