"man is there a lot of interesting stuff out there that we haven't realized yet. . ."
Completely agree (esp. for immunology)! This is super cool. Don't overlook the biophysics: gene expression & protein levels are great readouts, but are those proteins able to move/signal properly?
The next time politicians say there is no money for health or humanitarian aid, I will remember this: $1 billion per day on war
Nice work! Very interesting to see the integration of gc rhythms with cancer chrono(immuno)biology.
Grumpy claymation penguin sits on a chair with text saying “well now I am not doing it”
If you email me at 5:36 pm on a Friday to ask for something and then send a “gentle reminder” at 8:29 am on Monday, it makes me contrary.
If you think it’s absurd that essentially anyone can buy, load, and carry around a weapon made for war and/or to hunt giant game from a distance, please stand for gun control.
One of many reasons why equitable access to healthcare is so critical. My heart breaks for these children (yes, children).
Nobody should be forced to carry a child, and this could well have lethal consequences. Don't tell me you're "pro life" while committing these atrocities.
Really valuable insight into under-appreciated biology: non-24 hour sleep-wake disorder.
#Circadian #SleepPeeps
As I go to sleep around 5 am, after cooking for my adult child who woke up at 3:30 am, I'd like to share this link about Non-24. Considered rare in sighted people, it is also mis/under diagnosed. Below I'll share 4 reasons why. #Non24 #RareDiseaseDay

Nasal vaccines are a type of mucosal vaccine which look to be a real game changer in vaccination as they are better able to induce immune memory in the places we need them - in this case the lungs- than traditional shot in the arm vaccines. Really hope this research IS taken forward
This is very exciting!! Both the nasal vaccine tech and the broad results.
Worth a shot (ha!). We had to get titres run when applying for the green card and found it had waned so got a booster - didn't think it would be needed at the time, but here we are 🤦♀️
Freshly Lit! A recently published paper co-authored by members of SLRCH highlights the important role of sleep and circadian factors in the daily rhythms of positive affect during adolescence. Check it out here pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41621053/. #circadiantiming #sleep #affect

The Da Mesquita lab at Mayo Clinic (www.mayo.edu/research/lab...) is looking for a postdoctoral researcher to work on projects investigating the role(s) of the meningeal lymphatic vasculature in models of neurodegenerative diseases. Please spread the word and contact me in case you are interested! 😃
The SCRAP lab will be at @adaaanxiety.bsky.social this April presenting exciting work on #sleep and #anxiety!
First, join us on Thursday 4/9 in the 11am session on sleep and #PTSD to hear about how last night's sleep predicts next-day PTSD symptoms in sexual assault survivors. 1/2
Just don't leave them unattended near any penguins!
The gasp I gusped when I saw the one re: sauce. Travesty.
I'm invested now. I need to find out the final Sticky Toffee Pudding rankings.
Well, who among us hasn't considered invading one of our NATO allies? 🤦♀️
Iconic! I loved sailing as a kid and she was such an inspiration 🤩 TIL she also has a *dinosaur* named after her (it has a sail-like structure on its back). Goals.
Imprisoning children is child abuse. No matter how a child arrived in our country, we should not use government resources, taxpayer money, to abuse and traumatize children.
Bumping this to the science feed 🧪
Interesting science to ponder the interplay between seasonality and circadian rhythms.

Nice to see Texas in blue on the funding map 😂 thank you for sharing!
A stage in a concert hall, set up ready for a small orchestra. Behind the empty chairs is a large screen displaying the words "Blade Runner Live"
A treat tonight watching Blade Runner with live music. One of my favourite films, and I will watch it in as many formats as possible!
We joked whether it'd just be "one man and his Moog" (I'd still go). Nothing beats the 6-person theatrical production we once saw above a Manchester pub though 🦄
Freshly lit: Do psychiatric symptoms fluctuate across the day? Do the patterns differ by chronotype? A recent study by Balter et al. explores these questions in a sample of N = 515 adults.
