On the way back now. Such a good time to catch up with friends, building new networks, and learning new finding at #circadian and #sleep researches
If you are interested see this short thread by @A_J_Millar to have a flavour of what is covered and perhaps you can join us next time

FediScience.orgAndrew Millar (@A_J_Millar@fediscience.org)Conference vignette 👀: #OpenScience is about much more than #OpenData. Presenting unpublished work is also Openness, as social science alumna Dr. Ros Attenborough reminded us. And if you can share that way, then... In the Presidential symposium, another lab alumnus introduced a mouse protein that massively affected the clock ⏰ . His group found it through an ambitious phosphoproteomic 🧪 + candidate selection approach on a cell line 🧫 , looking beyond the canonical idea of the clockwork (TTFL in the jargon). Canonical here means canonised by a Nobel prize. A good friend from Japan explained in the Q&A that his group had just found the SAME gene in a genetic screen of mice 🐁with altered sleep patterns 🐁💤🛌. We know the clock controls sleep. So, independent evidence across continents.👍 Over dinner they started to coordinate how they would each publish their work. #Science working.

#Circadian #Biology has grown into an incredibly broad field, one that you can now learn the fundamentals of through a clear, concise, and expertly written book. For free.

On the Essential Principles and Practice of Circadian Biology: A Road MapOn the Essential Principles and Practice of Circadian Biology: A Road Map – Simple Book PublishingCircadian Biology is about the adaptation of life to our rotating world, to the Earth’s 24-hour rhythm of day and night. Not surprisingly, the field has attracted considerable popular and scientific interest from people seeking further study or applications. This new diversity is exciting and invigorating! But newcomers may have little or no foundational knowledge on the essential principles and practice of circadian biology, no framework upon which to incorporate their disciplinary experience and expertise. If this describes you, our intention is to provide you with a Road Map – call it a launching pad, jump start, gateway, or primer – as a first (and hopefully engaging and helpful) step to enter the field and as an entrée to its now voluminous literature.<div class="bookheaderfc"><a class="call-to-action" href="https://opentextbooks.rug.nl/circadianbiology/#:~:text=READ%20BOOK-,CONTENTS,-HIDE%20ALL%20CONTENTS">Table of Contents</a></div>

Plants and animals are different [citation needed], but we've both evolved on the same Earth. So the physiology of animals is also affected by exposure to #LightPollution, and this extends to humans and #HumanHealth.

We have the problem that we spend most of the day indoors under artificial lights (much darker than natural day), and then spend the evening indoors under artificial lights (much brighter than natural night). Especially for night owls, this lack of a clear day/night signal screws up our internal #Circadian clocks. These clocks control things like metabolism, so messing with them causes #health problems: doi.org/10.1177/23727322231193 (5/17)
