HEAT Shield Project

The HEATShield project is dedicated to address the negative impact of increased workplace heat stress on the health and productivity

[FAME Laboratory @famelaboratory]

📌Climate change and its effects on occupational heat stress. @flouris explains in @amna_news how does heat stress affect productivity and increase the risk of health for the employees. https://t.co/WckfIJAK4G

Dear Professional Network, UCCS is looking to hire a new metabolic physiologist! Full-time, tenure-track. The new Hybl center is gorgeous and the department has some of the nicest people I've ever worked with. Please share with your colleagues/networks. https://t.co/9eFQvCIaDb

Rising heat can make it harder to live in certain parts of the world

We explore extreme heat in our podcast Changing Climate, Changing Migration: https://t.co/EG8yLhsGV1

🚨NEW PUBLICATION🚨

🗣📢 I am thrilled to share that our article “Current and projected regional economic impacts of heatwaves in Europe” has been published in @NatureComms

🧵(1/n)

[Nature Communications @NatureComms]

Economic damages through heatwaves are projected to increase in many regions across Europe, especially without climate policies.

Case study: Drug abusers experience reduced physiological heat strain compared to their matched-control coworkers during occupational rehabilitation. Room for new studies?

with @famelaboratory, @tsoutsoubi, @mantzios, @aflouris

[Leonidas G. Ioannou @IoannouLeonidas]

Obese workers have 87 % higher risk for experiencing increased core body temperature compared to their non-obese coworkers.

Pleased to see the first paper from Polly Aylwin's PhD published. Can we collect skin temperature data reliably during world championship races? Comparison of infra-red camera types and sensitivity analysis to environmental parameters and missing values. https://t.co/cVTU3MbIVz

[Leonidas G. Ioannou @IoannouLeonidas]

After a long period without races due to the #Covid_19 outbreak, we are officially back to investigating the effect of heat stress on runners’ physiology and performance!
