Get Festive, but Safely!: Lollapalooza is this weekend! Whether you’re going or watching the YouTube stream in the comfort of your own home, here’s a round all about staying safe while having fun at summer music festivals.

Answers in tomorrow’s email.

1. Be sure to apply strong sunscreen at least every 2–3 hours, more frequently if you’re sweating or moshing. When you reach for that bottle, remember that SPF stands for “sun protection”… what?

2. Make sure your water bottle is full! But if you want to participate in a viral activity from 2016, Dutch physicists figured out you’ll want it about a third full. Name that trend!

3. The most severe form of hyperthermia above heat exhaustion is marked by a body temperature of 104 degrees. What is it called?

4. If you’re setting a place where you’ll meet up with your group later, you might use what term, which means “present yourselves” in French?

5. Phone networks can be spotty when everyone’s trying to flood TikTok with their festival looks, but you can keep in touch using a device that was called a “packset” by its Canadian inventor in 1937. What cutesy rhyming nickname do we know it better as?
