Time is an under-appreciated variable in clinical medicine. Only if we understand the variability associated with health can we discern the patterns associated with disease.

— Carsten Skarke

Carsten Skarke is characterizing the human chronobiome by working with both clinical and self-collected data from a small group of “super trackers”. His talk explores some of the lessons from his pilot study, and proposes collaborating with members of the QS and wider community to extend this research in ways that can benefit individual participants as well as lead to new discoveries about human physiology.
