Heat affects the human body in many ways and at many stages, from pregnancy to old age. It also affects human communities’ growth and stability. So who is most at risk when the temperature rises? What are the most pervasive myths and misperceptions about heat and human health that recent data have forced us to reconsider?
Join us on Thursday, January 23rd, from 7 – 8 p.m. at Motorco Music Hall to explore these questions and learn about extreme heat and its downstream effects.
Speaker:
