Around the equinox, we see an increased interest in how biological rhythms are affected by light. UK #Chronobiology academics have been communicating the research on this for over a decade now - check out this timeless podcast episode on rhythms: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b... #SciComm 🧪

As the day shortens you might start to see a change in the behaviour of the little visitors in your garden and local parks. What do you notice? Nocturnal activity is the result of internal biological rhythms! Learn more through our factsheets: www.bioclocks.uk/factsheets #SciComm #chronobiology🧪

What makes you tick? We talk about #circadian rhythms and the biological clock like we already know what's going on, but there's still so much to learn about this fundamental process! Learn more about the research going on at Oxford here: www.bioclocks.uk/research/wha... #SciComm #chronobiology🧪

We are happy to announce that the Faraday Discovery Fellowships are now open for applications. These prestigious long-term awards are designed to support mid-career research leaders to undertake high-quality, original research. Find out more on now: #RSGrants royalsociety.org/grants/farad...

📄Coming Soon!📄 The application for the Fall 2025 Young Voices of Science Program will be opening soon on Friday, August 15th and will be closing on Friday, September 5th. #science #scicomm #sciencecommunication

Too early to think? Why school start times matter for sleep and learning 🎒 ⏰ Another great episode of @lightoclock.bsky.social podcast covering adolescent sleep, circadian rhythms and initiatives aimed at delaying school start times www.tscnlab.org/podcast/s03e04 #chronobiology #chronotype

Jornal da USP wrote a nice piece about our collaborative work with @gojonnes.bsky.social and @carloshotta.bsky.social published in @newphyt.bsky.social jornal.usp.br/ciencias/rel... #chronobiology

☀️ Summer is a great time to observe biological rhythms in action. Look at the insect life around you - do they come out at a particular time of day? 🐝 If so, you've found their 'temporal niche'! 🔗 Learn more through our factsheets here: www.bioclocks.uk/factsheets #SciComm #Ecology 🧪

Need some #chronobiology expertise but not sure where to start? Academic leaders in #circadian rhythms, #sleep, #plant chronobiology, #seasonality, #neuroscience and more can now be reached through our BioClocks UK expert directory. www.bioclocks.uk/about/bioclo... #SciComm 🧪

🧠 These patterns matter: • Should services adapt services to provide support when most needed? • Could timing light therapy or crisis care boost impact? Read the blog & share your thoughts 👉 buff.ly/3xJbl23 #MentalHealth #CircadianRhythms #Wellbeing

☀️ Depression and anxiety were lowest in the morning, rising through the day. 😊 Happiness peaked early, dropped midday, rebounded a bit – then crashed by midnight. 😐 Loneliness barely changed – it stayed steady across the day.

🕰️ Do things really feel better in the morning? A UK study analysed 1 million mood reports from 49,000 people across 2 years and found a clear pattern. Mental health peaks in the morning and dips late at night. #MentalHealth #CircadianRhythms #Wellbeing #MorningPerson 🧵 THREAD

You probably know that humans have #circadian rhythms, but did you know plants do too? Now is a great time to go out and witness clocks in nature! For more of our expert-reviewed factsheets, see our website: www.bioclocks.uk/factsheets #SciComm #Ecology 🧪
