The Summary Studies have found that wildfire smoke negatively affects brain health. “A lot of the research on wildfire smoke has historically focused on our lungs and our hearts,” said Stephanie Cleland, an assistant professor at Simon Fraser University who studies the health impacts of wildfire smoke. Scientists think the reason wildfire smoke affects the brain is that the tiny particles within it can cross the barrier between the bloodstream and the brain, causing inflammation in the central nervous system. Other research published the same year showed that exposure to wildfire smoke during the school year reduced students’ test scores relative to a year with no smoke. “Last summer completely changed our conversation around who’s exposed to wildfire smoke,” she said.

To spare you a bad experience, Ridgway told BI her top red flags to look out for at a bar so you know when to make a beeline toward the exit. But if you're rolling up to a "craft cocktail bar," there shouldn't be a swarm of low-quality spirits. Ridgway said it's common for a bartender to join regulars for a sip of something boozy throughout the night. "I don't go to a bar to have someone not fully in control of their faculties mix me a drink," she told BI. A dismissive bartender is a tough sell for RidgwayWhen you go out to a bar, you're handing over some of your hard-earned dollars for the beverage of your choice.
