How the Heat Can Go to Your Head
Program News
Extreme heat is difficult to ignore. On July 4, Washington, D.C., reached 103 F, breaking a daily record that had stood since 1919. Throughout the summer, all of the contiguous United States witnessed above-average temperatures. Heat at this magnitude places added demands on brain and body functions.
Statement of Task
Climate Conversations: Pathways to Action webinars and hybrid events feature conversations between experts, stakeholders, and communicators from across science, engineering, and medicine. The webinars build on, but aren't limited to, recent Academies reports, and focus on critical and timely topics to inform the rapidly changing science-to-action landscape.
Disclaimer: The views expressed in each conversation are those of the participants and do not necessarily represent the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.
