The @BBCScienceNews already reporting on our paper coming out today! 🤩 Can’t wait to share the details once the embargo is lifted. A unique collaboration between endocrinologists, mathematicians and steroid biochemists @ultradian2020 @SMQB_UoB
bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-br… – at Birmingham, England

Definitely one of my favourite sessions at #SIAMDS23 😍. Impossible to fall asleep during these fascinating talks on circadian rhythm 🌄, body clock⌚, and sleep-wake cycle 😴. @DynamicsSIAM
Congrats to Victoria for winning the J.D Crawford prize at #SIAMDS23 this week! Very well deserved! Victoria will be speaking about her brilliant work on sleep-wake regulation models today at 3PM in Morrison. Come along to find out more meetings.siam.org/sess/dsp_p…
Congratulations to Victoria Booth of @UMich for receiving the J. D. Crawford Prize at #SIAMDS23! She was recognized for her exceptional research in #mathematical #biology, particularly the formulation, analysis, and interpretation of #DynamicalSystems models of sleep-wake cycles.
An excellent display of some of the exciting work going on in mathematical endocrinology at the moment! Well done to all the speakers and the organisers for putting on such a great session!
That’s a wrap for our 2-part mini symposium on Dynamic Regulatory Principles in Neuroendocrine Systems at #SIAMDS23. Very pleased we had very exciting discussions. The field of mathematical endocrinology is getting hot! meetings.siam.org/sess/dsp_p…
For those at #SIAMDS23... What a great meeting so far! We've had some thrilling science & math, and today is no exception. This afternoon we have the first session of a three part mini all about circadian dynamics! Come along to Part 1 at 4.50pm in Morrison

The perception of IQ as a seemingly objective measure of intelligence is frequently used to promote racist pseudoscience on social media.
For this reason, I think it's extremely important for people to know some relevant facts about IQ:
If you're at #BNA2023 today go check out Lottie's poster to find out about develpoing clocks! 🧠🕑
Talking about postnatal development of #Circadian clocks in the brainstem today at #BNA2023 ! ⏰
If you're interested, come chat to me at poster 007 in Zone 1 (ground floor)
I'm very happy that our work is out and available for all to read! It was also a pleasure to present this model at #BAMC2023 yesterday! If circadian rhythms and phase models interest you, take a look...
Delighted that Jake, final year PhD student, has published his first modelling paper--well done Jake and our fantastic co-authors! @JakeAhern4 @ChrobokLukasz @Al_prof

In preparation for @BritishNeuro’s #BNA2023 I am thinking about inclusive poster design 📝
A few simple tips...
Dyslexic-friendly font
1.5 line spacing
Sufficiently large text
High contrast and colour-blind friendly colours
Simple layout - no clutter!
ALT Title image for a Twitter thread on "Inclusive Poster Design" with tips and resource links. Next to the title are three colourful squares each with a cartoon science image: DNA helices, microscopes and a brain.

Excellent start to 2023 for twitterless Dr. Timna Hitrec. Not only did she drive this fine project, she has now embarked on setting up her own lab at the University of Bologna. Great person to work with--keep an eye out potential post-grads!

Great to get this out--scheduled exercise and molecular expression in the suprachiasmatic nuclei, liver, and lung. Hats off to
@alunhughes1 @JeanFustin @lottie_muir and twitterless Timna Hitrec, Cheryl Petit, and Emily Cryer.

AI is changing everything, and it's not just ChatGPT or self-driving cars.
You'd be surprised at just how broadly AI is being applied across tons of industries.
I’ve now invested in 50 AI startups, and here are some recent investments using AI in fascinating applications 👇

The chronobiology and sleep fields have lost a wonderful colleague and friend to many. Steve Brown died from injuries sustained in an accident on Wednesday. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, lab and colleagues. RIP.

(Thread) In the first What If? book, I answered a question about cooking a steak by dropping it from space. At one point, I commented—jokingly!—that if anyone put a steak in a hypersonic wind tunnel to gather better data, I’d love to see the video.
Well, I have good news.
