Get ready for a fascinating and educational episode! I had the privilege of chatting with Dr. Mario Motta, a renowned cardiologist and passionate amateur astronomer. Dr. Motta has been at the forefront of groundbreaking research on light pollution and its far-reaching effects on the environment, human health, and wildlife. This conversation is packed with intriguing insights and practical tips. I’m confident you’ll find it as enlightening and engaging as I did!
