The idea of limiting morning sunlight exposure by permanent daylight savings is terrible. A macaque monkey could look at the (vast) scientific literature on this & understand that our mental & physical health benefits from more morning & daytime (sun)light & less light at night.

Day 30 of great biology papers. 🎆The final day.🎆 "General Nature of the Genetic Code for Proteins," by F. Crick, S. Brenner, L. Barnett & R.J. Watts-Tobin (1961). This paper is, in my opinion, the most impressive in the history of molecular biology. Here's why... **** When

I know *so* much about the double helix and the people involved, but I keep finding more. Here's a fabulous copper and cardboard model, made by Crick in early May 1953 and taken with him to Edinburgh for a talk (he left it there). Now in National Museum of Scotland. h/t Rebekah Higgitt

Excerpt from the Huberman Lab podcast with Dr. Dr. Samer Hattar, Chief of the Section on Light and Circadian Rhythms at the National Institute of Mental Health (National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)), discussing the adverse effects of daylight saving time.

Not only should the clock change be abolished, but Permanent Standard Time should be adopted for its alignment with our circadian biology and relevance to health and safety. Read NSF's Position Statement on Permanent Standard Time published in 2021. thensf.org/wp-content/upl…

The central premise of Nate's piece (which if you're this deep into our debate, you should go ahead and read/subscribe) is that daylight sunlight itself is a commodity to be preserved/maximized because of population preference To his credit, he does some math about adjusted

“Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky, the flying cloud, the frosty light, the year is dying in the night - ring out, wild bells, and let him die. Ring out the old, ring in the new, ring, happy bells, across the snow, the year is going - let him go...” ~ Alfred Lord Tennyson
