A lovely commentary on our latest paper where we challenged the notion of the popular Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR) as a response to awakening:
"That which we call cortisol awakening response, by any other word would smell as sweet" doi.org/10.1093/brai...

Very excited to join the Manchester CfBT and collaborate on multidisciplinary projects ranging from cellular timers and circadian clocks to human physiology and health.
The CfBT welcomes Eder Zavala @ederzavala.bsky.social as a new PI! Eder is a UKRI Future Leaders Fellow; his group’s research lies at the interface of mathematics, physiology, and medicine, using quantitative models and data-driven approaches to reveal how hormonal dynamics shape human health.

Apart from the AI junk part… the notion that one should not offer a potential mechanistic explanation for an observation, without first spending years & (unavailable) $$ trying to test possibilities before sharing the observation with others (who may be better equipped to investigate the mechanism)…
Nature suggests you use their "Manuscript Adviser" bot to get advice before submitting
I uploaded the classic Watson & Crick paper about DNA structure, and the Adviser had this to say about one of the greatest paper endings of the century:
