A scientist with four degrees explains why photobiology is missing from medical training. She demonstrates that light passes through tissue, yet doctors dismiss the idea that it reaches the brain. Physics matters far more to biology than conventional biochemistry admits.
Coming into the brain space, there's even more resistance. And I think a lot of it is because we don't have this education in any of our schooling. I have 4 science degrees now, and in none of them did they say to me anything about the effect of light on biology, on the brain, on the cell, on the mitochondria. So even now, to a lot of people, you know, here in— I'm here in England right now. I face a lot, most of resistance here because people are very much conventional in their thinking. So doctors here will say, well, no, of course you can't get light onto the brain. And I'll say, well, you can look, you know, here's a light and here's a light going through my hand and you're showing it on the other side. And they're muttering like another crackpot because there's a lot of inertia against change. Obviously people invest a lot in their studies to kind of throw that all out and say, well, actually physics is kind of playing a bigger part in biology than this biochemistry that everybody's obsessed with learning.
