Analysis: Rising temperatures and wider climatic changes are altering pollen seasons and human exposure to airborne allergens For many hay fever sufferers, June is the month to endure.

40@40: Soil Use & Management, A Fortieth Anniversary Retrospective
1 Introduction Soil management represents the practical roots of soil science, aiming to optimise soil use amid a changing land-use environment and society's need for increased food production. Its progression as a scientific discipline stems from the accumulation of knowledge in the natural sciences—chemistry, physics and biology—during the late 19th century.

The Government Shutdown and Issues it Raises for Broadcasters
With the federal government shutdown now in its third day, having started on October 1, 2025, after Congress failed to fund the government for the coming year or to pass a “continuing resolution” to allow government agencies to function at their current levels, we thought that we should summarize the FCC’s guidance as to what is and what is not functional at the FCC during this period.
Letter to the editor: HRDC helping Big Sky with complex housing crisis
Big Sky, like most Montana communities, has been experiencing a housing crisis for many years. As property values skyrocket and available rentals dwindle, the Big Sky Community Housing Trust has been working to address the problem since its inception in 2019. As far back as 2011, the Big Sky Chamber had identified a community housing trust as a powerful tool for communities to ensure there’s always a place for residents across the whole income spectrum.
How to tackle new strains of potato blight and avoid another great famine
By David O'Connor, Associate Professor, School of Chemical Sciences, Dublin City University A new aggressive potato blight strain was detected in Wales and eastern Scotland earlier this year. The strain, identified as EU 46, can withstand certain fungicides, making it harder to control. It serves as a stark reminder that nearly 175 years after Ireland’s great famine, this destructive pathogen continues to evolve and endanger crops around the world.

A new aggressive potato blight strain was detected in Wales and eastern Scotland earlier this year. The strain, identified as EU 46, can withstand certain fungicides, making it harder to control. It serves as a stark reminder that nearly 175 years after Ireland’s great famine, this destructive pathogen continues to evolve and endanger crops around the world. Each year, farmers lose an estimated US$6–7 billion (£4.5-5.2 billion) worth of crops due to this disease.

Immune determinants of pegivirus persistence, control, and cross-species infection in the laboratory mouse
Abstract Approximately 15% of the global human population is viremic with human pegivirus (HPgV), a +ssRNA virus in the Flaviviridae family. An unusual feature of HPgV is its ability to persistently infect individuals without causing overt disease or evoking robust immune responses, but this phenomenon is poorly understood due to a dearth of systems for studying HPgV.

4 ways to make public transport easy to use and safe for all
Opinion: We need to send the message that public transport really matters by making it safe, easy to use and part of the neighbourhood By Sarah Rock and David O'Connor, TU Dublin Who would argue that great public transport isn’t something every big town and city needs? Despite this, many cities are dogged by years of poor planning, low investment and lack of political will. The result? Car-choked cities, congestion and limited opportunities for people to live healthy and active lives.

Waving Tassels - Fractured
Plan to Free The dog ate the turkey. Then killed all the village swans, piled the white corpses at the front door, impossible to hide, a pyre to be paid for with exile. In the orange school bus, every morning and afternoon, no matter the snow or dust, we’d lower the windows and hang out from the waist yelling across the rutabaga fields and hail our dog chained to a tractor tire.
