New NASEM report Health and Safety Impacts of Aircraft Cabin Temperatures examines evidence how cabin temperatures, humidity conditions influence physiological, cognitive, & behavioral outcomes for passengers and flight attendants, incl serious though uncommon health impacts.
Discover how Ebola spreads, when people become contagious, and how protective measures reduce risk.
Emily Zhang has created dozens of YouTube videos, receiving over 300 million views on subjects from the physics of bowling to the invention of blue LED. This year she started Rabbit Hole, a channel that offers “extraordinary answers to everyday questions.” We spoke with Zhang — a 2025 winner of the National Academies’ Eric and Wendy Schmidt Awards for Excellence in Science Communications — about Rabbit Hole and her experiences with YouTube as a medium for science communication.
Commercial aircraft cabins expose passengers and flight attendants to a range of environmental conditions, including at times excessively hot or cold temperatures that may affect health, safety, and c...
