How much sunshine are you getting? Now your watch can keep track. washingtonpost.com/wellness/2023/…

Pleased to see this published. I was asked to write a review for the JID of the work -including mine- that demonstrates the marked benefits of sun exposure on human health. We dermatologists have not been able to see the wood for the trees eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…

🚨 Clinical Dermatologists are waking up to the reality that perhaps our understanding of sunlight has been warped and that it is actually beneficial. (Thanks to Max Gulhane MD) for posting this! A MUST READ 👇 Sunlight: Time for a Rethink? jidonline.org/article/S0022-…

Skin tockify.com/edinburghunive…. Gosh. This looks interesting. I think I will go

Great episode on Vitamin D and the absence of any evidence to show it has benefits except in preventing rickets. The Vitamin D hype monster needs to be slain and I was heartened to hear this podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the…

This made my day! Properly explaining risk is an important part of the job. We can do a better job of it in melanoma without scaring people to death. This is what motivates my "controversial" work! 🙏🏾

In 2023, CIR's Richard Weller's research lead, in part, to several of Australia's public-health groups updating sun exposure guidelines. National Institute for Health and Care Research is looking to do the same here. Now, @theAtlantic are asking - is it time for the US to do the same? theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

Interesting research by Richard Weller and others using UK Biobank. UV exposure associated with LOWER all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality. Manuscript here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39094281/

CIR's Richard Weller featured in this piece on the benefits of UV in the Economist ☀️

Ade Adamson, MD MPP Richard Weller Great post. Richard Weller also just published a great review that explores the topic in detail pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38661623/

Our new study suggests that the benefits of higher UV exposure outweigh the risks in low light environments like the UK. We used geographic and behavioural UV estimates, validated by vitamin D serum levels and a negative control outcome to test this Q. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
