Description:
Nearly every organism studied, including humans, has a biological clock. Among the strongest are those related to the
day: night sleep cycle. Challenging your biological clock has lots of unfortunate side affects. Understanding your biological clock can help maximize academic and athletic
performance and lead to a more positive outlook on daily
challenges. This seminar allows students to identify the timing of their own clocks, especially their sleep and performance cycles, and learn how human clocks function.
Professor Barbara Prezelin, Ecology, Evolution & Marine Biology, is a biological oceanographer specializing in photoecology and phytoplankton and primary production, as well as emphasis in coastal oceanography in both Antarctic and California waters. She has studied biological clocks in phytoplankton for a number of years. Teaches upper division students in Aquatic Sciences on topics ranging from microbiology to satellite oceanography.
