Fighting jet lag with science: A new, evidence-based lighting design on Qantas's A350 aircraft could reduce passengers' jetlag by aligning their body clocks ⏱️ to their destination's time zone while still flying
Research translation & impact, this unique design is the result of a partnership between @sydney_uni's @CPC_usyd, @Qantas Caon Design Office

It’s Sleep Week! Today we look at Melatonin, the ‘hormone of darkness,’ naturally produced in the pineal gland at the base of the brain. But as we age, what happens to our sleep patterns when melatonin production declines? Discover the answers here: bit.ly/3rpuH8G

It was great talking to @AlainaGLevine for this @APSphysics feature article on unusual careers in Physics. Physicists do so many interesting things with so many important applications. Some more unusual careers from APS: aps.org/publications/apsnews…

Meet neurophysicist @Sveta_Postnova, whose work at @Sydney_Uni studying jet lag could make 20-hour flights more bearable. Buckle up and sit back with #APSnews: go.aps.org/3OV12wQ. @AlainaGLevine

New paper 🚨
Biomathematical models can provide tailored shift work interventions, but can we implement them?
In this study, we examined whether nurses can adhere to personalised sleep recommendations provided using two models (the Phillips-Robinson Model and the Model of Arousal Dynamics). We also note some practical considerations for future use and delivery of personalised recommendations for shift workers.

Super stoked to share this! @tracey_sletten @Sveta_Postnova , @circadianumbers , @smwrajaratnam, Stuart Knock, Mark Howard.
Findings inform our current work (more on that later).

Thank you for the feature article, Alaina and APSphysics. It was lovely talking to you, what a great energy!
Loved writing about @Sveta_Postnova , a neurophysicist at the @Sydney_Uni for @APSphysics . She uses her expertise to improve the experience of 19 hour flights for @Qantas , reducing jet lag and creating a healthier experience.
Curious on how you can craft Your Unicorn Career?
