A study from Dartmouth analyzed nearly 200 Ironman contestants over two decades and found that performance may be linked to how an athlete’s physique is adapted to shedding or retaining heat in certain climates. Taller, leaner runners with long limbs tended to excel in warm climates, while marathoners with stockier builds and shorter limbs fared better in colder climates. The research is among the first to suggest that human physiology may be adapted to climate to optimize physical performance.

This essay is a food-for-thought on the identity (culture), training and education of special forces (SF). The target audience is the special forces, the emerging wider special operations forces (SOF) community, politicians and key military decision-takers who must wield special forces. Admittedly every nation has its particularities, but many SF throughout the world have common concerns and difficulties when it comes to setting a culture that matches a clear identity.

Sisters Ava and Izzy of Hanover, New Hampshire, were curious as to why frog eggs that they found near their home had different colors on them. Maybe this would affect how the frogs would grow, they thought. Two years later, with the help of their scientist-dad, they published their findings.

The Calsbeek family’s findings illustrate how communal nesting habits among animal species in New Hampshire are directly impacted by temperature shifts due to climate change.
