Open and reproducible analysis of light exposure and visual experience data (Online Course)
Light exposure and visual experience are key drivers of circadian timing, melatonin regulation and ocular development, but real-world wearable datasets are large, sometimes messy, and hard to analyse reproducibly and with scientific robustness. LightLogR is an open-source R package that streamlines import, validation, analysis and visualisation of light-logging data in tidy, FAIR-oriented workflows—developed specifically for […]
Daylight Awareness Week 2025 will explore Future Solar Societies from 3 to 7 November!
This year’s Daylight Awareness Week explores how daylight can help build healthier, more sustainable, and fairer societies – for both people and the ecosystems we depend on. From climate-friendly architecture to traditional knowledge of living with daylight, from emerging technologies like artificial photosynthesis to sunlight-driven processes in forests and oceans — this week will highlight […]
