Part 3.2 Three Decades: Meet the Scientist

What's Work Got To Do With Institute Researchers? Guests: Drs. Steven Shea, PhD, Caren Weinhouse, PhD, Andrew McHill, PhD, Charles Allen, PhD and Suzanne Mitchell, PhD Hosts: Sam Greenspan, MPH and Helen Schuckers, MPH As part of our Three Decades at the Institute Series, we wanted to highlight two special episodes where we highlight out scientist. We dive into the research of five basic scientists within our institute that conduct studies in areas related to sleep and shift work and its' impact on safety and health, as well as their research looking at the adverse effects of occupational exposure. Our guests include Drs. Steven Shea, PhD, Caren Weinhouse, PhD, Andrew McHill, PhD, Charles Allen, PhD and Suzanne Mitchell, PhD. Learn about their research into areas of sleep, such as circadian rhythms and cardiovascular risk, the synchronicity of circadian rhythms impact on overall health, and understanding why insufficient sleep and being awake during the night leads to poorer health and impaired cognitive function. Also, we explore the factors that influence decision making that may impact our health and safety, as well as the epigenetic responses to environmental cues or stressors.
