„My monring‘s self would not know my evening‘s.“ This quote
by André Gide already shows how strongly our biological clock
directs the timing of behaviors that we take for granted - such
as when we want to sleep, but also many more of our regular
patterns.
In our upcoming talk, Prof. Dr. Martha Merrow takes us not
only on a journey into our bodies but also into the depths
of history. We will see how deeply and thoroughly the clock
program drives our physiology and then turn to what happens
when the network of internal time is disrupted - and how this
may have intervened in a critical moment in Bavarian history.
