#grc #chronobiology #CT20. Thanks to @SamerHattar for organizing such a great lineup of stellar scientists!

Judged a poster session this week. A few grad students yelled "Oh! The circadian lady!" as I approached. I'm not mad, they're not wrong. 😁🤓⏰

Where are you right now on this activity plot? Do you fit in with the crowd, or are you at the tail of the distribution?
HT @kim1n4o for sending this fascinating illustration of #chronotype by @Ros_Rodriguez_

This is my first GRC!!! I'm so pumped!!!
Dr. Samer Hattar@SamerHattar
I am ecstatic, happy, delighted, overjoyed and relieved that the full program for the GRC/GRS chronobiology 2023 is online. I have already accepted 100 applications. So 50% of the conference is sold out already. Hope to see you all there for the GRC/GRS. grc.org/chronobiology-…

New pre-print led by @DillonMcGovern1 @ampolter @anni3_ly @EmilyDPrevost and @ConnorMcNulty_ showing that a subset of VTA glutamate neurons establish a mu-opioid receptor gated circuit to mesolimbic dopamine neurons and participate in opioid-seeking behavior

@youknowjonrowe That sounds familiar - maybe we read a paper on that in college? Kind of obscure though. Seems the theory never really picked up. 🤷🏻♀️

@youknowjonrowe It's almost like we're animals too, or something. Idk.

🙌 THE 4 DAY WORK WEEK HAS HIT IRELAND WITH ASTONISHING RESULTS. 🙌
The Irish Findings are as follows:
• 100% of the companies involved are continuing with the 4-Day work week ➡
• 85% of companies which reported data on revenue reported growth in revenue 📈 (1/X)

New paper examining the sensitivity of young children's phase shifting response to evening light!
Society for Research on Biological Rhythms@SRBR_Outreach
Like adults, children's circadian systems are highly sensitive to light, as @laurenhartstein et al show in their new #JBR paper. Can bright light before bed explain difficulty in getting children to sleep? Read more here: doi.org/10.1177/074873…

Are you allowed to defend a PhD in circadian rhythms if you consistently forget about the time change? Asking for a friend. #DaylightSavingsTime #cancelDST #SaveStandardTime #EndDaylightSaving

@ProtestaBloc @ThePinkBengal So this is why I feel on the verge of a crisis entering my 30s...

What a smart “selfish” PI says
“It is in my best interest that you take some paid time off*”
Burnout is real, and it cost much more time and effort to replace someone than to just tell them to take time off to those that are reluctant**. Also, it is just being a decent human.
