New LIGHTCAP output alert: 🚨
🚨Preprint alert @biorxiv_neursci!
Excited to share our latest research on the effects of afternoon light exposure on later evening melatonin production in adolescents. Check out the full preprint here: doi.org/10.1101/2024.10.02.6…

🚨#LIGHTCAP paper alert!
Did you know that our pupil´s dilation declines with age? @rafaelrlazar @mspitschan published a fully open Registered Report @royalsociety Open Science, investigating pupil size changes in real-world conditions. Check the 🧵 below!
Our paper, led by @rafaelrlazar, on the control of pupil size under real-world conditions, is now out at Royal Society Open Science (@royalsociety/@RSocPublishing). It has been in the making as a Registered Report since 2019. 1/

👏 #LIGHTCAP ESR @NikodemDerengo1 presenting his work on directionality of #light on the #LICHT2023 congress in Salzburg!
💡🔀👁️😴
And yes, we are aware of the irony that he is underexposed to light on the picture 🕯️😄

🚨New output with some LIGHTCAPPERS involved! The LEBA questionnaire article is now available as a preprint:
Now out as a preprint: Our paper on measuring behaviour related to light exposure (dx.doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-…).
☀️⛅️💡🕯️📱📺

🚨New paper alert!!!
Janine Staempfli's article on the lido – a device developed at @hslu to record light exposure near eye level – is out! The paper includes contributions by @LightCapITN members @rafaelrlazar @ollen44 @mspitschan.
@SAGEJournals
journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…
To demonstrate scientific applicability of the devices, ESR @rafaelrlazar at chronobiology.ch deployed a lido in an investigation of the determinants of steady-state pupil size under real-world conditions, comparing it to an @ASKOceanInsight spectrometer (STS-VIS).

Happy birthday (155) to a legendary researcher! Marie Skłodowska–Curie was the ONLY PERSON to win a Nobel Prize in two disciplines! #WomenInSTEM #MSCA 👩🔬
With such a great namesake the #LIGHTCAP consortium feels very proud to be part of the @MSCActions funding of @HorizonEU 🇪🇺
"It was like a new world opened to me, the world of science, which I was at last permitted to know in all liberty."
Marie Skłodowska Curie had an eventful life, discovering new chemical elements and receiving two Nobel Prizes.
