Great to see thermal physiology in the spotlight! Ollie Jay Robert D. Meade When is it too hot to use a fan? | Science | AAAS science.org/content/articl…

Worth reading the excellent work from Ollie Jay The Gagnon Lab at Centre EPIC Georgia Chaseling nejm.org/doi/full/10.10… and Robert D. Meade jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

Looking forward to join this fantastic panel to discuss heat and worker health in the US and globally Thanks AAAS and Pulitzer Center for the invitation! See you soon in DC!

With MCCStudy and global experts, we estimated that landscape fire smoke was associated with 1.5 million deaths annually from 2000 to 2019. Alarmingly, this burden has been increasing, with the majority of deaths occurring in LTMICs. Congrats Rongbin Xu thelancet.com/journals/lance…
