A new groundbreaking discovery in the circadian field was just made, with participation of our very own Paul Hardin @TAMU_Biology @TAMU_CBCR and his postdoc Nirav Thakkar š„³šš„. @TAMUArtSci @TAMU.
This is the most important paper in the circadian field in over a decade. A completely new clock component that is evolutionarily conserved. @Eric_E_Zhang @susanksgolden @ @SRBR_Outreach .

Seeing the light at the 20th ICRP in beautiful Interlaken with our HFSP team!
The 20th ICRP was fantastic! It featured a wealth of surprising and inspiring studies, bringing together old friends, new friends, legends, and newcomers to celebrate science. Thank you so much for organizing this amazing conference, and see you again in Siena in 2026!. #ICRP2024
