The recent hot days remind us just how grouchy and out-of-it we can feel in summer heat.
And while the warnings about excessive heat are generally aimed at the very young and very old, it can affect a broader swath of the population.

Memo Cedeño is the lead author of the study and our guest. His full title: Associate Director of the Healthy Buildings program at the Center for Climate, Health and the Global Environment at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
