Scientists are to examine the way that people with different hair, eye and skin colors react to sunlight as part of a study into skin cancer. Experts at Edinburgh University are looking for 400 volunteers aged between 18 and 30 to take part in the three-year research project. They are appealing for blondes, brunettes and redheads to come forward. Dermatologist Dr Terence Wong said people varied considerably in their sensitivity to sunshine. “Understanding these differences is important because sunshine is the main cause of skin cancers,” he said.
