Auckland Branch 2025 Christmas Function - Wednesday 3 December 2025
Please save this date. We are back at the Western Springs Garden Community Hall 2 at 10.30am for this informal event. We are running it in a similiar fashion to last year's successful function where we grouped members by government departments. We are creating a Christmas atmosphere with decorations and a festive morning tea. Associate Professor Guy Warman is our speaker for this event:
Circadian Rhythms: What are they and how do they link with health and ageing?
Circadian rhythm is the name given to our body’s internal clock. Based on a 24-hour day, this rhythm will tell your body when to sleep and when to wake up and will also affect other body processes like body temperature, digestion and hormones. Associate Professor Guy Warman from the Department of Anesthesiology, the University of Auckland, will present an overview of his extensive experience in chronobiology research and the interplay between anesthesia and the circadian clock. Applying insect and mammalian models, Dr Warman and colleagues’ research topics focus on investigating the control of circadian rhythms, similarities between sleep and anesthesia, the influence of circadian rhythms on ageing and new research looking at the potential for circadian rhythms of bees as markers for human health.
Please bring your spouse or a guest along and register attendees with our Secretary, Andrea by calling 0800 888 472 or emailing auckland@gsa.org.nz

Have you heard any interesting speakers lately ?
Auckland Branch is always looking for new speakers for our meetings.
