Great to welcome @SkyNewsThomas to the @UoR_LifeScience environmental chamber at @RoehamptonUni this morning to experience a "heat wave" under the careful watch of PhD researcher Chris Wolfe.

We have received many recent media enquiries asking how a #heatwave impacts the human body. Here is a short animation from @HeatHealth_USYD that explains the physiological impacts based on our 2021 paper @TheLancet: thelancet.com/journals/lance…

As floods & fires rise, oceans boil & ice melts, and "safe" temperatures are breached, something momentous just happened in the heart of the EU. No one has heard about it: journalists were present, but their editors refused to publish 🤯.
🧵, please RT.
