It's time to remove laptops from classrooms. 24 experiments: Students learn more and get better grades after taking notes by hand than typing. It's not just because they're less distracted—writing enables deeper processing and more images. The pen is mightier than the keyboard.

This is great news for the U.S.! While we support abolishment of the biannual switching of the clocks, permanent Standard Time is the better option for our sleep😴, health ⚕️, and even for the safety of our children on the way to school in the mornings 🚍

With the US govt making catastrophic cuts to its health and medical research programs, American experts are saying that Australia has to step up. When we debate the Centre for Disease Control legislation in the House tomorrow, I'll be proposing amendments to increase its size and scope. It's the right thing to do - but it's also a great economic and diplomatic opportunity for us. theguardian.com/australia-news…

Our glial circadian atlas in AD and aging mice is now out in @NatureNeuro! Congrats to @patwsheehan for incredible work and to our collaborators @johnthefryer, @CarpeRibosomam, @darshan1s, Ron Anafi, and the team. @johnthefryer and I started this in 2019! nature.com/articles/s4159…

Light at night and heart disease! Published today in JAMA Network Open. We found that those with the brightest nights had higher risks of coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and stroke. jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…
