That’s a wrap on #SLRCH2025! This board is grateful to our speakers, attendees, and sponsors for a great conference 🤗 Stay tuned for updates about next years meeting and the curriculum coming in 2026! #light #circadian #science
In an exciting new addition to the Year in Review, Dr. Melissa St. Hilaire highlighted important advances in modeling 📈 and technology 📲 #SLRCH2025
Dr. Milena Pavlova then took us through recent advances in the application of ⏰chronobiology ⏰ to clinical practice 🥼🩺 #SLRCH2025
Our Year in Review session began with an energizing overview of the basic literature from Dr. Jonathan Lipton #SLRCH2025
The final day of SLRCH began with an exciting lineup of talks selected from basic, translational, and clinical abstracts with methods ranging from gene knockout models to Apple Watches 🔥🔥 #SLRCH2025
Family responsibilities kept me away from #SLRCH2025 this year, but I'm so proud of students from my Sleep & Circadian rhythms course who attended!
The dilemma of speaking on the last day of a conference but loving a good party the night before 😬 #SLRCH2025 you make it too hard to leave the dancefloor!! Please, no hard questions tomorrow ❤️
Incredible keynote address by Dr. Charles Czeisler on the impact of light on human health. A wonderful review of the past, present, and future of our field! ⏰💡☀️ #SLRCH2025
The Basic session of selected talks covered exciting topics including diurnal protein rhythmicity, neuronal clock control of behavior, and effects of circadian rhythm disruption on neurodevelopment 🧠⏰ #SLRCH2025
Dr. Marta Garaulet finished the clinical session presenting on food timing, siesta, and obesity #SLRCH2025
Next up is Dr. Stephanie Crowley presenting data on ⏰circadian photoentrainment ☀️in teens #SLRCH2025
The clinical session kicks off with a talk by Dr. Jessica Lunsford-Avery on the role of 💡light irregularity 💡in ADHD #SLRCH2025
Dr. Jacqueline Lane concludes the session by discussing the genetics of sleep & circadian rhythms and exciting findings tracking key genes across different species - from GWAS to model organisms and back to humans! #SLRCH2025
Dr. Jeanne Duffy is up next with an excellent presentation on changes to sleep & circadian rhythms in aging. #SLRCH2025
Another fantastic group of selected talks today! From the ISS to the science museum, our members show their creative approaches to studying light and its effects on human health ☀️ #SLRCH2025
⏰☀️Fabulous presentations at the data blitz from trained thru senior profs! The state of the light and circadian science is strong! #SLRCH2025
✨✨Congrats to Pablo Bonilla Villamil for winning the J. Christian Gillin early career award for his work on the effects of blue light at night on anxiety behavior!✨✨ #SLRCH2025
Fonken lab representin' at #SLRCH2025! Invited talk for Laura and selected abstracts for myself and grad student Brandy Routh. Excited to share lots of cool work on circadian rhythms and microglia functions 🧠⏰
Rounding out the Basic Invited session, Ashley Ingiosi @ashleyingiosi.bsky.social describes the role of astrocytes 🧠 in 💤sleep-wake💤 regulation #SLRCH2025
Next up in the Basic Invited session, Laura Fonken discusses the role of circadian rhythms in microglia and neuroinflammation #SLRCH2025
Exciting talk by Diego Fernandez about the effects of light💡💡 on brain regions beyond the SCN #SLRCH2025
Opening talk by Michael Do on principles of photoentrainment by intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) #SLRCH2025
SLRCH President Corrado Garbazza introduces the new SLRCH board members. Welcome to the board! @delaineywescott.bsky.social @rebecca-cox.bsky.social @mspitschan.bsky.social @aliamidi.bsky.social #SLRCH2025
We round out the session with a dive into circadian analysis with Dr. Melissa St. Hilaire, who takes us through cosinor analysis and beyond! #SLRCH2025
Followed by an introduction to the Circadia study from Dr. Jacqueline Lane, in which participants receive a lab-in-a-box to perform circadian phenotyping at home 🥼🧪 #SLRCH2025
🌞 Rise and shine, today's the day! 🌞
Our #SLRCH2025 presentations will be taking place at Simmons University and Brigham and Women's Hospital. Today we especially welcome our trainee members and those new to the field of light and circadian health: from basic science through to clinical practice.
Just 1 more sleep until #SLRCH2025, we look forward to hosting you in Boston!☀️⏰ Our keynote this year is from Dr. Charles Czeisler (Harvard Medical School, Brigham and Women's Hospital), discussing the impact of natural and artificial light on human health.
