Description:	Science in the Public Health Circadian (about a day) rhythms affect your behavior and nearly every physiological process. Variations of circadian rhythms are associated with heart disease, obesity, depression, and the efficacy of chemotherapy. They also affect our ability to adjust to night shift work and daylight savings time! Come to this STEP forum to learn more about circadian rhythms—what they are, what aspects of human health and disease they control, and what animal and human studies have taught us. You’ll learn how we synchronize our rhythms to the day-and-night cycles in our environment, the differences and similarities among larks and night owls, how circadian rhythms affect bodily functions, and how we might rely on circadian rhythms for future research in prevention and treatment. This training is recommended for ESA Credit. For more information, visit I’ve Got Rhythm, Circadian Rhythm!
