There have been some cases recently where a student athlete has died from heat stroke. And the parents have taken it to a criminal court case, and the coaches have be charged with manslaughtertis is, this is not taken lightly. So i got a call from a reporter at billings, montanad and i'm somewhat familiar with montana. But they are experiencing a heat wave currently right now, with their temperatures in the upper nineties. And his question was, the coaches really don't know what to do. And so he sent me their policy that's in place. There are also policies in there on what you o do witha hydration so what should we do about hydration
How do you prevent a heat stroke? Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-hosts Chuck Nice and Gary O’Reilly learn about stopping heat illness deaths and the challenges of increasing heat waves with kinesiologist, Bud Cooper, and climate scientist, Radley Horton.
