How the Body’s Trillions of Clocks Keep Time

Wow! They initially couldn't reproduce the study because the researcher and the postdoc were doing the experiment at different times in the day.

"It’s now known that every day, this transcription factor’s levels start at almost nothing, making it impossible to detect in the morning, and then rise 300-fold, making it easy for the postdoc to find in the middle of the day."

Now that's a tough bug

Now think about how many studies have only ever been done at a single time point and wonder how much we are missing.
