Proud of our @aflouris for being included again in the Top 2% list of International Scientists in the field of Sport Sciences based on the study by Baas, Boyack, and Ioannidis (2021) elsevier.digitalcommonsdata.…) Congratulations ! 👏👏👏

So many clean cooling solutions and technologies already available to be implemented at scale.
Did you know that adopting efficient, climate-friendly #cooling is key if we're to meet #climate & #development goals like #BuildingElectrification, #GridDecarbonization & secure food/vaccine #SupplyChains?
