 As you all know, it is critical for our research efforts to have chronobiology represented well at NIH study sections.  And many of us have complained about lack of sufficient representation in the past.    We now have the opportunity to recommend reviewers, and so I’m contacting you all to identify potential grant reviewers. I urge […]

A trail-blazer in the transcriptional and epigenetic regulation of circadian clock function, Paolo Sassone-Corsi, passed away suddenly on July 22, 2020. His three former postdoctoral fellows, Nicholas Foulkes, Kirstin Eckel-Mahan and Nicolas Cermakian, pay tribute to his life and contributions as a chronobiologist in an article in the Journal of Pineal Research. https://doi.org/10.1111/jpi.12692.
