⏰ Is it time to set the sun on daylight saving? As most Australian states & territories wind their clocks forward on 6 Oct to observe daylight saving, debate heats up over whether we should have it at all. 🔗 bit.ly/4eEYM7H @GachonLab Meltem Weger Benjamin Weger

“Standard Time all year round is the better option.” #DitchDST #DaylightSavingTime imb.uq.edu.au/article/2023/1…

Scientific societies that specialise in biological rhythms have consistently called to abolish #DaylightSaving Time (DST) due to its associated health risks. A/Prof @GachonLab, Meltem Weger and Benjamin Weger say DST can lead to delayed bedtimes, leading to inadequate sleep.

EMCRs join us an informal breakfast and the opportunity to discuss various topics around Science communication. 9am Friday October 18th in Level 2 Board Room Institute for Molecular Bioscience Places are very limited, so please RSVP to secure your spot: form.jotform.com/242540418020847

Thank you to all who attended our "Science Communication" Breakfast event this morning! A big thanks to our guest speakers Neroli and Bronwyn. Institute for Molecular Bioscience

EMCRA is hosting the final BBQ of the year! Come join us for a snag and a drink! No need to register.

We have trillions of body clocks. Frederic Gachon @GachonLab & Benjamin Weger UQ News explain how they work with light to control so many aspects of our health. theconversation.com/how-light-tell…

We know that light exposure is crucial for our health but did you know that the timing is too? How does our body know when it’s time to seep, focus and 💩? And what’s light got to do with it? 🔗 Read more: bit.ly/40mjtRa ✍️ @GachonLab & Benjamin Weger

With the annual change from daylight saving time to standard time approaching on Sunday, Nov. 3, a recent position statement from the Sleep Research Society advocates for the elimination of daylight saving time and the adoption of permanent standard time. ow.ly/YaBs50TWCV6

Thank you to everyone who come up and enjoyed our EOY BBQ Institute for Molecular Bioscience. Special thanks to the organisers and master chefs 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳!

A comprehensive multiomics analysis in Science Translational Medicine identifies three major molecular subtypes of NAFLD in two cohorts of patients in China, shows new research that could inform efforts to predict and intervene in the risk of progressing to cirrhosis or liver cancer. 📄:

Thank you to A/Prof. Nathan Palpant (IMB Group Leader and co-founder of Infensa Bioscience) and Dr. Christopher Haggarty-Weir (Managing Director at Obsidian Ventures and Consulting) for sharing their insight at our Networking for success workshop.

It's an honour to be awarded two Institute for Molecular Bioscience Impact Awards🥇🥇: - Mental and physical health, safety and wellness. - Community, diversity and inclusion. Thank you to the entire team for the tremendous effort throughout the year. We're looking forward to another great one next year.

Daylight saving time ends Sunday in Australia. Why do we change our clocks? And how does it affect our bodies? theconversation.com/daylight-savin… via The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand

Here's how your body might respond when you turn your clock back an hour on Saturday night. Meltem Weger UQ News theconversation.com/daylight-savin…

Time change season is here! While most Australian states set clocks back, QLD, WA & NT don't practice it. Benjamin Weger and I break down why this might be a win in our latest piece for The Conversation. ⏰☀️EMCRA@IMB UQ News theconversation.com/daylight-savin… via The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand
