Join us for an evening of storytelling that explores the impact of extreme heat on the human body and the communities most vulnerable to its effects. ‘Under the Sun’ will delve into the science of heat, the life-and-death risks it presents, and the stories of resilience from those who bear the greatest burden in a warming world.
