Episode 22 of the Performance Around the Clock podcast is another episode from the 2024 Society for Research on Biology Rhythms (SRBR) biennial meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico. We are honored to host this week’s guest, Dr. Charlotte Förster, who epitomizes perseverance in her long scientific career studying circadian rhythms We’ll talk about her work to understand the circadian clock at the molecular and neuronal level, how the clock synchronizes with the day/night cycles and how the clock controls behavior. You’ll also hear about her fascinating research on the synchronization of menstrual cycles with lunar cycles and its implications. Dr. Förster is a professor in Neurobiology and Genetics at the University of Würzburg. Thank you for listening.
