My first paper is finally out in Journal of Experimental Biology 🤩

In hooded seals, the circadian clock tells them when to wake up & when to sleep. Ciccone &co show that the clock also tells their mitochondria when to be more efficient at making energy, allowing for deeper dives during the day.

i) for every 2.5 PhD hired in 🇮🇹, 1 Italian PhD is hired in the 🇺🇸
ii) In 🇮🇹, there's a ratio positions available/PhDs of 1:100
iii) Sapienza Università di Roma gives the highest number of PhDs to the 🇺🇸, and more than 1/3 get into the most prestigious universities. nature.com/articles/d4397…

Great summary of lovely work on hypoxia tolerance in seals #Europhysiology2022

Great turn out for Chiara's talk! And a great presentation from Chiara, well done!
