Abstract
Light impacts on our physiology and behaviour. Over the past few years, the scientific community has learned a lot about the biological mechanisms in our eye and brain that underlie these “non-visual” functions. While laboratory studies have elucidated these mechanisms, an important step for translation is understanding the role of real-world light exposure. Furthermore, it is important to develop novel and effective ways to communicate the underlying biological complexity. In this talk, I will describe recent work that will help us use the best scientific evidence to promote biologically appropriate light exposure.
