Transcript

In this brief podcast, I discuss my recent 2024 paper.

I link my nation wide statistical study to Houston’s challenge in mid-July 2024 in the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl.

I discuss lessons from France and the increase in the mortality rate when people do not have easy access to air conditioning.
