academic author talk book sceince

The earth’s daily rotation affects just about every living creature. From dawn to dusk, there are changes in light, temperature, humidity and rainfall. Join us to hear biologist and author Leon Kreitzman discuss light, metabolism, human health and the seasons. Leon will also explain how organisms can “know” the time and reveal what we now understand of the nature and operation of chronobiological processes.
