About the talk: Climate-sensitive populations, such as outdoor workers and farmworkers, often have little choice when it comes to heat exposure on the job. In this talk, we will explore the impact of working outdoors in high temperatures and discuss potential solutions to protect these workers from life-threatening heat stress. Heat-related illnesses and fatalities are preventable, and the idea that this is just an unavoidable reality is a misconception. By raising awareness and equipping workers and employers with the necessary information and resources, we can effectively reduce the incidence of heat-related illnesses and deaths. About the speaker Dr. Chicas is a Latina nurse scientist and advocate for worker safety, dedicated to advancing health equity for farmworker and outdoor worker communities. As an Assistant Professor at Emory University's Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing, she leads the testing of a wearable biopatch that collects physiological data to help AI predict heat-related illness risks. She also conducted the first field-based intervention study on reducing core body temperature using real-time biomonitoring among U.S. farmworkers. Dr. Chicas' research is shaped by her personal experiences and ongoing insights from the communities she serves, ensuring that her findings are shared back with them. Protegiendo a los Trabajadores al Aire Libre: Soluciones para el Calor Extremo Las comunidades sensibles al clima, como los trabajadores que trabajan afuera y los trabajadores agrícolas, a menudo tienen poca decisión en cuanto a la exposición al calor en el trabajo. En esta charla, exploraremos el impacto de trabajar al aire libre a altas temperaturas y discutiremos posibles soluciones para proteger a estos trabajadores contra el estrés por el calor que podría ser mortal. Las enfermedades y muertes relacionadas con el calor son prevenibles, y la idea de que esto es simplemente una realidad inevitable es
