1/3: Should have shared this yesterday for #DarwinDay, from @NCSE.

2/3: how we live & interact w/ other humans, how we co-exist w/ other species, how we most effectively learn at different stages of our lives, and so much more - a basic understanding of it should be considered a necessary life skill.

3/3: Maybe even a bit more than a basic understanding.
It's not hard to argue many of our current problems are at least partially the result of ignorance of evolutionary theory and it's applications to our day-to-day.

1/5: "Exposure to each of the four housing deficiencies stated above [damp, noise, excess cold &/or lack of daylight] is associated w/ poorer health outcomes for the children affected [30% of children in the EU]."

3/3: technological or policy changes take us & what impacts will that have on the healthy functioning of physiological, psychological, & social/cultural systems? Will they create an evolutionary mismatch?

1/6: Another interesting presentation from the 8th @VELUX Daylight Symposium on the relationship between daylight & the indoor #microbiome

2/6: The associated peer-reviewed study (accessed here: microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…) found little difference comparing the impact of visible vs ultraviolet light w/in daylight on the microbial communities found w/in indoor dust.

3/6: However, it did find #daylight likely does have an impact on the composition of these communities. But there’s still a great deal to learn regarding the duration of exposure, intensity levels, ventilation, humidity, building materials, occupancy, microbial compositions, etc.
