DESCRIPTION:Magdalene's Blackett Society welcomes you back to Cambridge fo
 r Easter Term with our latest science talk. Join us next Thursday\, 27th A
 pril in the Parlour at Magdalene College\, free of charge (donations welco
 me). Drinks will be served from 6.15pm\, the talk will start at 6.30pm. Yo
 ur guests are most welcome. Please email science AT magd.cam.ac.uk to book
  in.\n\n\n*Circadian rhythms:  Everything you always wanted to know about 
 jetlag but were too tired to ask!* \n\n(Also applies to all-nighters.)\n\n
 Most biological organisms contain a 'body clock'\, or circadian rhythm\, w
 hich organises their physiology and behaviour to match the environmental c
 ycle of day and night. When this biological rhythm is disrupted by jetlag 
 or shiftwork it can seriously affect human health\, increasing the risk of
  pathologies such as heart disease\, neurodegenerative disorders and sever
 al types of cancer.\n\nDr John O'Neill is a Group Leader at the Medical Re
 search Council's Laboratory of Molecular Biology with a long term interest
  in understanding how the circadian rhythm is controlled at the cellular l
 evel. His work has been widely published\, ranging from Nature and Science
  to the Independent and the Naked Scientists.\n\nhttps://blackett.soc.srcf
