Little Egg Harbor Meeting Room

This session provides a comprehensive look at the science of staying safe while enjoying the sun.

We will move beyond basic advice to explore the biological mechanisms of heat-related illnesses, the physics of UV radiation, and the best evidence-based practices for hydration and skin protection. As the days grow longer and the temperature rises, our lifestyles shift outdoors. While summer offers a vital opportunity for physical activity and Vitamin D synthesis, it also presents a unique set of physiological and environmental challenges. Whether you are an outdoor enthusiast, a parent, or someone looking to optimize your summer wellness, this lecture will equip you with the knowledge to prevent common seasonal injuries and emergencies.
