Band Welcome back George Norry with you let me tell you about our special guest Belinda get us as a British journalist writing about biology medicine and technology born in Cambridge she graduated from Liverpool University with a 1st class degree in cell biology spending 9 years. Said New Science magazine working as a news editor features editor reporter remains a consultant to that magazine is while Linda has received numerous awards for her journalism including the Association of British science writers awards for best investigative journalism her book tonight chasing the sun Linda welcome to the program looking forward to this Hi Thanks for having me how did you get involved in studying the strength of the sun. Well I thought I worked as you just said I worked in New Scientist magazine for a long time and I guess around 15 years ago I started noticing a lot of stories about these things called cicada and rhythms and circadian rhythms of these kind of 24 hour fluctuations in the activity of pretty much every biological process in our bodies from you know from when we feel tired and to let to when we release various hormones the chemistry of our brains and the functioning of arm in arm in cells all these things actually vary over the course of 24 hours and there are more and more stories coming out about these things you know things like it could change you could alter the timing of when you gave chemotherapy drugs for cancer and then the with us side effects and also around that time the international agency on cancer research had just pronounced shiftwork a probable cause in a chair and so there is this kind of growing sense that life to the wrong time of life at the wrong time and being active at the wrong time of day as you do when you work shifts might be might be bad for your health and then I saw his interest in cicada and rhythms and then I had to go to work trip to Las Vegas. With a bunch of runs randomly with a bunch of forensic scientists sure but during that trip I had really bad jetlag because I'd flown from from London to Las Vegas and then I spent basically spent 3 days inside this windowless meeting room in this business hotels and I felt like I was going crazy harvest and then in the evenings all around the casinos and whatever and out by the end of this by the end of it I was just absolutely desperate to just get outside and sit in the sun and have a cup of coffee and I just couldn't find anywhere to sit because I wasn't in one of these big resorts I was in the business of telling there was no like there was no pool or anything like that and and the whole of the status seems to. Been kind of set up to almost hide its residents from the sun and kind of create this almost topsy turvy wofe where you know the activity takes place at night and in the daytime everything's pretty quiet. And I do you know I don't it's just kind of going from kind of firm from results a result 3 days underground something move I'm getting more and more desperate to find somewhere to sit outside I found myself in Caesar's Palace you know surrounded by the stick out of look Gresh I remind you factor in that I saw what I thought was some life ahead and I got really excited and I was like Ah here we are at Knopf and then I got that and I looked up and just saw this like glorious but completely artificial sky and it just kind of struck to be really that you know our relationship with the natural light dark cycle which is controlled by the sun. Has been completely prevented in the modern world ons I'm I thought you know I'd like to know more about this because I don't like it in rhythms are affected by light. They sure are I remember we used to have years ago Linda breed race horses and in order to get the. The mayor ready to go we had to trick them and we turned the lights on in the barns interest that yeah you know worked it works to do because of the rhythm was off unless they see something that resembles sunlight or or words like that but we live in a society where they basically have forced us to believe sunlight is no good for us how do we get around that. Wealth. I think I mean the probably the issue is that. 2 things to separate out one is one is sunlight someone is light so we live in a society where we don't often we don't see any sunlight in the daytime we stay shut in the evening we see artificial light but then your rights. That affects us Acadian rhythms but then there's also this this worry about sunlight in particular causing cancer and I've no doubt that too much sun exposure causes me Taishan Xina and in the d.n.a. And our cells and that can lead to Taishan that cause the cells to grow abnormally and that can lead to cancer so I'm certainly not saying that we should be sunbathing and and definitely not going out and getting it but at the same time there's also mounting evidence that the sun is stuffed to our skin which may be beneficial and this is completely aside from the cicada rhythms which which comes down to lights on the eye and the brain so that when some when the sun hits the skin a few things happen most people will be aware that you make the 20 which is really really important for. Health but it seems to do other things as well actually say so for one thing vitamin d. Isn't just. You know you find that in the recesses all over the body on the heart in the brain. Cells so you know back in the 1920 s. There was this this real craze for some. People believe that some could pretty much help with the treatments of any disease but in particular at that time there was this problem of tuberculosis of the skin of the lungs of the. Our doctors use today with speculation patients was was send them to these sanatoria in the mountains where they have them some day them these big big sunny decks and it works and probably the reason it works in fact we know the reason it works now is that you have these immune cells in your lungs. Which respond to this and the by starting to spew out this until microbial substance called Catholic side and say the basement is healthy as anyone cells kill the bacterium that's responsible for cheaper kill excess I don't the sun does other things to us going to well so another reason why too much sun exposure increases our risk of skin cancer is that it suppresses the immune system. But it but it's not just said that the sun helps somebody with the immune system but if it suppresses cells and how much is too much well nobody knows for sure but but if you if you have too much sun exposure your your immune cells and a less good at detecting Council cells but a bit of sun exposure may be important to keeping the immune system in check so you find that. If I know what I mean diseases like this are more prevalent the further you travel from the equator so the further north or south you go the higher the incidence of multiple sclerosis and possibly that is because because the sun is actually helping to dampen these kind of out of control immune responses I don't know that the final thing that was something today which is that women are exposed to sunlight we trigger the release of the substance called nitric oxide which is basically it causes your blood vessels to relax and dial a somebody in flight and say a blood pressure drops or wild scientists realize that the people's blood pressure is low in the summer than it is in winter and $11.00 idea was maybe it's because it warmer in summer but it turns out that actually we release this nitric oxide denies directly responsible for the stroke and blood pressure when you're exposed to something but it out of your question we don't know quite how much is enough certainly for vitamin d. You make this movie without getting some and we know for sure that some is directly associated with with skin cancer. And and in particular melanoma which is the most deadly form of skin cancer and some I mean my my approach is little enough and so I think I have fescue and I'm kind of Scottish originally. I don't I mean I don't somebody that I'm old but I do get outside a lot so you know I run I swim in lakes. I get outside but I'm just careful about protecting my skin so I don't you know but I don't completely start to myself in fact a 50 or 5 to 100 I was going to say some people are more prone to getting the sun burns like you said use your fair or light more light skinned than maybe somebody else. Would be more apt to be able to take more sunlight let's say because they're darker complected Absolutely and and in assessing a Cessna and the country I live in and in England people with with dark skin so if a black skin for instance or Indian skin. There's an increasing problem with vitamin d. Deficiency because those people need to have loss on exposure to make the same amount of it's an indie as I need so I think the problem is it's very difficult to give the uniform advice for everyone because we all have different skin tones but I think you know that rule is don't stay outside so much that you get the and if it is a good one to stick with and also you know I'm sure we'll talk more about this been fans of the cicada and benefits of being outside it has to be in direct sunlight for that you can you can just you know you can be in the shade and just still hugely brighter than is indoors you stayed with an Amish family tell me about out where we where was that it was at in the states yes yes so a so I'm one of those researching a but I became really interested in this idea of well you know there's lots of media reports about that the harmful effects of blue lights at night and electric lights at night so I became really interested in the eyes. Well I wonder what it would be like if I went on stage with a community who don't have access to electric lights anymore you know how would that affect their sleep then later these kinds of things and that have been some studies that have been done on. On and on on tripes living in Africa or South America but they they live a look closer to the equator than in your id. And so that you know the difference in the length of the day and night between summer and winter is far less you know in England you know we're coming up when for an hour and the days are getting shorter and shorter and that doesn't happen so much in these in these tribal societies because of where they live so I started looking for. Communities that didn't have access to a tricity pheasant north and I came across these. A couple of research paper research papers by an American. Professor called Total Professor Locke a at the University of Maryland and he has been working with old or the communities in Lancaster County Pennsylvania looking at the differences in the amount of light they're exposed to at night and in the daytime and also the timing of their sleep and that propensity to get seasonal affective disorder and what he's found is that they are exposed to follow I mean they they do have lice and I have a gas lights but it's it tends to be in the in the house in the family I stayed with they live in a large house they had a big family and they have this one single gas lamp on the stand and it's on wheels and they'll use it in the wheel it into the kitchen when they're preparing dinner or anything did I And then you know after dinner they'll go and sit and read together and then they'll basically we'll this light into this. And then just use this one life in order to to do the reading I need Acehnese to get the bathroom or whatever the know take about it how to feel something real. Life exposure nice is far lower than most American families and then in the daytime because because the Amish on cannot drive and because they tend to keep that community very frequent Now where were you like in Harrisburg Pennsylvania also way yes and yes her member the name of the town but it was it was enrolled and for laid like the Count lots of Amish families out there yeah yeah so say they they tend so they tend to walk all scoot to work a lot of people still working in kind of agricultural jobs even if they don't they tend to be out there with more in the daytime the women have a very traditional role they tend to be at home but they also tend these large vegetable garden said that also out there was a lot more during the daytime so you know the days are much brighter evenings so much Dana and you find that they go to bed a lot of early as than than the kind of average American so the family I stayed with I kind of I traveled around on Memorial Day weekend and. And they said well what you want to do well here and I said I just want to basically Stalky. Just you know I live I wanted to folio and see how you live and everything I see from that kind of thing as I said well that's fine but you know tomorrow we would like to go yard sale shopping and we're going to get up at the same time we always do which is $430.00. 5. And I was like Ok well I have jet lag so that's fun. But you know we did we left the house at 5 am we drove to a yard sale because I was with the Amish are allowed to take lessons from people that's not allowed to drive himself I actually profess a poster like I thought the sun here drove me down there and had that stake truck and the Amish family I was staying with were very happy about this because it meant that they had you know transportation so they could go to the yard sales and buy stuff and actually because both I did a horse and buggies to. They they did yeah they take me out tonight but yet they have a lot of the Yeah but there's less there's less and less space for transporting stuff on the front is likewise sloth. Yeah and I
