CRAVING SUNLIGHT
听
On Sunday the clocks went back an hour and we gained an hour of sleep but how does this change affect us?听 Do we feel better or worse and do our inner biological clocks get confused?听 Raj Persaud talks to Russell Foster, Professor of Molecular Neuroscience at Imperial College, and author of Rhythms of Life about the rhythms embedded in our genes and how they are affected by the seasons.听
听
CAPSULE LIFE
听
Astronauts, submariners and even arctic explorers live in fairly extreme conditions. It's often described as capsule living because of its lack of space and privacy.听 However one day this kind of experience might be available to all of us, but are we ready for it?
听
Raj Persaud joins listener Jeff Tall, a former submarine commander during the Gulf war, aboard the HMS Alliance, Professor Elizabeth Morris, Glaciologist, and Dr. David F. Dinges, team leader for the National Space Biomedical Research Institute, to discuss the preparations for, and psychological effect of, living in a confined space.

MENTAL HEALTH AWARDS
Last month All in the Mind won a Mental Health Media Award for our series on the particular problems facing black people in the psychiatric system.听 Trevor Phillips, Chair of the Commission for Racial Equality,joins Raj Persaud to discuss what still needs to be done.
听
MALINGERING
听
Malingering is not a medical or psychiatric disorder but, from a military point of view, it is punishable under the Articles of War. However it is usually difficult, if not impossible, to provide unassailable proof of guilt and nowadays it's used mainly in an attempt to de-fraud insurance companies.
听
Peter Halligan, Professor of Neuropsychology at Cardiff University, explains to Raj Persaud how neuropsychologists try to detect a malingerer.
