Why Is Sunlight Vital?
Sunlight exposure, specifically vitamin D, offers benefits to both your physical and mental well-being. How the body uses vitamin D is a complicated process and often involves several metabolic processes. I’ve linked some videos and articles for you to learn more about.

The Project Developer
Hello and thank you for visiting my web application! My name is Matthew Rada and this is my first programming biology-related project. I am currently pursuing a MS in bioinformatics and am looking to graduate by the end of 2026.
I made this website as a means of connecting the relations between sunlight and vitamin D production. By no means do I consider myself an expert in this field but rather a student doing my best to interpret the information I have found from scientific sources such as PubMed and the NIH.
Beyond that, I will continue to build my portfolio as I am looking for job opportunities related to software engineering and data science. If you come across a bug, have questions, or want to reach out you can email me at matthewr7.christopher@gmail.com or message me on LinkedIn.
