Congratulations to Prof Mary O'Connell and colleagues on their recent award from the Wellcome Trust under their special call on 'Biological vulnerability to extreme heat in maternal and child health'. This program will generate critical new knowledge on biological mechanisms affected by heat stress during early pregnancy that can alter life-course health in subsequent generations.
