Captain David Minard was an American physiologist known for his contributions to heat stress physiology, particularly during Project Mercury, the first human spaceflight program in the U.S. In the late 1950s, he developed the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature Index, along with Constantin Yaglou, for measuring heat stress in military training and industrial settings. This index remains in use today for various applications, including military, steel mills, and marathons. In 1960, Minard assessed the Mercury Seven astronauts' heat stress during their training.
