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 https://t.co/T020Kyyd0h @HarvardUniv
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. https://t.co/eqCncjB8k6
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. 🌡️☀️👷https://t.co/maHvZsmBVf
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 https://t.co/XN1paGfKvC
@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 https://t.co/wawSsiO4Tt
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? https://t.co/IZ4bwA6KzQ
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.
