Tom F. Anders Seminar Series, formerly known as the Providence Sleep Research Interest Group (PSRIG), was formed in 1990 and provides an opportunity for scientists and clinicians to interact on a monthly basis for the scholarly exchange of ideas and information pertaining to the area of sleep and circadian rhythms. Historically, individuals from the surrounding areas of Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and sometimes other parts of the country, participated in these monthly meetings. This year the series will be held virtually and we are thrilled to present a diverse lineup of speakers from various institutions both nationally and internationally, and to open this series to a wider audience. We hope to maintain an atmosphere that is informal, intimate, and sleep-sophisticated. TFASS seminars will be held via Zoom at 12pm on the 3rd Tuesday of each month during the academic year. Invited speakers represent diverse backgrounds and approaches in their study of sleep and chronobiological issues, including basic and clinical research. If you would like to be added to the TFASS mailing list, or for links to past recordings, please email Gina Mason at gina_mason@brown.edu.
