I actually quite enjoyed chalk talks, but can just imagine a committee's response if an LLM was fired up to participate 💀 inpreparation.substack.com/p/opinion-i-...

Great thread on some of the difficulties we face as scientists communicating with those outside our field. And, importantly, some ideas for building more confidence in science. Diversity & engaging directly with local communities are so critical!

It's my first day as Assistant Professor of Neuroscience!! 🥳🧠 So excited to be joining @pomonacollege.bsky.social and teaching some of the best & brightest future neuroscientists & chronobiologists. PIs, let me know your must-haves for the office and any top tips for the tenure track! #Sagehens

Man this is terrible. Again how do we proceed when this is the reality for many? www.medscape.com/viewarticle/...

SCOTUS can be cruel and unusual but it can't change biology, no matter how much they claim the word. Biology is bigger than binaries! Thanks for the shirt @skypeascientist.bsky.social and @sarahmackattack.bsky.social

1/9 Our publication is now out on eLife! In this study, we became interested in how the circadian repressive phase is organized in circadian time and subcellular space, focusing on the main mammalian circadian repressors: PER2, CRY1, and CK1delta (CK1d). elifesciences.org/articles/110...

Circadian interventions (light, small molecules targeting the clock, food) can improve glymphatics, improve stroke recovery, and reduce neuroinflammation! This was a 5 yr effort from Hablitz Lab (with the assist from Nedergaard lab) out now in JCI! Hope you enjoy! www.jci.org/articles/vie...

no mr blobby isn't a cryptid because the horror of mr blobby is that we KNOW he exists. he is a constant threat

Webinar on July 15th for Early Stage Investigators considering applying for the NIGMS R35 MIRA. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

Woah! I've got a lecture on the immune system and another on cool senses like magnetoreception as part of my sensory systems course so this is delightful to see 🤩 looking forward to discussing it with the class! Mouse splenic macs are also magnetic (so be careful with +ve selection kits).

For Pint of Science Munich one year, we invited a speaker who studied volcanic lightning and it was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. They actually have equipment to make this happen in their lab. Absolutely nuts! 🤩

Actually a little disappointed this isn't an adaptation of the Michael Bay TV series about a US Naval ship and the search for a cure to a viral pandemic.

Three PhD scholarships available in our great department! Should be super projects. www.maynoothuniversity.ie/psychology/n...

It's all fun and games until you're trying to explain circadian entrainment to a toddler at 1am (local, ~5pm internal). Why is there not an episode of Bluey on jet lag? Surely they have some relatives across the pond they could visit.

This year for mother's day we'll be taking a transatlantic flight with a 2.5 year old. All I ask is for some sleep🤞 See you soon, Europe!!

I love weird sensory biology 🤩 (it's only weird to us losers who no longer have it). Those extra (parietal) eyes are also key for navigation in some animals - if you cover it, lizards get very confused!! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

When all the SRBR posts hit next week... #SRBR2026

If your conference can afford and plan for a nightly open bar, they can afford and plan for free or low-cost childcare for attendees with small children.

Sharing my Blogger page again! For anyone interested in Sighted Non-24 lived experiences, my blog includes interviews with others navigating it. #Non24 #Sleep totally-circadian.blogspot.com

I wonder how much of this is millennial parents still excited to see monster trucks and happy to encourage their kid's interest. The horror on our parents'/the grandparents' faces as our kid excitedly talks about Grave Digger is kinda fun 😀

Been in Texas for 5 years and finally made it to Big Bend on the way out! We need to protect these National Parks, folks, and especially the dark sky areas 🤩

Excited to share our editorial in @bmj.com - we discuss the need for targeted action to address the fact that the UK has lost its measles-free status. We highlight issues like public health spending cuts, fragmented infrastructure, training cuts that impacted vaccine access #HealthPolicy 🧵

Once upon a time, UT sent staff a copy of the calendar of religious observances from ADL (www.adl.org/education/re...), which is incredibly helpful for accommodations, mentoring, and just generally learning more about other cultures. That office/position no longer exists 😔

G is for Geode. And that's good enough for me.

LGBTQ+ youth have higher rates of mental illness and suicide compared to cis/het children. Increasing state sanctioned discrimination has only worsened this crisis. Let the LGBTQ+ people in your life know they are loved. Support orgs that support them www.thetrevorproject.org/resources/gu...

⏰ Time change incoming! ⏰ Daylight Savings Time begins in Europe on Sunday. Did you know scientific societies, including @esrs.bsky.social, advocate for permanent Central European Time (CET)? 💡Read more about why here: esrs.eu/wp-content/u...

An amazing opportunity for students to get their foot in the door for neuroscience research! Great to see a program explicitly welcome applicants from community colleges and folks with no prior experience!! www.simonsfoundation.org/2026/03/10/a...

❗Date change ❗ The 2026 meeting of the Society for Light, Rhythms, and Circadian Health (SLRCH) has been rescheduled to Sept 11-13 2026 (previously Sept 3-5). We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. Questions? Email us at [email protected]

Thank you for the highlight! This was a fun project testing the impact of restricting food availability to the active phase in aged mice. We saw increased sociability and transcriptomic changes indicating that this simple intervention has beneficial effects on age-associated neuroinflammation.

✨ SHINY NEW PAPER ✨ Time-restricted feeding in mice reduced age-related hippocampal inflammation and social withdrawal, but had no effect on weight @louise-ince.bsky.social @fonken.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

They're playing "Sugar we're goin down" on the UT tower bells, and honestly emo campanology works pretty well! I wonder if they take requests...

Daylight Savings Time changes are hitting many in the Northern Hemisphere this month! A circadian modeling study by Xu et al. shows how light exposure may speed adjustment to DST culminating in a few suggestions. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #daylightsavings

"man is there a lot of interesting stuff out there that we haven't realized yet. . ." Completely agree (esp. for immunology)! This is super cool. Don't overlook the biophysics: gene expression & protein levels are great readouts, but are those proteins able to move/signal properly?

The next time politicians say there is no money for health or humanitarian aid, I will remember this: $1 billion per day on war

If you email me at 5:36 pm on a Friday to ask for something and then send a “gentle reminder” at 8:29 am on Monday, it makes me contrary.

If you think it’s absurd that essentially anyone can buy, load, and carry around a weapon made for war and/or to hunt giant game from a distance, please stand for gun control.

One of many reasons why equitable access to healthcare is so critical. My heart breaks for these children (yes, children). Nobody should be forced to carry a child, and this could well have lethal consequences. Don't tell me you're "pro life" while committing these atrocities.

Really valuable insight into under-appreciated biology: non-24 hour sleep-wake disorder. #Circadian #SleepPeeps

As I go to sleep around 5 am, after cooking for my adult child who woke up at 3:30 am, I'd like to share this link about Non-24. Considered rare in sighted people, it is also mis/under diagnosed. Below I'll share 4 reasons why. #Non24 #RareDiseaseDay rarediseases.org/rare-disease...
