Clockwatchers will have new organizersCCB welcomes Paula Desplats and Daniel Whittaker newly appointed organizers “Clockwatchers. This journal club was founded by David Welsh in 2001, and meet once a month during the academic year to discuss recent clock-related articles or current lab research. To be added to the mailing list, contact: patties@ucsd.edu.

Partch lab create structural animation of Kai circadian oscillator
Carrie Partch (UC Santa Cruz) and former student Jeff Swan, worked with Janet Iwasa and her postdoc Franchescka Lopez (Rivera at the University of Utah) to create an animation of the structural changes in the KaiA-KaiB-KaiC cyanobacteria circadian oscillator during its daily cycle.

Additive Effects of Time-restricted Feeding and Caloric Restriction on Lifespan
Acosta-Rodriguez and colleagues from Joseph Takahashi’s lab report in a phenomenal paper in Science, that in mice, caloric restriction with feeding time aligned with circadian rhythms lengthens lifespan more than caloric restriction alone. Dr. Takahashi is a CCB advisory board member.

Daylight Saving Time could become permanent
US senate has approved a bill that would make Daylight Saving Time (DST) permanent. While it would liberate us from the time-changes twice a year, sleep and circadian scientists argue that Permanent Standard Time, as opposed to DST, would be a better choice. Photo credit Elise Amendola / AP.
