Why DST is wrong for Alberta

Bell: Alberta will now be on daylight saving time year-round, says Premier Smith Alberta will now be on daylight time year-round, reveals Alberta Premier Danielle Smith in an exclusive interview.

Very disappointing. Because of our northern location and western offset from the Mountain time zone, this is the wrong choice for most of Alberta.

Could syncing medical treatment with circadian rhythms improve outcomes? A growing field of research suggests that some medical treatments, such as cancer therapy or vaccines, might be more effective when given at certain times of the day

Can't wait for the Winterfylleth interview, huge fan, excited about the new release

Opinion: Consequences of B.C.'s shift to permanent daylight saving time need to be fully considered For the sake of our health and well-being, and particularly that of our children, the shift should be thoughtfully reconsidered

A pediatric neurologist at B.C. Children's Hospital says we need to reconsider shift to permanent daylight savings time due to risks for children's health and safety

Congrats KL Nikhil and collaborators on inventing MITE to map functional brain connections! Surprising take home: MITE reveals 5 cell types (based on their connectivity) in the mouse circadian clock which underlie the daily wave of gene expression. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Spending Sunday with #GeddyLee. For the reissue on vinyl, they updated the album title to the Canadian spelling: "My Favourite Headache" 🇨🇦

I'm warming my ears up for the #NeObliviscaris show tomorrow night! They'll be performing this album Citadel and their most recent album Exul in full. And #RiversOfNihil will open by performing their newest album in full. Should be an amazing night!

#NeObliviscaris are one of my recent addictions. Just got a copy of their first album on vinyl. MDM from Australia 🇦🇺 with a violin. It's an amazing album, but if you've got 12 minutes to spare, give "And plague flowers the kaleidoscope" a listen, so much going on in that track, I absolutely love it!

Magical Auroras in Calgary tonight! I can't remember seeing reds like this in quite some time!

Happy to share our newest pub, out now in Neuroscience. We show that neurons in the Hamster circadian clock, but not that of the rat or mouse, are surrounded by dense perineuronal nets, possibly explaining why this species has such a precise circadian rhythm. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Should Canada stop changing the clocks twice a year? MP says it's time | CBC News An MP says all of Canada should end the practice of changing the clocks twice a year — and is planning on introducing legislation she hopes will ensure the custom is lost to time.

My copy of the new album from #Blackbraid arrived today. Wonderfully creative Indigenous black metal. I really loved the textures of Blackbraid II. So far, so good on Blackbraid III.

A little #Fallujah to kick off the long weekend. Their new release Xenotaph is really strong. Got to see a couple of the band members guesting with Obscura and Born of Osiris earlier this year. Hopefully there will be a chance to see them preforming their own stuff soon.
