Dear TIPSters, I found this article (Out of Sync) to be a very interesting one. http://www.the-scientist.com//?articles.view/articleNo/37269/title/Out-of-Sync/ It is from _The Scientist_ and discusses the link between circadian rhythms, zeitgebers, eating, obesity, and metabolic disorders. I plan on having my Brain and Behavior students read it (I made what I hope are helpful notations on the copy I'm having my students read). I think it posits an intriguing account of why we in "first world" countries, with altered sleeping and eating habits exacerbated by our leisure activity choices, tend to suffer from certain metabolic disorders more often than others. It seems to tie research together in nice ways by linking studies of obesity and studies of sleep to disorders and supporting the work with animal research. It also introduces (or reiterates) the concept of epigenomes. I thought maybe others would be interested in it for their students. Carol
