The clocks around &
within us

Enter the archive and follow the trails of dolphins sleeping with one side of the brain, dig into the wiring diagram of circadian clocks, ask why roses can bloom in winter, and how, during evolution, life on earth has adapted to the geophysical day/night environment.

This visual representation of the history and science of chronobiology premiered at the art exhibition "Lighten Up! On Biology and Time".

Curated by Anna Wirz-Justice with Bharath Ananthasubramaniam, Steven A. Brown, Horacio O. de la Iglesia, Diego A. Golombek, Carl Johnson, Till Roenneberg, William J. Schwartz 2023.
