Dr. Michael Mosley lived an extraordinary life. With a broadcasting career spanning almost 40 years, his work revolutionised the health habits of millions across the globe. Following Mosley's death on the Greek island of Symi in June, SBS will air a special tribute to commemorate the journalist, producer and TV presenter, honouring not only his ground-breaking work but his passion for science and the affection in which he was held by audiences around the world.

He began his career behind the camera, making a name for himself with his award-winning science journalism. Shortly after becoming a producer, he began his career as a much-loved presenter. His programs brought facts about intermittent fasting, the benefits of cold showers and the impacts of not getting enough sleep to the forefront of everyone's mind. In fact, there are many people who may not even be aware of Mosley's programs, but have his discoveries ingrained within their minds through word of mouth and articles inspired by his hard work.

His contributions to his field and his remarkable work with SBS and many others in the industry touched countless lives and brought vital health information to the forefront."
