Podcasts about Pollen

Allergist Tina Sindher acknowledges that allergies may be affecting more people worldwide, influenced by a combination of factors such as environmental changes, modern lifestyles, urbanization, and evolving dietary habits. Prevention is playing catch-up, and promising new strategies include earlier food introduction than was popular only a few years ago. On the treatment front, hopes are rising for immunotherapies and a new prescription medicine, omalizumab, that addresses multiple allergens at once. While no single approach helps all, these strategies could allow millions worldwide to better manage their allergies, Sindher tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast. Have a question for Russ?

One in four Australians get hay fever, and as the planet warms, our seasonal sneezes and sniffles are tipped to get much, much worse. 

In this episode of The Backstory on the Shroud of Turin, Guy R. Powell interviews lawyer and Shroud researcher William Red, who applies legal reasoning to the centuries-old mystery of the Shroud.William explains how courtroom standards reasonable suspicion, balance of probabilities, and beyond reasonable doubt can be applied to Shroud evidence. He demonstrates why the 1988 Carbon 14 dating, flawed by breaches in protocol and limited sampling, would be inadmissible in court. Instead, he highlights stronger evidence:Pollen unique to JerusalemDust samples from crucifixion-related areasBlood serum halos around woundsForensic details confirming crucifixion practicesHe contrasts absurd theories, like a Da Vinci forgery, against overwhelming corroborative science. Through a legal lens, the evidence tips the scales toward authenticity, pointing to a first-century origin.This discussion bridges law, science, and faith, asking: what verdict would you render if you were the juror?Whether you're a believer, skeptic, or curious investigator, William's perspective reframes the Shroud as more than an artifact—it becomes a witness to the Resurrection.Click here to view the video: https://youtu.be/t-YWL2ZmWl0

fWotD Episode 3030: Flower Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 21 August 2025, is Flower.Flowers, also known as blooms and blossoms, are the reproductive structures of flowering plants. Typically, they are structured in four circular levels around the end of a stalk. These include: sepals, which are modified leaves that support the flower; petals, often designed to attract pollinators; male parts, where pollen is presented; and female parts, where pollen is received and its movement is facilitated to the egg. When flowers are arranged in a group, they are known collectively as an inflorescence.The development of flowers is a complex and important part in the life cycles of flowering plants. In most plants, flowers are able to produce sex cells of both sexes. Pollen, which can produce the male sex cells, is transported between the male and female parts of flowers in pollination. Pollination can occur between different plants, as in cross-pollination, or between flowers on the same plant or even the same flower, as in self-pollination. Pollen movement may be caused by animals, such as birds and insects, or non-living things like wind and water. The colour and structure of flowers assist in the pollination process.After pollination, the sex cells are fused together in the process of fertilisation, which is a key step in sexual reproduction. Through cellular and nuclear divisions, the resulting cell grows into a seed, which contains structures to assist in the future plant's survival and growth. At the same time, the female part of the flower forms into a fruit, and the other floral structures die. The function of fruit is to protect the seed and aid in its dispersal away from the mother plant. Seeds can be dispersed by living things, such as birds who eat the fruit and distribute the seeds when they defecate. Non-living things like wind and water can also help to disperse the seeds.Flowers first evolved between 150 and 190 million years ago, in the Jurassic. Plants with flowers replaced non-flowering plants in many ecosystems, as a result of flowers' superior reproductive effectiveness. In the study of plant classification, flowers are a key feature used to differentiate plants. For thousands of years humans have used flowers for a variety of other purposes, including: decoration, medicine, food, and perfumes. In human cultures, flowers are used symbolically and feature in art, literature, religious practices, ritual, and festivals. All aspects of flowers, including size, shape, colour, and smell, show immense diversity across flowering plants. They range in size from 0.1 mm (1⁄250 inch) to 1 metre (3.3 ft), and in this way range from highly reduced and understated, to dominating the structure of the plant. Plants with flowers dominate the majority of the world's ecosystems, and themselves range from tiny orchids and major crop plants to large trees.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:04 UTC on Thursday, 21 August 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Flower on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Danielle.

Eine atopische Dermatitis, in der Umgangssprache häufig auch als allergisches Ekzem bezeichnet, ist eine chronische, juckende Entzündung der oberen Hautschichten. Sie macht sich bei Tieren durch Juckreiz mit Kratzen, Beissen und Reiben verschiedener Körperteile bemerkbar. Ein Ekzem bei der Katze und beim Hund ist beispielsweise an Hautrötungen zu erkennen. Es können sich zudem kleine eitrige Pickel auf der befallenen Haut bilden. Ein Ekzem kann auch dazu führen, dass an der jeweiligen Hautstelle die Haare ausfallen. Für eine sichere Diagnose werden vom Tierarzt andere Erkrankungen durch verschiedene Untersuchungen ausgeschlossen. Diagnose Allergie Erst wenn der Tierarzt oder die Tierärztin sicher ist, dass es sich um eine Umweltallergie gegen Pollen, Hausstaubmilben etc. handelt und erst, wenn der Besitzer bei seinem Tier eine Immuntherapie (Desensibilisierung) durchführen möchte, wird ein Allergietest durchgeführt.

Oliver's monologue on a Friday.

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.

Eine neue Science-Studie kommt nun zum gegenteiligen Schluss – Taurin eigne sich nicht als Biomarker fürs Altern.

My friend Nicole Cormier is a registered dietician and studying for a masters in herbalism. And when she told me she eats pine pollen — and that in fact, it's one of her favorite things to forage, I had to tag along.

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!

Send us a textOn this episode, we review the recently announced FAA strategy for hiring more air traffic controllers -- all while addressing the first pollen burst of the year and how pilots can navigate using antihistamines and other medications without jeopardizing their medical certificate.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says federal officials are "reviewing the visa status" of people arrested Wednesday during a pro-Palestinian demonstration at Columbia University. Meanwhile, a woman is suing New York City after a car hit her following a protest and police responded by arresting her. Plus, it's allergy season. WNYC's Michael Hill speaks with Dr. Guy Robinson, the lone individual tasked with tracking that data in the city.

Join Opie for a lively morning stream from 500 feet above New York City, where spring is in the air but so is the pesky pollen driving him nuts. In this episode, Opie rants about the city's miserable vibe, shares a hilarious tale of a realtor hyping up a house with celebrity neighbors like Al Pacino, and dives into nostalgic stories from his radio days, including meeting Sam Kinison in a Cosby sweater and a lucky snapshot with Bill Clinton. From NBA playoff excitement to the struggles of urban life and a chaotic moment at Gebhards, Opie keeps it real, raw, and unfiltered. Tune in for laughs, gripes, and a dose of Opie’s signature charm!

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.

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.
