On Wednesday 12th June, researchers from UofG are hosting a public workshop as part of the Glasgow Science Festival to discuss how lux - the measure of light - affects our mental health. Professor Hester Parr (GES) said: “Exposure to natural light is one of the many factors which can affect our mental and physical wellbeing. As the days get shorter in the latter half of the year following the summer solstice, many people struggle with emotional challenges, lowered mood, and feelings of anxiety."
