Charlotte Förster

Charlotte Förster, a senior professor and chronobiologist, shares her fascinating research on how biological clocks, including lunar rhythms, impact human menstrual cycles. She discusses historical data indicating menstrual synchrony with lunar phases before 2010 and how this has changed due to blue light from modern devices. The conversation explores the effects of light pollution on biological rhythms and potential implications for fertility. Additionally, Förster reveals her extensive studies on fruit fly circadian mechanisms and their relevance to human health.
