Andrea Pattini

Andrea Pattini is a researcher at Conicet, affiliated with the Instituto de Ambiente, Hábitat y Energía (INAHE). She has been actively involved in the debate regarding Argentina's time zone, advocating for a change to the UTC -4 time zone to better align the official time with solar time. Pattini emphasizes the biological and energetic implications of the current time discrepancy, arguing that the misalignment disrupts people's circadian rhythms and increases energy consumption due to the need for artificial lighting during daylight hours. Her work highlights the importance of adopting policies that promote public health, academic performance, and energy efficiency.
