The Desert Research Institute is piloting a study to examine the simultaneous effects of heat and wildfire smoke on Northern Nevadans. This month, I volunteer to be one of its guinea pigs.

Excellent article about the critical work being done by the Nevada Heat Lab @DRIScience.
Important work is underway at @DRIScience, filling a gap in Nevada government as a small team of researchers “own” the urban heat issue and guide policy.
Does Nevada need a dedicated government office for extreme heat? Story @reviewjournal
