The retina contains numerous cell types. To what extent are retinal cell types conserved across species that greatly differ in visual needs? Our new preprint attempts to shed light on this question by integrating single-cell transcriptomic data from 17 vertebrate species.

How did the African striped mouse transition from the ancestral rodent nocturnal niche to a diurnal one? The Lucas lab Biological Time MCR + Ricardo Mallarino present a genome assembly of R. pumilio and delve into the genetic basis of this temporal niche evolution: cell.com/current-biolog…

Happy to share our latest paper in BMC Biology showing colour- opponent regulation of mouse behaviour: Colours resembling twilight oppose an innate tendency to avoid light! rdcu.be/dj4g6 [rdcu.be] From Liz Tamayo,Circadian_Josh,Robert Lucas, Biological Time MCR

How should you measure light to predict its appearance to non-human mammals and what constitutes healthy lighting for animal husbandry? Here’s what we agreed when we met in Manchester earlier this year to discuss preprints.org/manuscript/202…

Happy to share our latest paper in Journal of Physiology introducing staircase light stimuli to probe irradiance coding in the mouse SCN! An exciting journey with a fantastic team! Beatriz Bano-Otalora Riccardo Storchi Robert Lucas physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Spectrawear (our open-source wearable a-opic light dosimeter) has been in action to reveal associations between personal light exposure and subjective daytime sleepiness + the timing of night-time sleep in everyday life pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

We are currently looking for a PhD student to help build on our recent work looking at associations between personal light exposure and performance, fatigue and alertness in shift and non-shift workers. Apply by 10th November! findaphd.com/phds/project/m…

We are looking for talented postdocs to perform imaging of circadian glial and neuronal function in the deep brain. Please share! Please get in touch with me if you think you are a good fit! imperial.ac.uk/jobs/descripti…

Announcing the publication of ENLIGHT, the first consensus guidelines for reporting light-based interventions in eBioMedicine – The Lancet Discovery Science, with Laura Kervezee, Renske Lok, PhD, Dr Elise McGlashan, Ray P. Najjar and the ENLIGHT Consortium. 🔗 thelancet.com/journals/ebiom… 🌐 enlight-statement.org 🧵 1/6

Lighting conditions for lab mammals are currently set according to the sensitivity of human #vision. This Consensus View defines alternative ‘animal-centric’ metrics and provides guidance for their use in #research to improve animal #welfare. plos.io/3PlK36N

Proud to have been involved in this work establishing a framework for animal-centric light measurement; to aid experimental design and reproducibility and support approaches to improve animal health and well-being.
