A study published last month in #JBR shows that humans exhibit seasonal changes in sleep, oxygen levels, and respiratory indices. Environmental rhythms and human biology are tightly linked!

Two papers from lab alumni in this issue of Current Biology! Very proud of the exciting science from @danichitrang @abhilash1690 Super proud!
Our new paper is out in @CurrentBiology where we address the question of why self-sustenance, a defining feature of circadian clocks might have been selected, when environments on Earth are rarely constant! sciencedirect.com/science/ar… #circadian #cyanobacteria #evolution
We competed self-sustained, damped, and arrhythmic cyanobacteria strains under different photoperiods. The result? While damped clocks can hold their own in winter-like short days, they get out-competed by self-sustained clocks in equinox and summer conditions.
Honored to serve on the organizing committee and present my research for this exceptional meeting!
It was an honor and a thrill to host the 15th Cyanobacteria Workshop last week at @VanderbiltU. The workshop was a huge success, with 95 attendees from 21 US states and 8 other countries discussing the planet's most ancient microorganisms. Thanks to the sponsors and presenters!

Clock people: here's Gapdh in brown fat, every 2 hours for 2 days. It's rhythmic everywhere. Maybe not the best control.

The vast majority over discoveries are low hanging fruit when they are made. The key to scientific progress is progressively making more fruit low-hanging. One of the deep problems we have in science is that we reward the people who pick the fruit rather than the ones who lower the branches.

Five people have seen a color never before visible to the naked human eye, thanks to a new retinal stimulation technique called Oz. scim.ag/4inNeqa
Happening tomorrow!
