Oliver's monologue on a Friday.

Show Notes On this month's episode, Sue, John and Paul invite Darragh O'Hanlon (@thetopicalvet)  onto the pod to discuss pollen allergies. Chapter 1 – How Pollens Affect Animals (02:32) John introduces the topic of pollen allergies and welcomes guest Darragh O'Hanlon. Darragh shares how Sue's lecture on otitis sparked his dermatology journey, and how John's CPD also played a role. (04:09) John asks how pollens cause allergic reactions in animals. Darragh explains that pollens are airborne reproductive grains from grasses, trees, and weeds, and describes their microscopic structure and typical transmission routes. He shares the story of Mitzi the fox terrier, one of the first dogs documented with airborne pollen allergy. (06:30) Sue asks whether pollens affect more than just the skin. Darragh explains that: In dogs, pollens mostly trigger atopic dermatitis but can also affect eyes and ears. Cats may show respiratory and skin symptoms, including asthma and eosinophilic conditions. Horses show skin reactions like urticaria and, in some regions, respiratory issues like heaves. (08:45) John asks why grass pollens are so problematic over say garden flowers. Darragh notes a rising trend in grass pollen allergy and explains the volume and dispersal of wind-pollinated plants. Garden flowers are less allergenic due to heavier, insect-borne pollen; wind-pollinated plants like grasses and trees produce vast quantities of light airborne pollen. Sue discusses tree flowers and their pollen production. (11:30) Sue asks which trees cause the worst reactions. Darragh highlights birch as a major allergen in Northern Europe. He explains its cross-reactivity with other tree pollens and regional variations such as cypress (Mediterranean) and cedar (Japan). Conifers and pines, though present in air samples, are less allergenic due to their size and resin content. Chapter 2 – Seasons, Cross-Reactions, and Geography (14:20) Sue asks about pollen season overlap and the role of allergy testing. Darragh agrees and describes how pollen calendars can predict seasonal challenges. He outlines Ireland's pollen calendar, from alder and hazel in winter through to weeds in autumn. (16:20) John asks if pollens cross-react with each other or be linked to food sensitivities. Darragh explains: Cross-reactivity is common among grasses and within trees and weeds. Birch is highly cross-reactive. Some food cross-reactions exist in humans (e.g. Mugwort-Birch-Celery Syndrome), but evidence in dogs is limited. (19:55) Sue mentions bee foraging and asks about using tape strips to detect pollens on animals. Darragh shares anecdotes and online interest in identifying pollens via tape stripping. (21:36) Sue asks about ragweed in Ireland. Darragh says it's rare locally but problematic in the US. He discusses its introduction to Europe and control measures. (23:20) John asks how pet owners can reduce pollen exposure. Darragh shares advice: Allergen avoidance is difficult; pollens travel long distances. Regular washing, foot rinsing, and barrier-supporting shampoos help. Avoid walking dogs on freshly cut grass or on high pollen days. (26:10) John asks about environmental factors like altitude or proximity to the sea. Darragh explains: Pollen can travel thousands of kilometres. Grass pollen is more localised than tree pollen. Higher altitudes and coastal winds can reduce exposure. (29:12) Sue mentions a 2023 study on reactions to grass sap, not just pollen. Darragh reflects on cases that may fit contact dermatitis patterns seen with grass sap exposure. Chapter 3 – Testing, Treatment & Takeaways (31:14) Sue asks for practical advice on pollen avoidance and resources. Darragh recommends: Monitoring pollen forecasts (e.g. Met Office, Met Éireann). Using allergy maps from dermatology providers. Avoiding warm, dry, windy days; walking dogs after rain. Understanding how weather affects pollen counts, including the impact of thunderstorms and urban pollution. (35:15) John asks about immunotherapy and vaccine formulation. Darragh explains: Allergen-specific immunotherapy aims to desensitise. Earlier intervention is better. Cross-reactivity helps simplify formulations. (38:36) Sue stresses that vaccine components must reflect relevant, local allergens. Darragh notes the importance of seasonal coverage and discusses challenges with mixing mould and pollen extracts. (41:05) Sue shares an anecdote about a mismatched allergy vaccine and wraps up with thanks to Darragh.

Viele empfinden den blühenden Frühling mehr als Plage denn als Freude, weil Pollen häufig Heuschnupfen auslösen. Diese Medikamente, Mittel und Methoden lindern Allergie-Symptome. Wenn es Sie juckt, beisst und brennt, sobald Gräser, Bäume oder Wiesen blühen gehören Sie zu den 20 Prozent der Schweizer Bevölkerung mit einer Pollen-Allergie. Die einzige Therapie, die das Problem an der Ursache bekämpft ist eine Desensibilisierung, eine Immuntherapie. Mit Tabletten oder Spritzen will man das Immunsystem davon wegbringen, bei eigentlich harmlosen Stoffen aus der Umwelt mit Antikörpern zu reagieren. Eine Immuntherapie dauert etwa drei Jahre und ist schon bei Kindern möglich. Ganz allergie-frei wird man auch damit nicht, aber: «Etwa 80 Prozent unserer Patientinnen und Patienten sind zufrieden und sagen, sie können wieder draussen Sport machen», sagt die Andrina Neff vom Kantonsspital St Gallen. Wer trotz Heuschnupfen Zeit in der Natur verbringen möchte, dem empfiehlt die Allergologin Antihistaminika. Wer stark unter Heuschnupfen leidet, könne Antihistamin-Tabletten sogar täglich nehmen oder kortisonhaltige Nasensprays und Asthma-Inhalatoren nutzen. Wer alternative Heilmethoden ausprobieren möchte: Nach der evidenzbasierten Medizin gibt es keinen Beweis, dass z.B. Akupunktur oder Hypnose wirken. Das sei aber sehr individuell, sagt Andrina Neff und die Studienlage noch dünn. Eine Herausforderung für Studien zu Heuschnupfen: Der Pollenflug ist jedes Jahr anders. Auch die Klimaerwärmung verstärkt den Anstieg der Pollen-Allergie, weil mehr Pollen, längere Zeit in der Luft sind.

Ref.: Dr. Michael Barczok, Lungenfacharzt, Ulm An trocken-hitzigen Sommertagen ist die Luft mehr als sonst mit Staub und Pollen belastet. Aber das sind nicht die einzigen Umwelteinflüsse, mit denen unsere Lunge fertig werden muss. Husten und Atemnot können die Folge sein. Wann ist es sinnvoll, die Luft zu befeuchten? Und was bewirken Luftreiniger? In der Lebenshilfe erklärt der Lungen-Spezialist und Umweltmediziner Dr. Michael Barczok, wo überall Allergene, Gifte und Schmutz in der Luft lauern - und wie wir uns möglichst effektiv schützen können.

Sie brachten 1925 ein wenig Ordnung in die chaotische Welt der Quanten – allen voran Werner Heisenberg. Ausserdem: Wo steht der Hype um Taurin als Wundermittel gegen das Altern heute? Und: Wir schauen nochmals genau hin, was kam im Lötschental runter, was liegt nun da und was bedeutet das jetzt? (00:00) Schlagzeilen (00:45) Die Geburtsstunde der Quantenmechanik: Vor 100 Jahren brachte der 23-jährige Werner Heisenberg die Quantenmechanik auf der Insel Helgoland aufs Papier. Dorthin war er vor den Pollen gelüchtet. Er lüftet Nase und andere Schleimhäute und offenbar auch seinen Kopf. (07:22) Meldungen: Das ungewisse Schicksal der Wissenschaft in den USA; der Schutz der Nashörner in Südafrika (12:36) Gehyptes Taurin: Vor zwei Jahren wurde Taurin in der Fachzeitschrift Science als Wundermolekül gehypt: Die in zahlreiche biologische Prozesse involvierte Aminosäure verlangsame den Alterungsprozess. Eine neue Science-Studie kommt nun zum gegenteiligen Schluss – Taurin eigne sich nicht als Biomarker fürs Altern. Ein Lehrstück über ein Forschungsfeld, das auch von kommerziellen Interessen getrieben ist. (19:06) Unverrückbare Schutthalde: Beim Bergsturz von Blatten donnerte keine Fels- und Schuttlawine ins Tal, sondern ein Gletscher mit Geröll obendrauf. Dies machte diesen Bergsturz so zerstörerisch und ist mit ein Grund, warum sich der mächtige Schuttkegel über dem Dorf nicht so einfach wegräumen lässt. Welche Rolle spielen Gletscher bei Bergstürzen und wie spielt dabei der Klimawandel mit? Links: Sachbuch: Thomas de Padova, Quantenlicht.

Welcome back to HappyPorch Radio: the circular economy technology podcast!In this episode, our hosts Tandi Tuakli and Barry O'Kane had a fascinating conversation with Leah Pollen, a specialist in profitability and circular strategies within the used electronics market, particularly mobile devices. Leah shares deep insights into how the mobile phone industry's leasing and trade-in programs—especially driven by OEMs like Apple and Samsung—created what she calls “accidental circularity.” Leah also explains the business case for phone rental models, including calculations around device depreciation, residual value, repair logistics, and customer return behaviors.One of the biggest barriers Leah identifies is mindset. Many organisations are still entrenched in linear thinking—focusing on sales volume, product obsolescence, and short-term wins. She stresses the importance of redefining what product success looks like in a circular model.Our hosts and Leah draw parallels between mobile phones and other sectors like fashion, luxury goods, and homeware—discussing where circular lessons could be applied and where challenges persist due to differing value chains and consumer behaviors.This podcast is brought to you by HappyPorch. We specialise in technology and software development for Circular Economy minded purpose-driven businesses. Our podcast focuses mostly on: Circular Economy, Digital Enablers, Technology, Software, Circular Solutions, Fashion & Textiles, Circular Strategies, Digital, Reuse, Circular Design, Circularity, Systems Thinking, Economics, Data, Platforms, Degrowth, Policy & Regulation, Collaboration, Materials, Supply Chain, Biological Cycles, Materials, Food Waste, Biomimicry, Construction, Modular Design, Culture & Language, Zero Waste, Digital Passports, Life Cycle Assessment, Recycling, Reverse Logistics, Materials, Sharing Economy, Manufacturing, Efficiency, Environmental Impact and much more!

Depuis les débuts de l'agriculture et de l'élevage, il y a 11.000 ans, depuis ce passage des chasseurs-cueilleurs aux agro-pasteurs, l'humain a cessé de vivre AVEC ou dans le Vivant, la Nature, mais CONTRE.Pour protéger ses cultures et ses troupeaux, il a commencé à pourchasser et détruire tous les êtres vivants qu'il a considéré comme des pique-assiettes. Exemple notoire : le Loup, qui avait été domestiqué longtemps avant (en devenant le Chien), est devenu un ennemi, parce qu'il s'en prenait au bétail. Je raconte cette histoire dans la première série de Mécaniques du Vivant sur France Culture.Conscient des ravages perpétrés contre la biodiversité, de la 6e extinction de masse, inédite par sa vitesse et son accélération, certains homo sapiens essaient de cultiver autrement, durablement. C'est la permaculture et l'agroforesterie par exemple. Dans ces façons de nous nourrir et de cultiver respectueuses du Vivant, les pesticides et la chimie destructrice, y compris pour nous, sont remplacés par des AUXILIAIRES de culture. Des êtres vivants qui nous aident à réguler les ravageurs de cultures.AVEC plutôt que CONTRE.ENTRAIDE plutôt que COMPÉTITION.Les auxiliaires de culture sont des bactéries, champignons, plantes, ou des animaux, comme des oiseaux, des insectes, qui protègent nos cultures d'autres organismes … dont ils sont des prédateurs naturels. Ces auxiliaires de culture sont parfois élevés et disséminés ou encouragés à venir par l'humain pour débarrasser les plantes des indésirables. Certains de ces auxiliaires, comme la célèbre Coccinelle, sont des prédateurs et des régulateurs d'autres êtres vivants. D'autres sont des pollinisateurs. Et pas seulement les Papillons et les Abeilles, mais beaucoup d'autres, comme des Mouches, des Syrphes voire des Oiseaux ou des Chauves-souris nectarivores. Enfin, certains, comme les Vers de terre, aèrent les sols et contribuent à les maintenir vivants et productifs._______Notre invité est Hugues Mouret, un des fondateurs et dirigeants de l'association Arthropologia, une copine de notre propre asso Baleine sous Gravillon._______

May you have the courage to stand in your own knowing.May you find the grace to let go of striving for perfection, and instead embrace the sacredness of your imperfect, human journey.May luminous moments of optimism and possibility guide you,even as you move through gray times of despair and doubt.May you have the wisdom to choose differently, to prioritize what truly matters,creating a legacy that lingers. May you always find solace in the holy ground beneath your feet,the sacred presence that dwells within and all around you.Shine your light, dear one,your small, precious gifts are needed in this world.Happy Spring Equinox! I hope you are enjoying a gentle leap into a new season. Our own weather has been erratic and wild, including nearby tornadoes that wreaked havoc on our town.

We are using this pigment to honor Áine, the Irish Fairy Queen, who is this year's featured goddess at Gaea Goddess Gathering. We do know that she is a summertime goddess, but we felt like this pigment was an excellent match for the spring equinox/Ostara and our month of Persephone as well, so we went forward with it!This week's magic:* 8 minute video: beholding delight.Resource Reminders:* New free series: An Introduction to Goddess Studies* 1. getting started* 2. printable journal* 3. affirmation card set* 4. portable altar space* 5. introduction to thealogy* 6. influential authors in goddess studies* 7. audio retreat: spots of time (note: publishing Saturday)Blog Posts:* Ritual Reading for Spring Equinox (A Spring Ritual of Returning)* Clarity and the CrossroadsBeholding DelightReminder: Let us be open to delight.

This week on Shagged, Married, Annoyed - Rosie has been antagonising the pollen gods and Chris is being a brave little boy even though he has a cold. We also discuss Katy Perry's intergalactic mission - and Chris tells us some space facts which makes everything get quite existential... A weekend away has inspired both this week's beefs, and QFTPs involve an unusual 80th birthday party, a leather jacket that should never see the light of day and a prankster that took things way, way, waaaaaay too far.

This week, we dived back into a few topics that inspired our listeners to send comments in the last few weeks. Why is there so much pollen?" we recently asked. We now have the answer. "How much should we talk about our training at work?" Some folks gave us their takes. We also talked about a few topics--like sodium bicarbonate and ketone supplements--that friends and training partners have recently discussed with us in workouts. In addition, we talked about a recent study of how social media may negatively impact your training, and we offered our thoughts on the first Grand Slam track meet.

In this reflective episode, Jim Tew shares an honest and personal conversation about queens—both the winged kind in the hive and the ones we buy in cages. Sitting among his thriving colonies, Jim weighs the pros and cons of letting bees raise their own queens versus introducing commercially produced ones. He explores the timing, risks, and costs of each approach and how personal priorities—like honey production, genetics, and even beekeeping stamina—factor into the decision. As spring builds, Jim considers the idea of walkaway splits, splitting strong colonies and letting the bees raise their own queens naturally. But is that the right call? Will a naturally reared queen be as productive or reliable as one from a queen producer? What if the colony falters during the queen-rearing process? From his rocking chair among the bees, Jim doesn't offer a definitive answer—just thoughtful questions and seasoned observations for beekeepers at any stage in their journey. Whether you're driven by production goals or simply enjoy the companionship of your colonies, this episode offers plenty to think about when it comes to queens, splits, and what it means to keep bees. ______________________ Thanks to Betterbee for sponsoring today's episode.

In many parts of the United States, spring has sprung. There's nothing quite like those first few beautiful days of spring. They're delightful—until the sneezing starts.According to the CDC, a quarter of US adults deal with seasonal allergies. And if you think they're getting worse, it's not just in your head. Previous research has shown that climate change is making pollen seasons start earlier and become more intense, a problem that's expected to get worse.Joining Host Ira Flatow to discuss the science behind seasonal allergies, and the best methods for treating them, is Dr. Neeta Ogden, director of the Allergy, Asthma and Sinus Center in Edison, New Jersey.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

In this episode of Beekeeping Today Podcast, certified honey judge Stephanie Slater joins Jeff and Becky to demystify the art and science of honey shows. From understanding how entries are judged to tips on preparing award-winning honey, Stephanie shares her journey from entering her first show in 2019 to becoming Wisconsin's first certified judge through the American Honey Show Training Council. Stephanie discusses what makes a honey show entry stand out—from reading the rules (yes, seriously!) to selecting high-quality jars, preventing bubbles, and even traveling with honey safely. She shares insights into the Black Jar competition (hint: it's all about flavor), gives pro tips for preparing entries, and explains why feedback from judges is so important for improving and learning. The conversation also explores the steps required to become a certified honey judge, including training, stewarding, judging exams, and why these standards matter to elevate honey and beekeeping as a whole. Whether you're new to honey competitions or considering becoming a judge yourself, this episode is packed with guidance, encouragement, and a healthy dose of enthusiasm.

Online beekeeping education has come a long way—and the University of Montana is leading the way. In this episode, Jeff and Becky talk with Dr. Scott Debnam, head beekeeper and lead instructor for UM's Online Master Beekeeping Program, about how the program has evolved over the past 12 years and why it continues to grow. Scott shares how the program balances science-based instruction with practical application. Rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all approach, students learn honey bee biology and colony ecology so they can make informed decisions that fit their goals, values, and local conditions. The program's three levels—apprentice, journeyman, and master—are structured to build experience over time, with engaging lectures, moderated forums, and even student-led research. Students come from across the U.S. and over 25 countries, and their questions, experience, and feedback shape the program's dynamic learning environment. Scott's enthusiasm for teaching and his love for bees are front and center in this conversation, which highlights the value of structured learning, community interaction, and lifelong curiosity in becoming a better beekeeper.
