Important research projects addressing challenges from skin cancer to traffic injuries at The University of Queensland have been awarded more than $50.

Chronic sensitivity to excessive heat and cold temperatures during breastfeeding is responsible for 17 to 19% of stillbirths.
However, these results are based on the minimal data currently available, so expectant mothers should not be concerned; further research is needed.
According to environmental scientist Dr. Scott Lieske, the results indicate that women in developed countries will be affected as global temperatures increase.

Climate change is perhaps the greatest existential threat that humanity has ever faced and as environmental research accumulates, we keep discovering unexpected side effects of making industrial civilization reliant on fossil fuels. The latest one: a likely link between global warming and increased numbers of stillbirths.
A new study published in the scientific journal
Environmental Research suggests a connection between an increase in the Earth’s temperature and more stillbirths. Authors from the University of Queensland found that pregnant women who were exposed to extreme ambient temperatures during their pregnancy seemed to be at an increased risk of stillbirth, especially later in the pregnancy. Scholars at their School of Earth and Envir
