Hot Takes by the UCLA Heat Lab
As global warming worsens, heat increasingly impacts people's daily lives - influencing health, behavior, and more. But, we often aren’t very conscious about heat and knowledge of it doesn’t get shared beyond academia and specialized fields. In every episode, our hosts engage different researchers, activists, or community members to share their work and how it can be applied in the real world.

Ep 4 - Dismantling Carceral Ecologies with Dr. Nicholas Shapiro and Kate McInerny
Although many of us are familiar with mass incarceration and environmental injustice as separate issues, we often don’t put the two together. Through his Carceral Ecologies lab, Dr. Nicholas Shapiro does just that - examining unjust environmental conditions in the prison industrial complex. Join us, Dr. Shapiro, and special guest Kate McInerny we discuss the lab’s community driven research and delve into abolitionism.
