Congratulations to the SRBR 2020 Logo Competition Winner!
Congratulations to Maria Luisa Jabbur from Vanderbilt University (Nashville, TN) for winning the SRBR 2020 Logo Competition! The logo is inspired by a model from
a classic paper by
Eric Peterson that was published in the Journal of Theoretical Biology in 1980, which is often used to teach students about the concept of limit cycles in circadian rhythms, explains Maria Luisa.

Apply Today for the 2020 Trainee and Young Faculty Diversity Enhancement Fellowships
Are you a trainee or junior investigator interested in biological rhythms? Do you identify as an underrepresented minority (URM)? If you answered yes to both questions, the TYDE fellowships are for you!
TYDE fellowships will cover a portion of meeting and travel expenses. Trainee TYDE fellows will also be eligible for the SRBR Merit Awards. Selection for merit awards is based on the scientific merit of abstracts submitted by trainees, and would constitute additional financial support.

2019 Gruber Prize in Neuroscience
SRBR extends congratulations to our colleague and friend
Joseph S. Takahashi of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center as the recipient of the 2019 Gruber Neuroscience Prize.
Takahashi, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, is perhaps best known for his group's discovery of the Clock gene in mice, which is a master regulator of circadian rhythms in mammals.
The prize, which includes a $500,000 unrestricted cash award, will be presented to Takahashi on October 20 at the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in Chicago, Illinois. To read the complete Press Release, please

Public Outreach Update - Daylight Saving Time Press Kit
It's that time of the year again! With the end of Daylight Saving Time in sight, many SRBR members will be contacted by the press about their expert opinion on this topic. This year, we would like to encourage you to actively reach out to your university or local press to explain the disadvantages of permanent DST and the beneficial effects of permanent standard time.
To help you, a number of resources are available on the SRBR website, including a
Position Paper
that was published in the Journal of Biological Rhythms earlier this year, a beautiful
infographic
(Credit: UC San Diego BioClock Studio; PI: Susan S. Golden), a selection of talking points for members who would like to support dissemination efforts and press, as well as a list of references relating to DST, position in time zone, circadian misalignment, with health and safety outcomes.

Be a Part of ChronoFashio!
One of our member is looking to develop a series of exclusive silk scarves based on circadian and sleep motifs with a Swiss textile designer of great repute and creativity. The first one is a riotous mix of rods and cones, rhodopsin molecules, and the glorious world of flowers and butterflies that our eyes can see.
If you have aesthetic data from your research that you could envisage being turned upside down into a whirl of color, please send high resolution images with a full description of what they are to Anna Wirz Justice. It's an experiment without guarantee but she hopes there is gorgeous stuff out there.
