Join us for an illuminating discussion about the science and controversy behind daylight saving time! Our hosts dive deep into fascinating research from UBC and SFU experts who make a compelling case for why we might want to reconsider our twice-yearly clock changes. From the surprising health impacts to failed experiments of the past, you'll discover how this seemingly simple time change affects everything from our sleep cycles to road safety. Plus, hear a thought-provoking perspective on embracing winter's natural darkness instead of fighting against it.
