Eva of Easternblot just published a nice article about circadian clocks in her school newspaper. Much good stuff was cut out during the editing process, but she posted those good parts on her blog so you can see what the editors left out.

Yikes! I hope nobody gave you this candy last night!
Is that just sand inside? I'd like to see someone do a chemical analysis of "Jesus' Blood"

One of th efirst posts on Circadiana, just defining what the blog was about (January 17, 2005):
-----------------------------------------------
When I first took a class on Biological Clocks (eleven years ago), the instructor explained why biorhythms are not science. This was done with such fun,…

Check out the freshly unvailed Open Healthcare Manifesto, designed to foster "open media" in healthcare and medicine and to implement "some sort of a new "integrity standard" ... needed to help people sort through the junk that openness unfortunately tends to generate."

Now the 10 finalists have been announced and you should go here to cast your vote.

The worst Tevye ever (January 26, 2005)
----------------------------------------------------
I have seen "Fiddler on the Roof" on stage more than 20 times in my life, starting at about the age of seven. Since I was about 24, I saw the movie a few times. I have had, over the years, LPs, tapes and…

Humans do it, great apes do it, dolphins do it, now elephants (also here) have also been shown to do it - recognize themselves in the mirror, i.e., realize that the image in the mirror is the image of themselves and not a strange animal. That's a biggie in the world of cognitive science and the…

I have a couple of subscription for Google News e-mail notifications for terms like "circadian" and what-not. This makes me informed fast enough for what I need (i.e., making a decision to blog or not about the news). Usually, I'd get 2-3 new entries for the "circadian" search-term each day (and…

Groups And Grumps: Study Identifies 'Sociality' Neurons:
A University of California, San Diego study has for the first time identified brain cells that influence whether birds of a feather will, or will not, flock together. The research demonstrates that vasotocin neurons in the medial extended…

Apparently, the timing of sporting events in Beijing, probably driven by needs of American TV audiences, did not take into consideration the best time of day for athletic performance. But who cares about athletes, or even about breaking Olympic and world records, when delivering Joe Schmoe to the…

Trotting With Emus To Walk With Dinosaurs:
One way to make sense of 165-million-year-old dino tracks may be to hang out with emus, say paleontologists studying thousands of dinosaur footprints at the Red Gulch Dinosaur Tracksite in northern Wyoming. Because they are about the same size, walk on two…

In my part of the world, and most of the US and Europe as well, there was a general agreement that all clocks would be set an hour off back in April. This may have made sense in a world in which most people worked on a single shift, and most factories were lit via skylights for that single shift,…
