Extremes: Protecting Worker Health in a Warming World

The Pulitzer Center, Science magazine, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) are bringing together journalists, policymakers, and other experts to focus on the impact of high heat on workers and vulnerable communities in the U.S. and around the world.
