Great 2 days @FireFit_UK, wide variety of health and well-being talks, interesting discussions on future work. Take homes: 1) early education for career longevity is crucial, 2) create a listening and empathetic environment, 3) standardisation is key, 4) more action needed ๐ฉโ๐๐

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: https://t.co/Idn6NluKt9
