Enlighten your clock: how your body tells time

The comic book "Enlighten your clock: How your body tells time" describes with wit and humour the effects of light on our body. With support of Velux Stiftung, it will now become available in 20 languages.

In spring 2021, the comic book Enlighten your clock: How your body tells time was initially published in English as an open access e-book. Many were seduced by the concept and volunteered to translate the text into their own language.

What a great way to convey information about light and its interaction with our sleep or mood to a much broader readership!  This is a an persuasive example of knowledge transfer and the foundation was happy to support the necessary efforts towards making the translations available.

To celebrate this success and acknowledge the remarkable engagement of the international translation teams, the Daylight Academy is delighted to host a webinar “Launch event & expert talk”. Translators will be presented and special guest Daniel Smith will share his views about sleep, light and mental health in teenagers. In addition, the webinar will be illustrated live by the comic book’s author and illustrator herself, Coline Weinzaepflen, and moderated by the editor, Manuel Spitschan.

The event will take place online on 21 October 2021 (17:00-18:00 CEST). Spread the word and register here!
