#COP30 🌍 Face à la désinformation sur le climat, le CNRS se positionne comme garant de l’intégrité de l’information scientifique et de la lutte contre la manipulation du débat climatique.
« Le rôle des scientifiques n’est pas d’arbitrer entre les « pour » et les « contre », nous devons apporter des connaissances »
Alors que s’ouvre la COP30 à Belém (Brésil), l’intégrité de l’information entre pour la première fois dans le programme d’action d’une COP.

First post intro:
We are the largest concentration of seasonal Chronobiologists in the world based above the arctic circle in Tromsø.
We address:
- How animals time changes in their Physiology using the daylength
- What is the impact of arctic, and, human light in health and physiology
