💡 How does light impact our health? Join the #CAS in Light and Chronobiology — a 1-year course blending science, design, and clinical practice. ✔️ Start: Sept 2025 ✔️ Format: online + in-person workshops ✔️ Course language: English Learn more → bit.ly/44dQcdF #chronobiology #circadian #light #science

You’ve probably heard scientists should “build a personal brand.” But no one tells you what to post. So you stare at the blinking cursor… wondering how to show up without sounding self-promotional—or like you’ve abandoned the science. (1/9) 🧪 #SciComm

At the moment, I'm particularly looking for *scientists* interested in writing for @aeon.co. Is that you? I have recently commissioned essays on geology, oceans, cosmology, astronomy, Antarctica, the brain, computer science, quantum and more. aeon.co/science

What should you do if you #Travel across multiple time-zones? It depends, so here's an example! Check out our full factsheet on Jetlag here: www.bioclocks.uk/factsheets #chronobiology #scicomm 🧪

What does the evidence say about beating #jetlag? It depends which way you’re going! Check out our full factsheet on Jetlag here: www.bioclocks.uk/factsheets #chronobiology #scicomm 🧪

If you’ve ever travelled across multiple time zones, you may already know a bit about #jetlag. What symptoms do you experience? Check out our full factsheet on Jetlag here: www.bioclocks.uk/factsheets #chronobiology #scicomm 🧪

Join me TOMORROW Thurs 5/29 @ 9am AZ/PT | 12pm ET for the next #BSMinar! Pam Alfonso-Miller from @northumbriauni.bsky.social (and @uarizona.bsky.social lab alum) will present: "No Health without Sleep Health" Free CME! Info/Signup: seminar.sleephealthresearch.com

Not sure I'm the expert, but definitely we're all about the #ECMatrix with a dabble of #CircadianRhythms 😆

🎓Applications are still open for our two-year part-time online PGDip/MSc programme in Sleep Medicine at @ox.ac.uk ! ⏰Get your application in by the end of May to be considered in the next round of shortlisting! 💻For further information please visit: www.scni.ox.ac.uk/study-with-us

Biological 'clocks' could be responsible for increased muscle loss with age in shift workers, according to new @kingslsm.bsky.social research ⬇️ kcl.ac.uk/news/biologi... #ScienceAtKings #shiftwork #circadianrhythms

📢The month of May is going to have lots of great opportunities for those interested in PhD and MD/PhD careers! 🔬👏🏾 See my curated list on Substack: microbephd.substack.com/p/may-opport... #scicomm #gradschool #stem #research #academia #PhD #mdphd

Insightful talk by Dr Kramer - time for #CircadianMedicine - Mission , Motivation & Approach. HairTime, a novel assay that estimates #chronotype from a single hair sample could be used in future for diagnosing #disorders like #DSWPD in #adolescents. #SleepSky www.researchgate.net/publication/...

How does life in cities versus rural areas shape our circadian rhythms? How does access to electricity — or the lack of it — impact sleep timing? And what happens to our circadian rhythms when we move from an urban setting to camping outside? 🌆🏕️ 1/3 ↪️

Delighted to announce this spring semester's programme for our Seminar Series "Current Topics in Circadian & Visual Neuroscience", featuring a roster of speakers discussing their cutting-edge research in vision and/or circadian rhythms. Register now! www.tscnlab.org/seminar

Looking for a course on light and the implementation of (day)light solutions into buildings to create a healthier indoor environment? In our #CAS in Light and #Chronobiology you learn how to design non-visual light solutions in the work environment and more. Check out our website: bit.ly/3XYKhVD

For #research to have real-world #impact, academics need skills and tools to communicate effectively with politicians. Here, @kylieahern.bsky.social offers ways to make every engagement count: www.timeshighereducation.com/campus/expla... #scicomm #policyimpact #academicsky #PhDsky #HigherEd

If you have to change your clocks for daylight savings, you’re in the global minority. Now, scientists and health professionals are calling for this change to stop – but why? Find out in this podcast by @lightoclock.bsky.social 🎧 www.tscnlab.org/podcast/s03e01 #chronobiology #circadian #scicomm 🧪

One week left to apply to this. We look forward to have you working with us in London @ukdri.ac.uk @imperialmed.bsky.social @bioclocksuk.bsky.social

On 30 March, Europe switch to Daylight Saving Time (DST), moving clocks forward by 1 hour. Great episode by @lightoclock.bsky.social on what scientists in sleep & circadian research and the public say about changing the clocks 🕙🌅 🎧 open.spotify.com/episode/0tOU... #chronobiology #publichealth #sleep

We're strengthening the nation’s health security defences. 🛡 Live from #UKHSA25, we've announced a new tool to help focus research efforts on pathogen families of greatest potential risk to public health, boosting preparedness against future threats. 📰🔗 www.gov.uk/government/n...
