Heat advice is too generic - let’s fix that! Happy to be leading a talented group of guest editors in a new Special Call in @TemperatureEB for physiology-informed protection of vulnerable groups. 🌡️👴👷♂️🚴♀️☀️ Deadline 31 July 2026.

Why extreme heat is life-threatening, what are the health impacts of heat stress & what is the heat-health mechanism? Learn all these in the new & very interesting Primer by @robertdmeade & colleagues cell.com/one-earth/S2590-332… @HarvardUniv
Great job by the team and @robertdmeade for leading this informative paper. Happy to share with anyone interested.
Our brief educational Primer on the physiology and biophysics of heat vulnerability 🥵🌡️and cooling 🪭🥤 was just published in @OneEarth_CP !!

Our latest paper is now live in @eBioMedicine. Increased hospitalisation risks during hot weather based on the number, type, and combinations of multimorbidity. Those with multimorbidity should be seen as a distinct risk group in heat-health action plans. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
New AJIM paper: Low-cost workplace cooling oasis (fans, mist bottles, cold towels) can reduce thermal & cardiovascular strain as effectively as pricier and more cumbersome cooling vests. Sustainable solutions for employee health & safety. 🌡️☀️👷onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

As we swelter through a long, hot summer, our researchers have looked at the effects of heatwaves, known as silent killers, and the likelihood of ambulance call outs. @Griffith_Health @ajebach @anzjph

Summer 2023-24 is marked by a return to El Niño and has prompted concerns that rising temperatures, worsened by climate change, will threaten health, productivity, and safety. Griffith’s Dr @ajebach suggests some strategies aimed at beating the heat enlighten.griffith.edu.au/a-…

@Griffith_Uni's Ethos Project team findings from their 2022 survey of 547 Older Queenslanders - 75% unaware of heat-related health risks despite vulnerability. To bridge this gap, they have crafted an enlightening animated video series. Stay tuned for the links! #ClimateAction

50 free full-text copies of our latest @TemperatureEB review outlining the current state and future directions of controlled experimental research in older persons during heat stress. 👵☀️🫀📈 @wellcometrust @Griffith_Uni @robertdmeade tandfonline.com/eprint/QNVS5…
Our new study reaffirms the link between rising temperatures and increased ambulance dispatches. More needs to be done to keep people cool at home to reduce the excess demand on emergency healthcare services during heatwaves. 🚑🌡️🔥

Thanks to @iansample and @MadiFinlay for having me on the @guardianscience Weekly Podcast to discuss research in extreme heat, workers, older persons, and cooling w/ @JPalutikof and @lewis_halsey.
Extreme heat: what does it do to us and how can we adapt? theguardian.com/science/audi…
Great story by @vandana_writes for @BBC_Future. Fantastic to see our @wellcome project on real-world sustainable cooling solutions is informing practice for those vulnerable to heat stress. ☀️🏠😰 @JPalutikof @ollie_jay13 @fahimnawroz @smallcombe2

Data collection completed! Piloting the effect of cooling strategies on physiological strain in sawmill workers in Thailand. Has been a great experience implementing solutions for heat stress in the field.

1st paper from our @wellcometrust study led by @Griffith_Uni in collab w/@HeatHealth_USYD @buet_official. Retrofitting passive cooling strategies at the building level in Bangladesh RMG factories. Terrific work @ajebach sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Our new paper on the protective effects of building level passive cooling for improving indoor thermal stress for garment workers in Bangladesh. Rather than carbon intensive AC, green roofs could be one strategy amongst others needed to reduce worker risk. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Our latest paper, led by @ajebach.
After monitoring the thermal conditions of a Bangladeshi garment factory for an entire year, we modelled the effects of sustainable building-level cooling interventions.
A related lab study to follow later this year.
