The maturation of regional sweating patterns from childhood to young adulthood in females
Children are considered heat vulnerable, with the belief that maturation of sweating occurs throughout childhood. Indeed, young children demonstrate distinct patterns of regional sweating compared to....

Davide Filingeri and Nuno Koch Esteves (@unisouthampton.bsky.social, Brunel University of London) explore how hot is too hot for people in a review of empirical models of perceptual, physiological and functional limits of human heat tolerance 📖 buff.ly/tsMmBng

🚨 New paper out! 🌡️ Going back to my PhD thread of work, here we used WIA to explore the mechanistic regulation of hyperthermia-induced hyperaemia. Check it out here: doi.org/10.1113/EP09... @frcavallo.bsky.social @expphysiol.bsky.social

New paper out 🪭🔥 We present a simple way to quantify the energy cost of manual self-fanning during heat stress by combining accelerometry (movement) + indirect calorimetry (energy). Feasible, effective, and scalable to other cooling behaviours. journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.1...

🌡️ We’re recruiting PPIE members for THERMO-CARE, an NIHR project developing practical ways to protect NHS staff during heatwaves. Have lived experience of heat sensitivity, long-term conditions or hospital care? We want to hear from you. 📩 d.filingeri@soton.ac.uk (@thermosenselab.bsky.social)

The heat is on: heat vulnerability and MS in a warming world
We sat down with researchers Dr Nuno Koch Esteves and Professor Davide Filingeri from the University of Southampton to learn about their work on heat vulnerability.

Bilbao Half Marathon 2025—01:30:00 🏃 First half marathon in 3 years since being diagnosed with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, and exactly 2 years to the day since I was last rushed to hospital! Been quite the journey and I’m honestly just so happy to be back running and racing😃

“This is just the beginning.” That’s how Summit Chair closed the Global Climate and Health Summit. From heat to funding to resilience, one message rang clear: climate action must protect health. And physiology is central to that mission. Thanks to all who joined us. @physoc.bsky.social #GCHS2025

The data is in. 2024 was the warmest year on record, and probably in the whole of human history – about 1.6°C warmer than the pre-industrial period. More than 1 billion individual thermometer measurements have been condensed into a single vital number. theconversation.com/my-new-dark-...

My new dark red climate stripe for 2024 shows it’s the hottest year yet
These ‘warming stripes’, adopted around the world as a symbol of climate awareness, action and ambition, now include another dark red stripe for 2024.
