BC just announced that it has adopted permanent DST -- pushing Vancouver winter sunrises to after 9 a.m. for about 5 weeks. The decision also leaned on a survey in which 93% of British Columbians supported perm DST. The survey didn't include an option for perm ST... My take: a bad move.
So, The Inner Clock wasn't actually my first book. I started with far more important subject matter. And the best genre ever: Choose Your Own Adventure... Will my Seahawks choose to pass or run this time?!? 😆

On today's episode, we talked with @lynnepeeps.bsky.social about how holiday lights affect our circadian rhythms, and discuss the possibility of a car-free Fremont bridge and the most Seattle stories of the year with @hannahkrieg.bsky.social and @guyoron.net megaphone.link/CC5083105289

“Fatigue is a really big problem,” one scientist told me. “We really need to figure this out — how to study it and how to intervene.” Link to my latest for @nature.com on why our brains get exhausted...

In case you missed reading it, now you can listen to it! And no offense if it puts you to sleep. I’d actually be flattered. 😆😴 @nature.com #sleep #circadianrhythm www.nature.com/articles/d41...
“We couldn’t tell if it was day or night.”
On top of crowded cells, meager rations and other reported cruelties of ICE detention, immigrants face a more insidious hazard… My latest for @theguardian.com.
What does science have to say about getting a good night's sleep? Quite a lot, really. @lynnepeeps.bsky.social captures most of it nicely in this feature www.nature.com/articles/d41...?
Happy Birthday to THE INNER CLOCK! 🥳 It’s been an incredible first trip around the sun. Huge thanks to every scientist, reader, reviewer, podcaster and supporter who has helped me spread the word about living clock-wise. 🙏☀️⏰🌙
Today, I was laid off from Cascade PBS along with my entire team and most of the newsroom. I'll have more to say, but I have loved my time as news editor alongside some of the best journalists I have ever worked with. Every time a newsroom closes, stories go with it. The silence that follows is loud
Still don't see it anywhere else. Please subscribe.

Honored to see THE INNER CLOCK in such great company! Thank you, Washington State Library, and congrats to all the finalists! ☀️⏰📚☺️🎉
Why are people having fewer children? According to one source: "A lot of men are undateable. Truly undateable.” 😆 @lynnepeeps.bsky.social offers a great in-depth look at falling fertility rates around the world, and how to adapt.

We need (good) science journalism now more than ever. And you'll find me and other journalists saying just that in this smart piece.

Here’s a bit of welcome (cautious) optimism! Maybe we should bring back the OG 7-Up recipe? 😉
Fun to report this news for @nature.com …
Feeling stressed? You are far from alone. And scientists are working hard to help. I'm happy to share my latest for @nature.com, with stellar editing from Beth Quill, on how better stress assessment and tailored interventions could fend off lasting damage. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Great to return to New Day NW and talk #sleep with Kelly! Link in comments…

Thanks to the #sleeppeeps for coming to Seattle! (And for my “personalized” merch. 😄) Fun to connect with experts who generously guided me on my book journey and to meet more brilliant researchers. I left #SLEEP25 more excited than ever about sleep and circadian science, if that was possible…
“Inoculation against misinformation is available...” I dusted off my biostats for an op-ed today in the @latimes.com
Still smiling about my close encounters with manta rays, sea turtles, dolphins, and lots of pretty fishies! A welcome escape to Kona last week. 🐬🏝️🌋🍹🍍🐠
So special to have an event at my hometown bookstore. Thank you, @brick-mortar.bsky.social, and to everyone who made it out! Wonderful to see many teachers, neighbors, and friends — some who I haven’t seen in decades! 🥰

Missing Tucson already! Thank you, Tucson Festival of Books, for a wonderfully nerdy weekend. Back in dreary Seattle, but still feeling energized by the doses of inner clock-calibrating sunshine and conversations with fellow writers!
