New method (MITE as in "mighty") to map the 1000's of connections in the central circadian clock by @circatwenty4 and @Bharatsin175. They identify Broadcast neurons that lead the synchronization of cellular daily rhythms.

Deep in the brain, a small region called the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) acts as the body’s master clock. It coordinates daily rhythms in vital processes like sleep, metabolism, and immune functi...

Congrats @circatwenty4 and collaborators on inventing MITE to map functional brain connections! Surprising take home: MITE reveals 5 cell types (based on their connectivity) in the mouse circadian clock which underlie the daily wave of gene expression.

Circadian rhythms in mammals arise from the spatiotemporal synchronization of ~20,000 neuronal clocks in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). Althoug...

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis find the timing of biopsy can affect how doctors diagnose tumors and when those cancers may be more sensitive to chemotherapy.

"The U.S. has been a world leader in research for decades, and that leadership position is now at risk," said SfN President John H. Morrison in a new NPR article. Read more SfN member perspectives: https://t.co/Dehhi2EwKb

Eighty-six years ago today, on Kristallnacht, windows of Jewish shops were shattered. Nazis burned over 1,400 synagogues, looted Jewish homes and businesses, and murdered Jews in the streets. It started with words. With lies, boycotts, vandalism and silence. The hatred looks

See @SaveStandard for more on the debate for permanent Standard Time
What happened the last time the U.S. tried permanent DST? 79% supported it beforehand, but after many dark winter mornings, support plunged to 42%. People didn’t like it! The most recent permanent DST bill failed, and history shows that's for the best. https://t.co/vLi2QTQ8Bb

Always exciting to kick off the ASSURE program application season. Know of any college students in #StLouis who are looking for an introduction to research? ASSURE is specifically intended for students who have not had easy access to similar opportunities. #ASSURE2025
Anesthesiology Summer Research Fellowship apps are now open for the summer 2025 cohort! All #STL area undergrads/recent college grads can apply. Students from backgrounds historically underrepresented in science/medicine are encouraged to apply:

We worked hard to get polling stations on both @WUSTL campuses. @WashUdbbs and others who want to vote in STL city (students, faculty, staff, patients) please use the NEW polling station in McDonnell Building.
Tomorrow is #ElectionDay! The WashU Athletic Complex will welcome students, faculty, staff, and neighbors registered to vote in St. Louis County. For the first time, @washumedicine will also host a polling place for St. Louis City registered voters.

Your claims are supported by evidence for permanent Standard Time—the opposite of your proposed permanent DST. Please amend! #DitchDST @SenRickScott @ScottforFlorida
Don’t forget to fall back tonight! And when you wake up tired, remember it shouldn’t be this way. We need to pass my bill and lock the clock once and for all!

Happy end of Daylight Saving Time. For health, safety, and economics let’s keep Permanent Standard Time. @SRBR_Outreach @SaveStandard @ResearchSleep

20 states have posted bills for permanent Standard Time this year. That has to be a record.
One thing #Missouri voters agree on: The twice-a-year change to and from #DaylightSavingTime has got to go. https://t.co/4xazOFyV1J
