Unsurprisingly, a detailed investigation by Boston University/NPR finds heat deaths are way underreported in the U.S. : ~9000 per year in 2018-2025, 5x higher than CDC estimates. “In Florida, We estimate more than 1,900 deaths each year, about 40 times as many as reported.”

The Distinguished Scholar Award honors outstanding scholars whose long record of excellent research & teaching has had a substantial impact on the field of international environmental studies. This year's awardee is Dr. Ronald Mitchell, Professor of Political Science at the University of Oregon! 🏆

Some more details: 1. In order to be eligible for the Award, at the time of presentation, the author(s) need to have been graduate students 2. The award comes with a prize of $150, a certificate, and mentorship and consideration for publication in GEP Best of luck to all the nominees! 🤞🤞🤞
