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).

Lighting conditions for lab mammals are currently set according to the sensitivity of human #vision.
This Consensus View defines alternative ‘animal-centric’ metrics and provides guidance for their use in #research to improve animal #welfare.

Spectrawear (our open-source wearable a-opic light dosimeter) has been in action to reveal associations between personal light exposure and subjective daytime sleepiness + the timing of night-time sleep in everyday life https://t.co/4sQdyh65VX
How should you measure light to predict its appearance to non-human mammals and what constitutes healthy lighting for animal husbandry? Here’s what we agreed when we met in Manchester earlier this year to discuss https://t.co/DjUButbeH5

The fantastic #Neuroepi20 attendees enjoying the sun and science. It's great to see so many familiar faces. We are looking forward to the next few days.
Back on 13th June we hosted the first MICRA PhD/Early Career Academic Conference: "Thinking Ageing & Older Age" @AmyCBarron and @nataliecott_ delivered a fantastic, thought provoking event. See a short film from the day here: https://t.co/F6mQjeNt8v

Do you think your sleep timings are healthy? Think again! Altug says chronotype a.k.a your sleep timing preferences can be an underlying cause for many health problems you face as you age. Best to be that morning person (no really!)#ThinkingAgeing#ThinkingTogether@MICRA_Ageing
