As summer officially kicks off, Behind the Story host Amanda Ulrich chats with fellow journalist Rowan Jacobsen about his in-depth reporting on sunlight and sun exposure—and its many benefits you may not know about. Rowan gives his take on when you should wear sunscreen, how to write a narrative-driven science story, and whether or not moving to a sunny place may just be the key to longevity.

Rowan is a journalist and author who writes about science and nature for many publications, including most recently for Scientific American. He is a current media fellow with Nova Institute for Health.
