Colorado Plateau Dark Sky Cooperative’s Quarterly CONNECTIONS

Conference/Seminar

As is true for most species, humans evolved alongside and thus have an intimate connection with the day-night cycle of our rotating Earth. Many bodily functions and daily rhythms are synchronized with the resulting light-dark patterns. The darkness that comes with night has, for centuries, provided a natural cue for humans to slow down and rest, and the opportunity to reflect or quiet the mind. In this session, we will explore how dark night skies can impact mental health and well-being, and discuss ways to manage lighting to accommodate individuals with older eyes or impaired vision. Invited speakers include: - Dr. Troy Allan, Utah State University - Dr. Kate Magargal, University of Utah - Eunice Noell-Waggoner, Center of Design for an Aging Society; Illuminating Engineering Society The Quarterly CONNECTIONS feature a series of interactive virtual meetings dedicated to minimizing light pollution and promoting the preservation and appreciation of naturally dark night skies. Registration is free but required in advance for each Quarterly CONNECTIONS session. https://extension.usu.edu/iort/cp-darkskies/quarterly-connections
