It's nice that Dom got taken out for lunch somewhere special on his 60th, and 9 coheating tests set up in a single day mighr be a record.

🏢In our final talk, Dr Jim Parker introduces the applied, policy-informing work of colleagues in @Leeds_LSI.
🌳Jim has developed sensors across #Leeds measuring the impact of treescapes in the city - showing it's 4-5 degrees cooler in these areas when it's hot. #RKEFest24

Who knew @Carnegie_Sport had a state-of-the-art environmental chamber, used for honing Olympians into peak physical specimens? The perfect place for Adam...
Here he is checking our temperature sensor/transmitters are within calibration and ready for coheating tests this winter.
