Welcome to join this open guest lecture by Associate professor Jason Lee, and get ready for the summer heat!

The lecture explores heat's multifaceted impact on human health, safety, and performance, focusing on heat resilience as a key enabler for exercise, sleep, and nutrition, while also examining heat's influence on risk-taking behaviour and its potential as a stimulus for physiological adaptations to enhance endurance performance.

It is Associate professor Jason Lee from the National University of Singapore – a visiting researcher with Lund University Faculty mobility grant – who will give the lecture.
