Light affects our sleep, mood, and health by influencing our body’s internal clock, hormones and cognition. The Ladenburg Light and Health Consortium created clear, science-based statements to help explain why healthy light exposure matters. This information, targeted to public-health multipliers, is meant to support better communication for healthier light exposure for everyone.

Light for Public Health Fellows
Conor Heaney and Maya Piper were the 2025 Light for Public Health Fellows, each completing a micro-fellowship. We may offer another round of micro-fellowships in 2027.
Outputs from the 2025 micro-fellowships include:
- Bright days, dark nights: translating science on the non-visual effects of light into public health guidance, published in Public Health Reviews (2026).
- A second output is forthcoming.
