Bright days and dark nights (although technically we’ve just had a full moon) up in this part of Arizona = a circadian paradise! #CircadianRhythms #GetOutside

Now this is what it's all about! 🙌 Thanks @uazbio5.bsky.social for doing a stellar job to bridge the gaps that exist between scientists, as well as those that exist between the public and science. Loved attending "Behind BIO5" to nerd out with anyone willing to listen! #SciComm

Is there anything better than a Sunday stomp about the mountain? Endlessly grateful for this Sonoran sunshine ☀️

DeeeeLIGHTful to attend a session on “life’s rhythms” at this year’s #TucsonFestivalOfBooks. Shoutout to @lynnepeeps.bsky.social for mentioning dark skies, light justice, and school start times.

When we sleep = when we eat = how we eat = how we live = how we eat = when we eat = how we sleep = how we feel

Everything is connected.

We need to stop forcing kiddos (who are already so vulnerable in today's crazy landscape) to wake up at the crack of dawn. Don't we want them to be set up for success? Don't we want them to thrive? Here's a review. #StartSchoolLater

As always, a sensational selection of posters on offer at @ahascience.bsky.social #EPILifestyle25 - here’s a fave 👌

Even though it’s just a wee glimpse, I am so grateful to have daylight access in the ballroom at #EPILifestyle25

Conferences include early starts and long days spent indoors, so small circadian-friendly things like this go a long way!

Sooo excited to explore NOLA and present at @ahascience.bsky.social #EPILifestyle25 in two weeks! The program looks 🌟 - check it out here: professional.heart.org/en/meetings/...

I'll be discussing nocturnal wakefulness and eating behavior on Friday afternoon in session 4A 😴🍲

Truly honored to be one of this year's @uazbio5.bsky.social postdoc fellows! I'm studying cognition and sleep across the menstrual cycle, because #womenshealth matters. Check out this article to see what all these other brilliant researchers are up to: bio5.org/news/bio5-in... #SleepPeeps

It's real hard to sleep when you're not sure where your next nutritious meal might be coming from. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39875787/

If there was ever a time to grab a copy of this book, it's now. A brilliant (relevant) read.

Urbanization, light pollution, and poor mental health. It's so exciting to see this being discussed on such a major platform: www.nature.com/articles/s44... #SleepAndCircadian
