Wochentaz Podcast: Heat Break for the Brain
This article summarizes a taz podcast episode titled 'Reingehen' published on July 18, 2026. The episode covers two interconnected trends: climate heating and virus epidemics. Health editor Manuela Heim reports from the research island of Riems in the Baltic Sea, where experiments with dangerous viruses are conducted on pigs in high-security labs, exploring whether humans control viruses or vice versa. Separately, trainee Clara Dünkler investigates how hot classrooms become during heatwaves, finding that most schools lack adequate preparation or cooling solutions despite rising temperatures. The podcast aims to highlight these pressing issues and potential remedies. The article also promotes taz's reader-supported, paywall-free journalism model.
