Fantastic evening at @PhySoc, Council for Science and Technology, and @FoundSciTech event on climate adaptation and resilience. A clear message that plans and frameworks only work if they translate into protection for people in practice. Grounding resilience in human tolerance and vulnerability is essential - and this relies on physiology. Take a look at our work on physiological thresholds and how this provides a basis for resilience: physoc.org/thresholds
