Young people are more likely to believe and pass on misinformation if they feel a sense of common identity with the person who shared it in the first place. This research has lessons for all of us. https://t.co/nvrnNUXm05 — PolitiTweet.org

What is artificial intelligence? We drew a flowchart to answer questions about this technology you might be too embarrassed to ask. https://t.co/aE92YndcJ3 — PolitiTweet.org

A few lonely academics have been warning for years that solar power faces a fundamental challenge. Now, a new report finds California is already acutely experiencing this threat. https://t.co/DmCrOVgQ3D — PolitiTweet.org

Facebook wanted you to type with your mind. Now it’s dropping funding for this research because, says the former head of the silent-speech project, the consumer interface is "still a very long way out. Possibly longer than we would have foreseen.” https://t.co/gckLEeEB1x — PolitiTweet.org

“The world is warming, and it’s going to go beyond what normal physiology can cope with,” says @_LizHanna, a former public health researcher at the Australian National University, who studies extreme heat. READ @casey_crownhart’s story here: https://t.co/BhCvMhJCVu — PolitiTweet.org

People’s heat tolerance can also change over time—your body can become more acclimatized to heat with exposure, sort of like the way it can acclimatize to lower oxygen levels at high elevations. — PolitiTweet.org

Children and elderly people usually can’t regulate their temperature as well as young adults, and people on certain medications have a decreased ability to sweat. — PolitiTweet.org

MIT Technology Review @techreview

Humidity cripples this cooling method—if it’s so humid that there’s already a lot of water vapor in the air, then sweat can’t evaporate as quickly, and sweating won’t cool you down as much. — PolitiTweet.org

MIT Technology Review @techreview

Problems start when our bodies can’t lose heat fast enough. When your core temperature gets too hot, everything from organs to enzymes can shut down. Extreme heat can lead to major kidney and heart problems, and even brain damage. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s also causing over a third of heat-related deaths. We’re changing our planet—what are the limits of what we can endure? https://t.co/0eh4tZuwFS — PolitiTweet.org

MIT Technology Review @techreview

Researchers have found that climate change is making extreme heat waves up to hundreds of times more likely. https://t.co/Pzu4e0sUoI — PolitiTweet.org

MIT Technology Review @techreview

Tolerance can vary from person to person, and someone’s ability to withstand heat can change. Understanding our limits and what determines them will be more important as global temperatures creep upward and extreme weather events become harder to predict. — PolitiTweet.org

MIT Technology Review @techreview

But what makes a place unlivable isn’t as straightforward as a specific temperature, and even accounting for humidity doesn’t fully explain the limits of the human body in extreme heat. https://t.co/BhCvMhJCVu — PolitiTweet.org

MIT Technology Review @techreview

Climate change is making extreme heat more common and more severe, as we've seen in the heat waves that have swept the western US for the past two weeks. Some climate models predict that swaths of the globe will become inhospitable to humans in the next century. — PolitiTweet.org
