A study published last month in #JBR shows that humans exhibit seasonal changes in sleep, oxygen levels, and respiratory indices. Environmental rhythms and human biology are tightly linked!

Our new paper is out in @CurrentBiology where we address the question of why self-sustenance, a defining feature of circadian clocks might have been selected, when environments on Earth are rarely constant! sciencedirect.com/science/ar… #circadian #cyanobacteria #evolution

We competed self-sustained, damped, and arrhythmic cyanobacteria strains under different photoperiods. The result? While damped clocks can hold their own in winter-like short days, they get out-competed by self-sustained clocks in equinox and summer conditions.

This is also the first experimental evidence that annual change in daylength can be sufficient as a selective force for the evolution of self-sustained clocks over damped clocks.

It was an honor and a thrill to host the 15th Cyanobacteria Workshop last week at @VanderbiltU. The workshop was a huge success, with 95 attendees from 21 US states and 8 other countries discussing the planet's most ancient microorganisms. Thanks to the sponsors and presenters!

Clock people: here's Gapdh in brown fat, every 2 hours for 2 days. It's rhythmic everywhere. Maybe not the best control.

The vast majority over discoveries are low hanging fruit when they are made. The key to scientific progress is progressively making more fruit low-hanging. One of the deep problems we have in science is that we reward the people who pick the fruit rather than the ones who lower the branches.
20 May 2025
A basic question whose answer seems to me to dictate what the near-term future of scientific discovery looks like: is there a lot of attention-bottlenecked low-hanging fruit, or have humans done a reasonably good job finding the easy stuff?
