Laboratory of Seasonal Biology

Updating your reading list for the Autumn/Fall? Oxford University Press has release Chapter 1 for free! The book is well suited for undergraduate, graduate, medical/veterinary courses and general interest! Long-term physiological stability in nature academic.oup.com/book/55780/cha…

Excited to join the Messerli Research Institute Scientific Advisory Board at the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna - vetmeduni.ac.at/en/messerli Looking forward to participating in the direction of the research advances from the new expansion. @VetmeduniVienna

Thank you very much for the invitation Valeria! It was a wonderful visit and really enjoyed learning about all the excellent research ongoing in your group. Exciting times ahead!

@DrGaurav007 Science twitter appears to have moved to bluesky. The move is helping to keep both science and public communities updated/informed.

@Stevenson_Lab Ur soo.. so.. modern!.. ahead of us.. 😃.. if u know what I mean..

We are starting a new social media page on bluesky! Check out our new page, follow and we will follow back. The twitter account will continue to be used. @stevensonlab.bsky.social

Excited to announce a funded PhD studentship available to study how plants, flies, and mammals are responding to climate change, working with @stevenson_lab and @NathanWoodling.

Are you or do you know someone who is looking for a PhD project? Please see (share) a position we are advertising to investigate the impact of temperature dependent splicing on biological rhythms #d.en.1117941" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">gla.ac.uk/colleges/mvls/… @BioClocksUK @EbrsOfficial @SRBR_Outreach

Excellent opportunity to share the latest work from group members Irem, Adam & Calum on mechanisms of polyphenisms. Thank you to our colleagues Dr Anna Przybylska-Piech & the Dept Vertebrate Biology & Ecology for the wonderful time in Torun.

A rather interesting and enlightening read.

@brodiebp @lesliephillmore @JNE_Editor @bsneuroendo Congrats Brodie!

🚨 New paper from the @lesliephillmore lab out today @JNE_Editor @bsneuroendo Led by the (Twitter-less) Sean Aitken, we looked at seasonal differences in neurogenesis in song *and* auditory circuits in male and female European starlings 🐦‍⬛🧠 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jn…

The home of Nicolaus Copernicus in Torun Poland. The discoverer of a heliocentric universe. It would be very difficult to explain annual changes in daylength if the sun wasn't the centre of the universe.

Morning Nick. Excited to visit Torun and spend 3 weeks working with Anna Przybylska-Piech and colleagues at the Nicolas Copernicus University.

@SergioHidalgoSo @WSUPullman @WSUvetmed Congrats Sergio, very well deserved.

I am thrilled to announce that I will start my lab in the Department of Integrative Physiology and Neuroscience at @WSUPullman @WSUvetmed in July 2025! We’ll use Drosophila to study how seasons influence brain structure and function, from molecules to physiology and behavior.

We are really excited to have you join our group in @PhysiologyUog @UofGSBOHVM to conduct your research!.

One of the best parts of academia is lab research visits. We have hosted Avalene Tan from UT Dallas this summer. An amazing student, person and promising scientist. Excellent talk today on seasonal morphology in brown adipose tissue. @UofGSBOHVM

Interested to read more? A larger and more accessible description of the hierarchical organization of physiology is described in the book: global.oup.com/academic/produ…
