If 5:30am is the “middle” of their biological night, then so is 6:30am. The issue isn’t just with sunlight, it’s with school starting way too early because we prioritize bus schedules (due to underfunded schools and underpaid drivers) and arbitrarily non-flexible adult work hours over kids health.

I know all of these things. I said *I* would gladly trade morning darkness for evening light. But if we’re thinking of the kids, how about K12 schools not starting at 8am when all the research points to later start times being better for health, mood, test scores, and physical safety 🤷‍♀️

What a wild study! Congrats Maureen et al! I haven't read the paper yet but curious. What would happen in adults? Is the neuro:astrogenesis thing purely bc it's during development? I'm fascinated by the idea of something increasing neurogenesis & being able to use that knowledge for other purposes.

This is so cool. I’ve always been flabbergasted at how people are so creative with cover submissions. How do you even think of something like this?!
