Judith Simcox became interested in shift worker health when her mother, a night-shift nurse in Montana, was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Her mother exercised and was at a healthy weight, and her family did not have a history of the cancer. She worked nights so she would be available during the day to take care of Judith’s sister, who has Down syndrome and type 1 diabetes.

Thanks for the share, NSC!
