SO HAPPY to share our new paper in @currentbiology.bsky.social! Using volumetric EM, we found daily shifts in synapses, vesicles, and mitochondria that accompany neuronal remodeling, linking structural plasticity to changes in how s-LNv neurons influence their targets

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.

There seems to be a limitation for elite athletes, might well be, www.nature.com/articles/d41...
but have they tested the proposed energy cap in 10-year old children? From own experience, I have doubts they are limited like this! doi.org/10.3389/fphy...
What’s the cap on human energy expenditure? Elite athletes reveal ‘metabolic ceiling’
When athletes devote large amounts of energy to running or cycling, they unconsciously cut back on energy output elsewhere.

It was very interesting to write this review article about 12hr rhythms in marine species and mammals. Almots 20 years after the first description of these 12hr rhythms in mouse liver, we still don't know a lot about their role and their regulation!
