Dr. Katja Teerds - Human and Animal Physiology Group, Wageningen University
Approximately 30% of our life we spend in bed, sleeping. Do we really need that amount of sleep or could we do with less? What are the consequences if we would sleep less? Why does a lion sleep fourteen hours a day and a horse only five hours? These are questions I would like to discuss with you during this Zodiac Lecture.
Zodiac academic lectures are an initiative of the Department of Animal Sciences, Wageningen University. On every first Tuesday of the month, an invited speaker will present a topic related to animal sciences. Speaker and topic will, and are meant to, provoke discussion among the audience of staff, postdocs, PhD and MSc students, and guests. Drinks after the presentation and discussion.
