The circadian rhythm controls many aspects of our lives, hormone release, hunger, and sleep. Before the invention of the light globe, this important mechanism was set and reset it by the rise and fall of the sun.
My guest today, professor Sean Cain, Associate Professor of Psychology at Monash University, suggests humans may be even more sensitive to light than we already acknowledge.
His laboratory work focuses on individual sensitivities to light and how these insights may help us understand the influences of poor human health, including sleep disorders, metabolic diseases, and depression. He's the current president of the Australasian Chronobiology Society. So Sean, what is chronobiology and how does it fit in with your career right now?.
Marnie Ogg is talking to some of the brightest minds in their field, about the topic of light pollution and ways to protect our night skies.

My guest today, Ada Blair - a counsellor and psychotherapist at the University of Edinburgh.
Author of ‘An Exploration of the Role that the Night Sky Plays in the lives of the Dark Sky Island Community of Sark’, her research, conducted on Sark in 2014, addresses the 'missing sky' factor within ecopsychology and health and environmental psychology. Intuitive inquiry is employed to explore the following themes: human desire to see the night sky, commercialisation of this desire through astronomical tourism, the nature of nature, fear of the dark, and nature and wellbeing.
Research findings show skywatching facilitating family/community connections and improving wellbeing, the transmission of sky stories, childhood sky memories, a fearlessness of the dark and the phenomenon on moonless nights of an absent horizon, whereby sky and land appear as one.

My guest today, Anthony Teckatch - developer and co-owner of the Unihedron Sky Quality Meter system.
The "Sky Quality Meter" measures the brightness of the night sky in magnitudes per square arcsecond.

Join Anthony as he shares the journey of the device, and some of the unanticipated ways it's been used.
