#Circadian disruption is well linked to Alzheimer’s disease but how does it shape pathology? In this invited editorial in SLEEP, I discuss Duncan et al.’s study showing that dim light at night reshapes microglial state and amyloid vulnerability. #Alzheimers #LightPollution shorturl.at/BJzTE

Good clocks are bad? Using TimeTeller we predict clock function and phase from breast tumour transcriptomes in a multi-cohort dataset including 1286 patients. We find that good tumour clock function is antagonistic to survival. Now out as preprint: Vasilyev et al. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Satellites could disrupt #circadian rhythms globally. Major projects such as #ReflectOrbital and #SpaceX are pushing boundaries, and now is the time to recognise the effect these projects could have on life everywhere. www.bioclocks.uk/news 🧪 #AcademicSky #Scicomm #Chronobiology

2026 off to a heavy start. Very sad news from Hanover: The European circadian and seasonal rhythms community lost an excellent physiologist and a genuinely kind human being. Stephan Steinlechner passed away unexpectedly in January. tinyurl.com/stephanstein...

Excited to join the #UnderOneSky conference (Nov 7–8), organized by @darkskyintl.bsky.social to protect our natural night. 🌙 I’ll present findings from the ENLIGHT project on how #lightpollution affects amphibians, highlighting why preserving natural night conditions is vital for wildlife.

Socioeconomic roots of academic faculty Tenure-track faculty are up to 25 times more likely to have a parent with a Ph.D. Moreover, this rate nearly doubles at prestigious universities and is stable across the past 50 years. #AcademicSky

Gerade gelernt: die Sommerzeit hat die DDR der Bundesrepublik rein gedrückt. Im Osten war das allerdings als Experiment gedacht und sollte nach einem Jahr wegen Misserfolg wieder abgeblasen werden. Da stellte man sich im Westen dann quer. Das Abblasen wurde abgeblasen.

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🧪

Your circadian rhythm influences mood, metabolism and even how well you respond to medical treatment. Now we finally have the tools to harness it to help us live longer and feel better
