ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Dr. Richard Weller is a UK academic dermatologist whose views have been published in New Scientist, BBC, Sydney Morning Herald and more. He is an honorary NHS Consultant Dermatologist with a particular interest in medical dermatology and eczema.
In his TED talk, Could the sun be good for your heart, which has reached more than one million people, Dr Weller explains how his research shows that nitric oxide—a chemical transmitter stored in huge reserves in the skin—can be released by UV light to great benefit to both blood pressure and the cardiovascular system. To help people get the benefit of the sun while protecting themselves from skin cancer he has produced the world’s first nitric oxide promoting sunscreen.
