My late father was an Olympic rower (1964) who had an almost superhuman ability to sleep anywhere, any time. He was a natural night owl who could also wake at dawn if needed, and could function on surprisingly little sleep when required. [1/2]

Buses at 4:52am??? Florida’s school start time law was weakened—but it still has teeth Some districts are stepping up. Others may just file reports and opt out What’s really happening—and what’s at stake for teen sleep #StartSchoolLater #FLedu #sleeppeeps open.substack.com/pub/terrazip...

The last session of the day, our ECN Symposium. We open with Prof. Shaun Purcell presenting: " The NSRR: Data and Tools to Support Big Data Sleep Science." #eSleepEurope2025

#Chronobiology is a broad field encompassing virtually all life sciences. Find PhDs, Postdoctoral roles and more on our jobs board: www.bioclocks.uk/group/jobs/d...

Our Keynote Lecture with Dr. Gonzalo Gutiérrez Tobal, presenting new diagnostic methods that apply machine learning and advanced signal analysis to improve sleep assessment across adult and paediatric groups. #eSleepEurope2025

"Does neurodivergence shape the way that we sleep and dream? In this episode, Professor Dagmara Dimitriou, Professor of Sleep Education and Research, draws on two decades of research to explain why standard sleep advice often falls short for neurodiverse individuals." #N24 #Autism #Circadian #Sleep

Trump signed the bill, the gov is open.

Flu season is already beginning. Pediatricians are worried after one of the deadliest flu seasons on record last year -- and the CDC ended a vaccination campaign in the middle of it. My latest: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

📰 New commentary - Barriers to Assessment and Diagnosis of Autism in Adulthood "Professional and government bodies should support the development of neuroaffirming, client-centered practice guidelines that actively include input and co-design from autistic adults."

👋🏻 Bye bye pennies! The U.S. Mint has ended production of the penny after 230 years. Guess in the age in which CEOs secure trillion dollar pay packages, we're unlikely to bring back the one-cent candy stores.

Enjoy a sneak peek of @okaysteve.bsky.social's How to Change a Memory on @thetransmitter.bsky.social:

Interestingly, my teen's sleep apnea stopped/lessened when they started free-running (following body's #Non24 rhythm). Can't wait to see more methods to treat sleep apnea. CPAP machines are really hard for those with sensory issues.

The Sosa Lab is going to #SfN25 and actively recruiting ✨postdocs✨ with systems neuroscience experience! We study both fundamental memory processes and how memory changes during pregnancy and postpartum. If you are interested in meeting at SfN, please email me! www.sosaneurolab.com/join/postdoc...

As someone with a Japanese mother, I'm curious to read more about Japanese phenomenology of psychiatry. My mom sometimes experiences "yūmé-utsutsu" (dreams indistinguishable from reality).

This relief print of a brainbow dentate gyrus was a true labor of love with 8(!) layers of hand printing but it was so worth it in the end. #neuroskyence #sciart

🧠🌟🐭 Excited to share some of my postdoc work on the evolution of dexterity! We compared deer mice evolved in forest vs prairie habitats. We found that forest mice have: (1) more corticospinal neurons (CSNs) (2) better hand dexterity (3) more dexterous climbing, which is linked to CSN number🧵

The perfect pair. 🤩 (Credit goes to two students in my neurobiology lab class!)

Please share! Going to #SfN and looking for a postdoc in human neuroscience? We're hiring! If you have a background in Psychology, Neuroscience, Biomedical Engineering, or related areas, come talk to us about joining our lab at Georgia Tech (siplab.gatech.edu). #neuroscience #PsychSciSky

#SfN25 attendees - make sure to head to the posters when you get to the meeting on Saturday afternoon (V7-V11: Gretchen, Megan, Margaret, Louisa, Bella) and Sunday morning (KK17: Micaela) to hear about our work. We're printing the posters now and they look rad.

To clarify, the QBI Director need not be focused on Dementia, this just happens to be one of the sites where the recruiter has posted….

🧠 The Lipid #Brain Atlas is out now! If you think #lipids are boring and membranes are all the same, prepare to be surprised. Led by @lucafusarbassini.bsky.social with Giovanni D'Angelo's lab, we mapped membrane lipids in the mouse brain at high resolution. www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months" China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.
