The latest announcements from SLRCH.
We’ve been made aware of fraudulent emails circulating in SLRCH’s name and that of its representatives. These messages can look legitimate but come from unofficial addresses, and may ask for personal information or financial assistance. Don’t reply, click links, or open attachments from suspicious messages — SLRCH only communicates through official, verifiable channels. If you receive one, please report it to contact.slrch@gmail.com.
We’re pleased to welcome five new members to the SLRCH board: Ali Amidi, Beatriz Bano-Otalora, Rebecca Cox, Manuel Spitschan, and Delainey Wescott. Their combined expertise spans the full translational range from basic to clinical science, adding valuable new perspectives to the board.
SLRCH board members Dr. Manuel Spitschan and Dr. Renske Lok, together with international colleagues, contributed to a new set of evidence-based public health statements on the non-visual effects of light exposure, produced through the Ladenburg Light and Health Consortium — aimed at improving communication around healthy light exposure for the general public.
The integrative Human Circadian Daylight Platform (iHCDP) at the University of Basel is planning a new Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) course on light and its effects. For details, visit the iHCDP website or contact the course coordinator, Nadja Schaubhut, at nadja.schaubhut@unibas.ch.
SLRCH is glad to endorse the ENLIGHT Checklist — the first consensus checklist for reporting light-based interventions used in human clinical trials and experiments.
To better reflect the changing landscape of research and practice among our members, the Society for Light Treatment and Biological Rhythms has been renamed the Society for Light, Rhythms, and Circadian Health. Members voted on the new name and logo, and we’re proud to introduce our new website at slrch.org.
