How to measure light for laboratory mammals? How to replicate experimental conditions? What light for husbandry? Delighted to announce the publication of our consensus view answering these questions (summarised in Box 3).

We find widespread failure to achieve recommendations for daytime light. Does this matter for healthy adults leading ordinary lives? Alertness higher on days with brighter light in morning and light through day associated with earlier bedtimes. @altugdidikoglu @BrownlabV

Proud to be part of this project led by @BrownlabV showing the importance of colour for mice.
Happy to share our latest paper in @BMCBiology showing colour- opponent regulation of mouse behaviour: Colours resembling twilight oppose an innate tendency to avoid light! [ From Liz Tamayo,@CircadianJosh,@RobLucasDar, @Time_MCR

Great summary of our latest on striped mice from Ricardo in this thread.
Happy to share the results of a fun collaboration with @roblucas and his group, out in @CurrentBiology. Unlike most rodents, African striped mice (ASM) are diurnal, which provides a cool opportunity to study how this trait evolved... 🧵👇 1/n

We asked how well optogenetic therapy could recreate the visual code in advanced retinal degeneration - reassuringly well! Great collaboration. #optogenetic #genetherapy
