Podcasts about zika

No dia 11 de novembro de 2015, o Ministério da Saúde decretou a epidemia de zika vírus no Brasil como situação de emergência em saúde pública de importância nacional. Naquele momento, pesquisadores de diversas áreas estavam debruçados sobre os casos de microcefalia em bebês , que pipocavam pelo país, sobretudo no Nordeste, e buscavam estabelecer a relação entre a contaminação das gestantes com a doença e as sequelas neurológicas nas crianças. O Durma com Essa desta quarta-feira (8) relembra as ações tomadas pelo governo na época, explica as descobertas científicas  sobre a doença e mostra como a a epidemia  ainda gera impactos no Brasil, dez anos depois da crise aguda.  O programa desta semana tem também João Paulo Charleaux falando sobre o telefonema entre Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva e Donald Trump na segunda-feira (6), e Emanuel Galdino explicando a série de reportagens sobre transição energética que ele está publicando no Nexo com apoio da Fapesp (Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo).  Learn more about your ad choices.

RE-RELEASE: This episode was originally released in February 2025.In this episode, Dr. Anthony Fauci joins A'ndre for an in-depth conversation about his decades-long career in public health and his experiences leading the U.S. response to some of the world's most pressing infectious disease challenges. Dr. Fauci reflects on his early work during the HIV/AIDS crisis, the evolution of treatments that saved millions of lives, and his role in launching PEPFAR, one of the most significant global health initiatives in history. He  discusses his leadership at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), navigating crises such as Ebola, Zika, H1N1, anthrax, and COVID-19, while working alongside multiple U.S. presidents to shape national and global health policies.Beyond his career in government, Dr. Fauci shares his thoughts on the intersection of public health and national security, the growing challenges of vaccine skepticism and misinformation, and the vital role of institutions like the NIH and CDC in protecting public health. He also highlights the major health threats that remain overlooked in mainstream discourse. Now a professor at Georgetown University, Dr. Fauci reflects on his transition to academia and the importance of training the next generation of medical leaders in an era of evolving global health challenges.You can purchase his recent memoir, On Call, here.

3. oktobrī VEF Kultūras pilī gaidāma pirmizrāde Franča Lehāra operetei "Džudita", kas pilnība Latvijā tiek iestudēta pirmoreiz. Iestudējumu veido starptautiska komanda -  režisors Gernots Kranners un scenogrāfs Hervigs Libovickis no audrijas, kostīmu māksliniece Aleksandra Brandnere no Vācijas, bet muzikālā vadība būs diriģenta Atvara Lakstīgalas ziņā.  Titullomā - Itālijā dzīvojošā Anta Jankovska un Pirmā Starptautiskā Marinas Zirdziņas vokālistu konkursa laureāte Anastasija Dogoņenko, Oktavio - Dainis Skutelis vai Andrejs Krutojs. Pār­ējās lomās: Jolanta Strikaite, Patrīcija Kozlovska, Emīls Kivlenieks, Nauris Indzeris, Inmārs Sikle, Henrijs Kozlovskis u. c. Sarunā Operetes teātra valdes priekšsēdētāju Agiju Ozoliņu-Kozlovsku un dziedātājiem Antu Jankovsku un Daini Skuteli vispirms noskaidrojam, kad radās ideja šo opereti uzvest Latvijā un doma par starptautiskas komandas iesaisti.  Abiem solistiem lūdzām raksturot savas lomas un savu pirmo sadarbību ar režisoru Gernotu Kranneru. Pievēršamies arī Lehāra mūzikas valodai, kas šajā darbā  ir stipri atšķirīga no citām viņa operetēm, runājam par 2. un 3. plāna varoņiem un VEF Kultūras pils Lielās zāles piemērotību. Noslēgumā - vēlējums klausītājiem, kam jāgatavojas. Agija Ozoliņa-Kozlovska: “Operetes “Džudita” Latvijas pirmiestudējums ir unikāls gan dēļ šī skatuves darba pasakaini skaistās muzikālās vērtības, gan dramatikā dziļuma, mākslinieciskās un vizuālās interpretācijas. Tas ir patiess stāsts par izvēlēm, kas maina dzīvi, stāsts ne tikai par mīlestību, nenovēršamām alkām pēc dzīves, brīvības un tuvības, pat mirklī, kad viss var momentā sabrukt. Operete ietver Lehāra spalvai raksturīgās brīnišķīgas, atmiņā paliekošas melodijas, kuras neiztrūkstoši ir pasaulslavenāko solistu koncertrepertuārā, kā piemēram, slavenā Džuditas ārija „Manas lūpas skurbina kā vīns” vai Oktavio ārija “Draugi, Šī dzīve ir bauda!”, kuras mūsu klausītāji varēja baudīt arī šī gada Starptautiskajā operetes festivālā. Operete “Džudita”to klausoties, pārņem tevi un piepilda dvēseli ar siltumu, gaismu, mīlestību”.

Orķestra "Sinfonietta Rīga" mūziķi diriģenta Normunda Šnē vadībā sākusi gatavošanos franču 20. gadsimta komponista un diriģenta Pjēra Bulēza simtgadei, kas sadarbībā ar Parīzē bāzēto "IRCAM" centru koncertzālē "Lielais Dzintars" norisināsies 27. septembrī. Koncerts iecerēts kā viens no vērienīgākajiem Liepājas kā 2027. gada Eiropas Kultūras galvaspilsētas ieskaņas notikumiem. Sarunā "Klasikas" studijā Normunds Šnē akcentē Pjēra Bulēza personības šķautnes un viņa radošo centienu virzienus, no komponista izaugot par izcilu diriģentu. Pieskaramies viņa veidotajam "IRCAM" mūzikas izpētes centram Parīzē un laikmetīgās mūzikas ansamblim Ensemble Intercontemporain, kā arī novitātēm, kas pilnā spektrā būs sadzirdamas abos izvēlētajos opusos, ko klausītāji varēs baudīt Bulēza simtgadei veltītajā koncertā Liepājas "Lielajā dzintarā".  "Reizēm man liekas, ka par Bulēzu mums ir mazliet nepareizs priekšstats," teic Normunds Šnē. "Daudziem liekas, ka viņš ir stingrs, akadēmisks, ar nenormāli augstām prasībām, kas dzird partitūrā katru noti. Tā ir, protams, bet īstenībā viņa lielākā stihija varētu būt izaicinājums, kaut kādā ziņā protests. Neaizmirsīsim, ka viņš savā jaunībā rīkoja koncertzālēs skaņas akcijas pret koncertiem un to programmām, ja tie viņam šķita pārāk akadēmiski. Vienā no intervijām, kurā viņam ļoti patika stāstīt par sevi, par savu mūziku, par saviem estētiskajiem uzskatiem, Bulēzs saka, ka mūzika ir jāattīra no uzfrizētības, no pārliecīgās kārtības, kaut gan var teikt, ka visas viņa interpretācijas ir ārkārtīgi pārdomātas un sakārtotas, tajā pašā laikā viņš kā komponists savā ziņā iet tam pretī. Viņam tiešām ir izaicinošs raksturs – parādiet, vai jūs to varat! Parādiet, cik ātri jūs to varat nospēlēt! Bieži tempi ir uz izpildāmības robežas un no mūziķiem tiek prasīt mazliet spēja pārkāpt sev pāri un sasniegt jaunus apvāršņus." * Pjērs Bulēzs ir 20. gadsimta laikmetīgās mūzikas revolucionārs, kurš satricināja tradīcijas un līdz ar domubiedriem ieviesa jaunus skaniskās domāšanas veidus. Kā komponists, diriģents un domātājs Bulēzs atvēra durvis sonorikai, elektroniskajai mūzikai un radīja nākotnes mūzikas institūciju IRCAM (Parīze), kas kļuvis par vienu no nozīmīgākajiem mūzikas izpētes institūtiem pasaulē. Spožs radītājs, nesaudzīgs diktators, varbūt ģēnijs.   Koncerta pirmajā daļā latviešu vijolniece Magdalēna Geka atskaņos Pjēra Bulēza skaņdarbu vijolei “Anthèmes II” (1997). Šajā darbā notiek nemitīga transformācija un jutīgs dialogs starp cilvēku un tehnoloģiju. Vijole savijas ar dzīvo elektroniku, kas reāllaikā transformē un atspoguļo instrumenta skaņu telpiski daudzdimensionālā ainavā. Programmas kulminācijā starptautiska solistu un skaņu meistaru komanda sadarbībā ar kamerorķestri “Sinfonietta Rīga” diriģenta Normundu Šnē vadībā atskaņos vienu no Bulēza iespaidīgākākajiem un skaistākajiem skaņdarbiem “Répons” (1980–1984), kurā izmantoti dažnedažādi IRCAM ieroči – elektroniski instrumenti, skaņu sintēze, datorprogrammas, kas ļauj atskaņošanas laikā elektroniski strādāt ar skaņu.  Atskaņojums prasa īpašu telpas iekārtojumu un skaņu aparatūru, ko nodrošinās IRCAM speciālisti sadarbībā ar “Lielā dzintara” kolēģiem. Visiespaidīgākā klausīšanās pieredze būšot sēdvietās partera zonā, kurā klausītājus ieskaus gan mūziķi, gan skaņu aparatūra.  

Over the last half century, diseases carried by insects — such as malaria and dengue, Zika and Lyme disease — have greatly increased. Sociologists Brent Kaup and Kelly Austin argue that the surge in vector-borne disease has been fueled by neoliberal capitalism, at times in unexpected ways, such as through loosened financial regulations governing mortgages and health insurance, as well as the gutting of health care. Brent Z. Kaup and Kelly F. Austin, The Pathogens of Finance: How Capitalism Breeds Vector-Borne Disease UC Press, 2025 The post Capitalism and Insect-Borne Diseases appeared first on KPFA.

Hey Poison Friends! I know I promised a lot for this one episode, including West Nile, Zika, EEE, and Malaria. The truth is, malaria is just a huge topic on its own and instead of keeping you all here for hours at one time, we are discussing malaria in all of its old and new world glory, so to speak. I will be adding an extra bonus on our Patreon later this week that will be free for all for those still interested in West Nile/Zika, so come check that out there. The parasite that causes malaria is actually older than us humans and since humans entered the scene, they have been our nemesis. Mosquitoes are known to be, historically, the deadliest animal simply because of how many people have died due to malaria that they have transmitted. We are discussing the history of humankind vs mosquito/malaria and how various people groups of different eras attempted to deal with the disease. From the ancient Egyptians, to the Greeks, the Romans, ancient China, and those living throughout the middle ages in Europe. Previous notions were that malaria came from "bad air" and, in fact, the name comes from the Italian for "bad air." The Miasma and Humors theories were still prevalent in medicine, of course, until the true means of infection were discovered in the late 1800s. Also, we cannot leave out its historic prevalence in Africa and its later history among the American colonies, the Native Americans (indigenous groups in North and South America), Oceania, and among and throughout the African slave trade. History has been a doozy, lets be honest, and mosquitoes (and malaria) have witnessed it all. They even had their effects on historical events like the Fall of Rome, the Revolutionary War, Civil War, WWII, etc. We are delving into the science as well, discussing who discovered its causal agent and who found how it was transmitted via mosquito. Needless to say, the war with malaria has been awful through the centuries and in Sub-Saharan Africa, it still is. The disease is also still prevalent in Southeast Asia and in South America. So what have been the historic methods of treatment and how far have we come in this fight? Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters!

Arvo Perts un viņa mūzika. Ar savām sajūtam un muzikālajiem atklājumiem par to Kultūras rondo dalās diriģents Kaspars Putniņš, kurš gatavo Perta „Grēku nožēlas kanonu”, un pianists Georgijs  Osokins.  Viņa mūziku vislabāk baudīt klātienē. Varbūt pat Arvo Perta centrā netālu no Tallinas mežā. Mūsdienu mūzikas ģēnijs, minimālists, igauņu komponists Arvo Perts izgājis cauri gan klusēšanas gadiem, gan emigrācijai no padomju okupētās Igaunijas, gan atgriešanos Igaunijā. Viņam šoruden 90. dzimšanas diena, bet mūziķi svin viņa gadu, ne vienu dienu. Bet, ja nav iespējams Perta mūziku klausīties klātienē, tad Latvijas Radio 3 Klasikas arhīvā ir atrodams koncerts Svētā Pētera baznīcā, bet Arvo Perta dzimšanas dienā – 11. septembrī „Klasikā” skanēs ieraksts no Arvo Perta centra, kur šovakar, 5. Septembrī, notiek pianista Georgija Osokina solokoncerts ‘For Arvo”. Arvo Perta mūzikas koncerti skan arī Latvijā. Rīgas Doms aicina uz šī pasaulslavenā igauņu komponista mūzikai veltītiem koncertiem 5. un 12. septembrī plkst. 19.00, kuros piedalīsies ērģelnieces Ligita Sneibe un Diāna Jaunzeme-Portnaja, kā arī baritons Rihards Millers. Savukārt 11. un 12. septembrī kultūras telpā "Hanzas perons" gaidāms kamermūzikas notikums "Arvo", kurā skanēs igauņu komponista Arvo Perta kamermūzika mākslinieces Monikas Korpas veidotajā telpā. Savukārt Latvijas Radio kora koncerts "Grēku nožēlas kanons" (Kanon pokajanen), veltīts Arvo Perta jubilejai, skanēs 8. novembrī Rēzeknes koncertzālē "Gors".

Saruna ar saksonfonistu un komponistu Tomu Rudzinski par projekta "ABYSS" koncertiem Lēdurgā un Rīgā, par topošo albumu un tuvo mācību gadu, kas arī Tomam nesīs jaunus izaicinājumus.  Liene Jakovļeva: Ar prieku Klasikas studijā sveicinu ciemiņu – džeza mūziķis, saksofonistu Tomu Rudzinski. Ar lielāmgrūtībām esam atraduši laiciņu arī sarunai. Lasu, ka arī mūziķiem ir izdevies rast iespēju trim koncertiem, bet runāsim gan par to, han par augusta beigu un septembra sākuma koncertiem. Vai šī vasara tev ir tāda aizņemtāka nekā citas? Jā, ir tā, ka es jau kādu laiku, pēdējos trīs gadus, esmu arī pasniedzējs, tā kā vasara man brīvdienas nozīmē ļoti nosacīti. Tajā pašā laikā bija laba iespēja rakstīt jaunu mūziku, tā ka šī vasara bijusi patiešām piesātināta ar jaunas mūzikas radīšanu. Pau pavisam, pavisam drīz plānojam projektu, kurš man ir ļoti dārgs, kuru daudz esam spēlējuši gan Vācijā, un šoreiz spēlējuši gan Berlīnē, kur es dzīvoju līdz 2022. gadam. Esam daudz muzicējuši, esam daudz spēlējuši un esam arī ierakstījuši albumu, kurš tika godināts kā viens no tik labiem, ka par to dabūjām "Zelta mikrofonu" pirms diviem gadiem. Tā ka būs prieks turpināt ar to pašu projektu un ir radīta jauna mūzika, man liekas pat dziļāka, interesantāka un dzīvajā izpildījumā mēs beigās dzirdēsim, kā tas skan, bet man liekas, ka būs patiešām ļoti smuks albums, kuru ierakstīsim un man būs prieks šo mūziku pirmo reizi prezentēt gan Rīgā, gan ārpus tās. Albums būs arī rokās turams. Jā, man tomēr patīk tās fiziskās kopijas, tāpēc ka tajā brīdī, kad tu skaties albumu, tev viņš vislabāk paliek prātā, tu viņu uzver ne tikai audiāli, bet arī tā, ka to patausti un palasi, varbūt tur iekšā ir kaut kas pierakstīts un arī kaut kādas pārdomas. Tā ka man patīk tie fiziskie formāti. Vismaz vinilu noteikti gribētos diska formāts – jāskatās, kāds būs pieprasījums, jo mūsdienās daudzi teic, ka viss kaut kas vēl var mainīties. Tā kā faktiski plānojam fiziskas kopijas un plānojam albuma izdošanu nākamgad ap rudeni, un mēs arī pašreiz strādājam ar manu komandu. ir ir neliela komanda: strādājam pie nākamā gada un plānojam festivālus un dažādus koncertus Eiropā, un tad jau ka arī tāda pamatīga albuma prezentācija būs jātaisa Latvijā, tāpēc ka Latvijā jau vienmēr ir prieks spēlēt un vienmēr ir prieks satikt atbalstītājus un draugus. Bet vispār mums jāpasaka, ka šis ir tas projekts ar nosaukumu "Abbys". Vai tu vari arī mazliet poētiski iezīmēt nosaukuma rašanās cēloni? Un arī galu galā turpinājumu, ja jau ir šis turpinājums? "Abbys" tieši tulkojot no angļu valodas, nozīmē – bezdibenis, un bezdibenis – tieši tā iemesla dēļ, ka tam nav robežu. Šī projekta sakarā mēģinu izpētīt dažādus emocionālos slāņus visā tā pilnajā spektrā un saprast arī kaut kādas tās iespējamās gradācijas, kas mums ir pieejamas. Mēģinu izpētīt dažādus prāta stāvokļus, kādos mēs varam būt, arī dažādu emociju gammu, teiksim tā. Jau pie pirmā projekta sāku pētīt šo tēmu, kas man likās interesanta. Un kā tas varonis tiek veidots? kas ir tie labie paradumi un loģiskās izvēles labu stāstu izveidē, un tad, pētot šo, arī loģiski, ka tam varonim ir dažādas emocijas un dažādi notikumi, kuriem viņš iet cauri, un katrs varonis kā tēls rodas, un tur arī ir tas bezdibenis vienā brīdī, kur tam varonim šķiet, ka sabrūk, un viņš sāk meklēt sevi no jauna. Tas kaut kādā ziņā ir Abesas projekts kā tāds. Viņš patiešām ir par to sevis meklēšanu. It īpaši tāpēc, ka sākumā man šis lauks bija jāizpēta un tur ir daudz dažādi slāņi. Tā kā es arī kaut kādā ziņā esmu varonis šajā projektā, un es mēģinu izpētīt, kādas ir tās iespējamās emocionālās gammas.  Bet vai šīs gammas ir ļoti mainījušās kopš iepriekšējās reizes līdz šim? Ļoti! Ļoti. Cilvēks jau vispār var būt tā, kardināli nemaina, bet laiku pa laikam mainās apstākļi, kuros viņš dzīvo. Ir lietas, kas likušas pamanīīt. Tā ka transformācija tomēr notiek, bet kaut kādas traumas jau, protams, ir arī tādas, kādvs visi piedzīvojam – lielākus un mazākus pārdzīvojumus. Un tad tā transformācija noteikti ir notikusi. Un ir lietas, kuras pamainīt ir ļoti grūti.  Albumam ir arī nosaukums, kas redzams publiski. Nēē, nosaukuma gan mums pagaidām. Bet tam vajadzētu tapt. Tā pagaidām vienkārši saucam šo albumu. Bet programmatiskā daļa ir diezgan skaidra veidota. Pētu mazliet par to, ka būs civilizācijas noriets, un ziedu laikus drīzāk nepiedzīvosim.  Šis kolektīvs ir jūsu pulsiņš un kolektīvais ceļojums. Mani interesē, kā cilvēki, kā kolektīvs, kā viņi ceļo, kā transformējās, un kādas ir iezīmes šādā kopīgā ceļojumā. Šoreiz kolektīvs būs citādāks. Mazliet padomāju par civilizācijām, par to, kur mēs tagad esam, kā mums iet kā kolektīvam, un tur es mazliet papētu iespējamo krāsu gammu tieši šādā aspektā. Nu jā, kolektīvs var būt visa pasaule, viss milzīgais cilvēku kopums. Un kolektīvs var būt jūsu pulciņš un jūsu kodoliņš. Vai tas ir mainījies? Jā, tas ir gan mazliet mainījies, tāpēc ka arī dzīve ievieš kaut kādas savas korekcijas. Taču dzīvē ar laiku, spēlējot, sadarbojoties ar dažādiem mūziķiem, atrodam savus cilvēkus. Un es neticu, ka tie cilvēki, ar kuriem spēlēju Berlīnē, nebija mani cilvēki. Viņi noteikti bija mani cilvēki. No visādām pusēm braukuši! Starptautiski ar Kristi, kura ir vokāliste, neesam uzstājušies. Bet par pārējiem milzīgs prieks, ka mēs varam spēlēt un ierakstīties tieši šādā sastāvā. Kenedalu Kirtenu no Dānijas tie visi ir primāri mani draugi, viņi ir katrs par sevi izcili mūziķi, bet primāri viņi ir mani draugi, un man ir vienkārši prieks tikties ar draugiem un spēlēt kopā mūziku. Tas ir īstenībā liels, liels prieks, kad tā var būt, kad nodarbojamies ar mūziku ne tikai kā darbu, bet tam arī ir sociālais aspekts, kur mēs arī patiešām priecājamies. Spēlēsim ar Matiasu Matiasu Fišeru, dāņu bundzinieku, kurš ir kopā Ar Kenedālu. Matiass ir audzēknis Kenetam, kurš ir psniedzējs šajā universitātē. Matīss pats pasniedz Alburgas Universtiātē, bet viņi kā komada ir tik labi saspēljušies, ka tā ir viena no tādām lietā, par kuru man vairs nav jāutrucas... Vairāk un plašāk - ierakstā

“What Were They Doing In St. Louis” has NewsNation's Natasha Zouves revealing the frightening details about the federal government performing experiments on the citizens of St. Louis. This harkens back to the DDT spraying following WW2, SoCal Medfly spraying in the 80s and more recently, spraying to eradicate mosquitos carrying West Nile and Zika viruses. The difference here? This was a largely non-white population…and no one told anyone what was being sprayed. See the feature on NewsNation Prime this Saturday and Sunday at 7pm CT.

Pirmdienas "Neatliekamās sarunas" viesi ir flautiste, Valsts kamerorķestra Sinfonietta Rīga direktore Anete Toča, obojists Māris Kuģis un čellists Kārlis Klotiņš, un runājam par gaidītu tradīciju kļuvušo Valsts kamerorķestra Sinfonietta Rīga koncertciklu "Vasaras vakara kamermūzika", kas Mākslas centrā "Zuzeum" šogad norisināsies augusta pilnbriedā – 27., 28., 29. un 30. augustā, kad vasaras krāšņums vēl piepilda dienas, bet vakaros gaisā jau virmo rudenīgu noskaņu vēsmas. Šīs nostalģijas pilnās gadalaiku metamorfozes tik atbilstīgas kamermuzicēšanas būtībai! Īpašu noskaņu šīgada ciklam piešķirs arī iespēja klātienē skatīt "Zuzeum" sarūpēto ietekmīgā austriešu tēlnieka Ervīna Vurma iespaidīgo personālizstādi.  Šogad orķestra spilgtās personības kamermūziķu ampluā atklāsies četros atšķirīgos koncertvakaros, kurus kuplinās arīdzan saistošie Oresta Silabrieža ievadvārdi. Baroka skaņumākslas pārlaicīgā dzīvesgudrība tajos sabalsosies ar mūsdienu jaunrades nevaldāmo enerģiju, un emocionāli nospriegota delartiska melodrāma – ar vien klasicismam piemītoša spožuma niansēto spēku. Sarunā ar Ingu Žilinsku orķestra direktore Anete Toča akcentē pirmo – orķestra ikdienas repertuāram netipiskāko koncertu Passacaglia della Vita, kas risināsies 27. augustā un būs veltīts baroka laikam: tajā skanēs baroka laika darbi balsīm un baroka instrumentiem, ko atskaņos flautiste Vita Rozēna-Gaļicka, vijolniece Agnese Kanniņa, čelliste Māra Botmane, klavesīniste Ieva Saliete un divi dziedātāji – Dārta Liepiņa un Ansis Bētiņš. Tikām par programmu "Rītausmas vilki", kas risināsies festivāla otrajā vakarā – 28. augustā, vairāk stāsta Sinfonietta Rīga stīgu kvarteta čellists Kārlis Klotiņš. Tā būs mūzika, kas tapusi pēdējo sešu gadu laikā, pie tam trīs no koncerta četriem skaņdarbiem būs latviešu komponistu darbu pirmatskaņojumi! Proti, līdzās šoruden prestižajā Jeila universitātē ASV studijas uzsākušā talanta Aleksandara Avrameca opusam, kurā īpaša uzmanība veltīta vēja fenomena radošai izpētei, skanēs arī teātra pasaules smalkākās nianses pārzinošā Edgara Mākena jaundarbs, kam iedvesma smelta mūsu pašu lepnuma Pētera Vaska žanra virsotnēs. Ritmiskas enerģijas caurstrāvots savukārt solās būt citkārt ar sitaminstrumentu spēli asociētā Ernesta Mediņa jaunākais veikums.   Trešajā vakarā jeb 29. augustā līdzās mūzikai skanēs diskusija: tā papildinās Arnolda Šēnberga leģendāro melodrāmu "Mēness Pjero". Kopā ar Sinfonietta Rīga mūziķiem to izdzīvos pasaules slavas priekšvakarā esošais soprāns Katrīna Paula Felsberga. Bet festivāla izskaņā – 30. augustā – neparastāki kvineti un seksteti pūšaminstumentiem un klavierēm. Programmā "Mūžzaļais akācijas koks" līdzās Vīnes klasiķa Volfganga Amadeja Mocarta koncertiskuma caurstrāvotajam Klavieru kvintetam, kuru pats ģēnijs uzskatījis par vienu no saviem labākajiem skaņdarbiem, skanēs ceturtdaļgadsimtu pēc tā tapušais vācu romantisma lielmeistara Kārļa Marijas Vēbera virtuoza azartiskuma un saistoša melodiskuma pilnais Klarnetes kvintets. Savukārt pirms apaļa gadsimta komponētais čehu meistara Leoša Janāčeka pūšaminstrumetu sekstets "Jaunība" uzmanību saista ar tautiskiem ritmiem un gaišu nostalģiju, gaumīgu humora dzirskti un atmiņā iegulstošiem melodiskiem motīviem.

Bei der Mückenpopulation im Kanton Basel-Stadt sind keine Tropenviren feststellbar. Das Kantonale Laboratorium hat bei einer Untersuchung keine Dengue-, Chikungunya-, Zika- oder West-Nil-Viren gefunden, wie es am Mittwoch mitteilte.

The Environmental Health Division within the Ministry of Health, Wellness and Elderly Affairs recently held a vector roadshow in the community of Choiseul as part of the Vector Awareness Campaign. Residents of the community were engaged with educational messages, practical demonstrations and prevention tips which will play a great part in reducing the spread of vector-borne diseases such as Dengue, Chikunguna, Zika and Leptospirosis. In the coming weeks, the division will also host other vector awareness activities such as drum covering workshops, vector summer camp and much more.

Wednesday August 20th is World Mosquito Day - and it may seem strange to set aside a day for an insect which accounts for around a million deaths a year. Nearly 700 million people contract mosquito-borne illnesses every year. The mosquitoes act as vectors, carrying bacteria, viruses, and parasites that cause illness in humans. Malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, Zika virus, West Nile virus, and Japanese encephalitis are some of the most prominent diseases spread by mosquitoes. Things have improved, however - according to one survey, nearly half the world population was at significant risk from malaria in the 19th century with a 10% mortality among those infected. Today, it's feared global warming could potentially lead to a wider spread of mosquito-borne diseases due to increased mosquito populations and geographic range. Professor Beth McGraw is the head of biology at Penn State University in the US - she admits having a special day for such a killer seems odd at first glance.

BEST OF TSTSHOW 1: In 2008 the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation financed Jichi Medical University in Japan to develop “a mosquito that can produce and secrete a malaria vaccine protein.” The initiative was aimed at creating a “flying syringe, to deliver protective vaccine via saliva.” In 2010 they gave money to UK-based biotech company Oxitec to develop genetically modified mosquitoes that could be lethal to carriers of dengue, zika, and yellow fever. Science Magazine published a report that year on this Japanese research and discussed what they called “flying vaccinators.” In 2015 the people of Florida, set to be the Oxitec testing ground, signed a petition against such open-air lab trials. In 2021 the trial proceeded regardless and in April 2022 Nature published a report on the results which found that although mosquitoes died in large numbers there was no reduction in disease spread or need for pesticides, which often cause the very symptoms of the diseases. A few days ago a mosquito-malaria-vaccine trial was carried out in Washington State. Of 14 participants, 7 were diagnosed with malaria leading researchers to declare their mosquito-vaccine was 50% effective. However, they made no mention of how the other half of the group could be exposed to ‘malaria' and yet not develop the disease with its vague ‘symptom complex' list. There is no question why such a malaria vaccine should be tested in the U.S. where cases rarely top 2,000 and where death rarely reaches double digits. Meanwhile, Africa is home to 95% of cases and 96% of deaths, while India is home to most of the world's polio. It is likely these ‘disease' are caused by environment, as demonstrated by official WHO data, rather than tiny invisible particles. While focus has been on the mosquito, the NIH and B&MGF have also been researching a needle-less vaccine. Such research goes back to Spain in 1999 where researchers were able to spread vaccine-induced antibodies to non-vaccinated rabbits via vaccinated rabbits. All was done in natural interaction without needle, misquotes, or any other tool. SHOW 2: Malaria is supposedly on the rise in the United States, where seven cases between Florida and Texas have been reported in the last few weeks. The CDC issued a public health alert as a result and the media collectively is spreading the terror of malaria with graphs, charts, stories, and symptoms. The strange thing is that malaria is always present, particularly in those two states, where in 2012 cases were 102 in Texas and 59 in Florida. Over the years those numbers went up and down, peaking in 2019 and then dropping significantly in 2020. This is why the media can claim cases are on the rise even if they are below the previous decade peak. From NPR to the New Scientist there are, of course, solutions to this terrible outbreak that isn't much of an outbreak: vaccines and genetically modified mosquitoes that could produce antibodies against malaria parasite. However, these same genetically modified insects have been in development since 2008 and were released in Florida after 2015. They were created with money from the B&MGF: “a mosquito that can produce and secrete a malaria vaccine protein.” But what if gm-mosquitoes are another alternative lab-leak theory? Malaria's symptoms are themselves invariably described in the same way that heat stroke symptoms are: headaches, fever, muscle aches, nausea, etc. Any mosquito issue, genetically modified or otherwise, can of course be treated with new drugs and chemicals, like the Pyriproxyfen that caused Microcephaly which was blamed on zika and mosquitos. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

In this episode of Speaking of Mol Bio, Aistė Serapinaite, an experienced R&D scientist, shares her insights into the world of 1-Step RT-PCR—a method that simplifies RNA analysis by combining reverse transcription and PCR amplification in a single reaction. She explains how traditional RNA workflows once lengthy, multi-step processes were prone to errors and contamination, and how 1-Step RT-PCR has transformed this landscape with speed, efficiency, and fewer handling steps.Listeners learn about the technical workings of 1-Step RT-PCR, including the importance of primer design, RNA quality, and essential controls to ensure reliable results. Aistė highlights the Invitrogen SuperScript IV UniPrime One-Step RT-PCR System, emphasizing features like universal annealing temperatures and high sensitivity, capable of detecting even trace levels of RNA.The episode also explores diverse applications, from gene expression studies and cancer biomarker detection to monitoring viral pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2 and Zika virus. While acknowledging the limitations of 1-Step RT-PCR—like the inability to archive cDNA for future assays—Aistė affirms its role as a fast, robust, and eco-friendly solution for high-throughput molecular biology labs. Whether you're new to molecular workflows or an experienced researcher, this episode offers valuable tips and tools to optimize your RNA experiments.Helpful resource links mentioned in this episode:See how one-step RT-PCR is used for amplicon-based viral genome sequencingView a video on the differences between one-step and two-step RT-PCRAccess the Oligo Perfect Primer Designer toolOrder or check out the brochure for Invitrogen SuperScript IV UniPrime One-Step RT-PCR SystemOrder Invitrogen ezDNase Enzyme Subscribe to get future episodes as they drop and if you like what you're hearing we hope you'll share a review or recommend the series to a colleague.  Visit the Invitrogen School of Molecular Biology to access helpful molecular biology resources and educational content, and please share this resource with anyone you know working in molecular biology.

We've all gotten frustrated after squashing the tenth mosquito ruining a beautiful summer evening — especially after days of relentless itching. Mosquitoes are a global nuisance. In tropical regions, they're more than just annoying: they can transmit serious diseases like malaria, dengue fever, and Zika virus. But despite all the efforts, these tiny insects continue to thrive — and buzz in our ears all summer long. But why do mosquitoes bite us? And why does it itch so much? And by the way… why don't we just get rid of mosquitoes altogether? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

In the Season one finale of our show, hosts Dr. Vivian Vega and Dr. Jackie Sherbuk reflect on the evolving landscape of infectious diseases and public health. Yet rather than linger on setbacks, they look ahead, posing the critical question: “What are the future pandemic threats?”To explore what transforms a simple pathogen into a global threat, they examine three key characteristics: transmission, virulence, and available countermeasures.Transmission, it turns out, must strike a delicate balance. A virus must spread efficiently—fast enough to infect large populations, but not so aggressively that it incapacitates or kills its host before passing to the next person. Similarly, a pathogen that is too virulent may burn out quickly, unable to spread widely before its hosts succumb. As for countermeasures, their availability and effectiveness vary. Influenza, for instance, can be treated with antivirals, while diseases like Nipah virus remain without effective therapies.At the time of this recording, H5N1 avian influenza stands out as a pressing concern. Dr. Vega reveals a startling fact: domestic cats may serve as an unexpected intermediary host, offering a new pathway for H5N1 to bridge the gap to humans. It's a reminder of how creatively and unpredictably pathogens can bypass traditional barriers.Dr. Sherbuk turns to Ebola as a striking example of how sheer virulence can catapult a disease to global attention. Past outbreaks in Africa overwhelmed health systems, exploiting cultural practices like burial rituals to fuel its spread. Even the limited number of U.S. cases during the 2014 outbreak stirred widespread public fear, driven by the virus's high mortality rate abroad.Not all dangerous pathogens are highly lethal. Some, like Zika virus, pose serious risks in specific populations—such as fetal abnormalities in pregnant women. Others, like HTLV-1, may cause chronic illnesses like leukemia and lymphoma.While many pathogens naturally evolve to become less lethal—thereby enhancing their chances of transmission—some mutate unpredictably, becoming more dangerous. This is the ongoing concern with influenza: a seemingly mild strain could shift into something far deadlier.The importance of countermeasures cannot be overstated. Yet in the aftermath of COVID-19, global readiness has been undermined by pandemic fatigue and the politicization of public health. Mistrust in vaccines, fractured health policy, and diminished international cooperation all threaten our capacity to respond to the next crisis.But what if the next pandemic comes from a direction we didn't anticipate?Scientists have a name for this uncertainty: “Disease X.” The World Health Organization coined the term as a placeholder for the unknown. COVID-19 was once Disease X—until it had a name. The next one could emerge from zoonotic spillovers like HIV or Nipah, climate change, laboratory accidents, or even bioterrorism.Whatever its origin, our best defense lies in robust surveillance, scientific agility, and global collaboration. Because the question isn't if Disease X will come—but whether we'll be ready when it does.Dr Vega would like to thank her friend Job Meiller for his musical contribution to our segment breaks. Thank you Job!Thanks also to Dr. Ana Velez, our artistic contributor, for her painting, "The Multivirus Pandemic Explosion," used in our episode thumbnail.

C dans l'air du 28 juin 2025 - Canicule: des logements "boulloires thermiques" - Une canicule historique se met en place sur la France. Quatorze départements sont en vigilance orange ce samedi dans le sud de la France, avant une extension vers le nord du pays. Cinquante-trois départements seront placés demain en vigilance orange, de l'Île-de-France à l'arc méditerranéen, et de la Vendée au Doubs, a indiqué Météo-France, qui s'attend à ce que les températures atteignent 34 à 38 °C dès aujourd'hui dans les départements concernés par la vigilance orange, et qu'elles approchent "ponctuellement les 40 °C près de la Méditerranée". Ces fortes chaleurs vont durer au moins jusqu'à mardi, alertent les prévisionnistes, qui anticipent des nuits "très désagréables", lors desquelles le mercure ne devrait pas descendre en dessous de 20 degrés.En cause : un "dôme de chaleur", un puissant anticyclone formant actuellement un couvercle sur la région sud de l'Europe, qui piège l'air chaud et empêche les perturbations de circuler. Le phénomène augmente considérablement les risques d'incendies. En Grèce, l'île de Chios a été ravagée par les flammes, et plusieurs villages balnéaires à l'est d'Athènes ont dû être évacués.En France, autorités locales, pompiers et préfectures multiplient les alertes et rappels de précaution. Le numéro vert canicule (0 800 06 66 66), destiné à informer le public et à protéger les plus vulnérables, a été réactivé.Face à cette situation, la Fondation pour le logement des défavorisés (ex-Fondation Abbé Pierre) alerte sur les "bouilloires thermiques", ces logements mal isolés devenus invivables sous la chaleur. Ils représenteraient 35 % des habitations en France. En Île-de-France, 3,7 millions de personnes, soit 31 % de la population, résident dans des îlots de chaleur urbains. Conséquence : la mortalité augmente lors des périodes de canicule, comme en juillet 2022, quand la région avait enregistré une surmortalité de 21 %. Selon la Fondation pour le logement des défavorisés (FPLD), 5 000 décès sont imputables à la chaleur rien que pour l'année 2024, et la grande majorité à des lieux d'habitation.Une proposition de loi transpartisane, présentée par des députés Ensemble pour la République, écologistes, socialistes et La France insoumise, doit être déposée dans les prochains jours pour lutter contre ce fléau.Parallèlement, dans de nombreux territoires, des dispositifs sont déployés pour informer et lutter contre la prolifération du moustique-tigre, qui colonise de plus en plus de départements et peut transmettre la dengue, le virus Zika ou le chikungunya… Des maladies qui, jusqu'alors, ne pouvaient pas être attrapées sous nos latitudes. Ainsi, en 2024, 83 personnes ont été contaminées par la dengue dans l'Hexagone sans même avoir voyagé à l'étranger.LES EXPERTS :- Nicolas BERROD - Journaliste service Futurs, santé-médecine et climat - Le Parisien-Aujourd'hui en France- Stéphanie DURAFFOURD - Porte-parole d'Assurland.com- Amélie MOUGEY - Directrice de la rédaction - Reporterre- Gaël MUSQUET - Spécialiste de la prévention des catastrophes naturelles

Em sessão do Congresso Nacional nesta terça-feira, 17, parlamentares votaram e derrubaram 12 vetos do presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT). Na prática, isso faz com que os itens excluídos pelo presidente sejam recuperadas e passem a ter força de lei. Entre os vetos com itens derrubados, estão o que negava indenização para crianças com microcefalia, vítimas do Zika vírus, cujo projeto foi vetado integralmente por Lula. Outro veto derrubado pelos congressistas havia barrado a criação da Taxa de Avaliação e de Registro para agrotóxicos. "Foi uma derrota assustadora, o Governo está perdido e ilhado em meio à oposição no Congresso. E a gente não vê o apoio, cadê a base aliada, o próprio PT e a esquerda? Estão todos abandonando o barco do governo Lula. São vetos também contra a população porque custam caríssimo. Ontem foi um dia dramático para o País e há uma passividade da sociedade em conter essa escalada do Congresso, que só pensa nele próprio. Tem mais 30 vetos que o Congresso deixou na gaveta para continuar pressionando - agora o Legislativo também deixa o Governo em banho-maria", diz Cantanhêde.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How To Kick the Snooze Button Habit:Waking up several times interrupts and fragments sleep, which means you'll cycle back and forth between light, non restorative sleep and being awake, which isn't restful.It can leave you feeling tired and groggy when you finally get out of bed.It reinforces bad sleep habitsOn top of not feeling rested, alert and at your best, the sleep expert points out that consistently not getting enough sleep can raise the risk of weight gain, cardiovascular disorders, metabolic disorders and even dementia.Fortunately, you can break the sleep-snooze cycle by:Making sure you're getting enough sleep to feel truly rested, which is between seven and eight hours a night for most folks.Sticking to a consistent sleep schedule, which Auckley notes is easier if you time to rise to when your internal body clock starts to wake you up.In the morning, try to resist hitting snooze and get up as soon as your alarm goes off.Getting morning light exposure as soon as possible when you wake up, which helps keep your internal clock in sync and improves alertness.Have a positive morning ritual to look forward to, whether it's enjoying freshly made coffee on your porch or catching up on sports scores.Things You Are Still Wasting Your Money On:ATM FeesIn 2025, paying ATM fees is almost a fool's errand. With so many online banks offering free ATM withdrawals and brick-and-mortar banks offering a large network of free ATMs or ATM fee reimbursement, paying several dollars a month is seemingly avoidable. Simply put, there's no reason to waste money on fees just to access your own cash so even if it takes planning ahead, make sure you omit this expense.Bottled WaterShockingly, people continue to spend money on bottled water, even given both the financial and environmental downfalls. If you don't trust your tap water, even the cost of installing a filter or having one in your fridge can make it worth your money in the long run. Stop paying for something you can essentially get for free and invest in a quality reusable water bottle for when you're on the go.Brand-Name MedicationsUnless you're specifically advised by your doctor, opting for brand-name medications over their generic counterparts is a pointless expenditure. Generic drugs have the same active ingredients and undergo the same quality control as their branded counterparts. Switching to generics can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars annually without compromising on health.Cable TV SubscriptionsThe world has moved on from traditional cable television, but many are still holding onto it — along with its hefty bill. Streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+ offer customizable viewing options for a fraction of the price and even bundling options. If you're still paying for a bloated cable package, it's time to cut the cord and switch to more budget-friendly entertainment options.Extended WarrantiesRetailers love to upsell extended warranties, but the truth is, they're seldom worth it. Most products are built to last for at least the length of their original warranty, and by the time they break, chances are you'd be looking to upgrade anyway. Instead of shelling out for extended warranties, set aside a small emergency fund for when things really go wrong.Fast FashionCheap, trendy clothing may seem like a good deal, but fast fashion is a money pit. These clothes are usually poorly made and fall apart after just a few wears, forcing you to constantly replenish your wardrobe in a never-ending cycle for your closet and nearest landfill. Instead, invest in quality, timeless pieces that last longer. You'll not only save money but also reduce your environmental footprint.Premium Gas for Non-Luxury CarsUnless your car specifically requires premium gasoline, you're throwing money away by filling up with it, especially when gas prices are already so high. Modern engines are designed to run efficiently on regular unleaded gas, and using premium won't give you any added benefits in performance. Stick to regular gas and watch your fuel expenses drop in what you pay at the pump.Overpriced Online Shopping on AmazonName-brand phone chargers, headphones, and other items can cost up to three times as much on Amazon when compared to other retailers or the product's own website. Check reviews before you add something to your cart as many will let you know if it's worth the cost. Don't be afraid to shop around, as varying sticker prices could shock you.Unused Gym MembershipsIn 2025, no matter your fitness resolutions, there's no reason to pay for a gym membership you're not using. With the explosion of online workout platforms, free YouTube fitness channels, and affordable apps, staying in shape no longer requires an expensive gym pass, particularly if you don't go regularly. If you're still paying for a membership you rarely use, it's time to cancel and explore the world of free digital fitness.What ER Doctors Bring On Vacation:Anti-nausea medication - “Always pack Zofran, just in case,” said Dr. Cedric Dark, associate professor of emergency medicine at Baylor College of Medicine. “The feeling of nausea and vomiting is one of the most hated things you could ever imagine and there's nothing over-the-counter that is that helpful.” Zofran is only available by prescription, but it dissolves under your tongue, so it works even when you can't really keep anything down.A bug zapper - Dr. Dark says standalone mosquito traps or a mosquito zapper racquet like the one he uses are must-haves for traveling somewhere tropical, where the insects can carry serious diseases like West Nile virus, Zika virus and dengue fever.Tweezers - They're a fix for the far more simple, but common problem of splinters, and that's why tweezers are a travel essential for Dr. Joy Crook, associate professor of clinical emergency medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.Compression socks - The CDC warns that traveling for more than four hours by air, car or bus raises the risk of developing blood clots, but wearing compression socks can help lower that risk. That's why they're a go-to for Dr. Erin Muckey, associate professor of emergency medicine at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School.A portable charger - Dr. Eric Adkins, an emergency medicine physician at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, points out that you can't call for help or look up where the nearest pharmacy or hospital is with a dead phone battery, so he packs a portable charger.A carbon monoxide detector - Dr. Crook says this is a recent addition to her travel bag, since several stories of travelers dying from carbon monoxide poisoning have happened this year alone.Melatonin - Not sleeping well can weaken the immune system, which can make you more likely to get sick, but melatonin supplements can help “reset your internal clock,” according to Adkins, so you can snooze.Second Date Update: Dalia and Reggie go to the Mountain Winery to see Chris Isaak. She loved every minute. He has disappeared...was it her dancing?

The Americas are in danger of losing their measles elimination status as the disease spreads due to under vaccination. Also on the show, a study finds that continuous glucose monitors may be overestimating blood sugar levels in healthy adults. And it's been ten years since Brazil experienced and epidemic of microcephaly due to the Zika virus. What have we learned in that time? Presenter: Claudia Hammond Producer: Margaret Sessa-Hawkins

America Out Loud PULSE with Dr. Randall Bock – The flames of fear were fanned by global institutions. WHO-aligned physicians issued warnings that Zika could be devastating for future generations, urging countries to consider birth moratoria. Women were told to delay pregnancy—indefinitely—until a vaccine was developed. That vaccine never materialized because there was no pandemic to fight...

This week we discuss vectors in a hotter world.   Vector-borne diseases, which are transmitted by hematophagous arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, and sandflies, pose a significant burden on global public health. These diseases disproportionately affect populations in tropical and subtropical regions, where environmental conditions favor the survival and proliferation of vectors. Given that vectors are ectothermic organisms, their life cycles, reproduction, survival rates, and geographic distribution are heavily influenced by climate variables such as temperature, rainfall, and humidity. Consequently, changes in climate patterns can have profound effects on the transmission dynamics of vector-borne diseases, altering their geographic spread and intensity. Rising global temperatures have led to the expansion of vector habitats into previously unsuitable regions, including temperate zones. Warmer climates accelerate the development of many vectors and pathogens, reducing the extrinsic incubation period of viruses such as dengue, Zika, and chikungunya. Additionally, increased temperatures can extend the breeding season of mosquitoes like Aedes aegypti and Anopheles species, enhancing their capacity to transmit diseases such as malaria. Conversely, extreme heat events may reduce vector survival in some regions, leading to localized declines in transmission. ​Changes in precipitation patterns also play a crucial role in shaping vector distribution. Heavy rainfall events can create new breeding sites for mosquitoes by increasing the availability of stagnant water, while drought conditions may drive vectors closer to human settlements in search of water sources. In particular, shifts in rainfall patterns have been linked to outbreaks of malaria, dengue, and West Nile virus in various parts of the world. Increased humidity can further facilitate the survival of certain pathogens within vectors, enhancing their ability to transmit infections. Beyond climate variables, other anthropogenic factors contribute to the spread of vector-borne diseases. Land use changes, such as deforestation and urbanization, have disrupted natural ecosystems, bringing vectors and humans into closer contact. For example, deforestation in the Amazon has been associated with increased malaria transmission due to the creation of new breeding sites for Anopheles mosquitoes. Similarly, expanding urban populations with inadequate water management systems provide ideal conditions for the proliferation of Aedes mosquitoes, driving the rise in dengue and chikungunya cases. Globalization and human mobility further compound the issue by facilitating the movement of infected individuals and vectors across borders. Increased travel and trade have contributed to the introduction and establishment of vector-borne diseases in regions where they were previously rare. For instance, the spread of Aedes albopictus, a competent vector for dengue and chikungunya, has been linked to international trade in used tires and lucky bamboo plants, which serve as breeding grounds during transport. The multifaceted relationship between climate change and vector-borne diseases presents a challenge for public health interventions. While climate factors influence vector dynamics, their impact is often modulated by socio-economic conditions, infrastructure, and public health responses. To mitigate the growing threat of vector-borne diseases, an integrated approach is necessary—combining climate adaptation strategies, vector control measures, surveillance programs, and community engagement. Recent research underscores the importance of predictive modeling to anticipate outbreaks and inform public health policies. Advances in remote sensing, artificial intelligence, and climate modeling are enabling researchers to identify high-risk areas and implement targeted interventions. Strengthening early warning systems and investing in sustainable vector control strategies, such as genetically modified mosquitoes and Wolbachia-infected mosquito programs, offer promising avenues for reducing disease transmission. In conclusion, while climate change is reshaping the global landscape of vector-borne diseases, its effects are complex and intertwined with other environmental and societal factors. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for developing proactive strategies to mitigate the risks associated with the redistribution of vectors and the spread of diseases worldwide. By integrating climate science, epidemiology, and public health measures, we can better prepare for emerging threats and protect vulnerable populations from the growing impact of vector-borne diseases.  

This week, we present two stories about science intersecting with love -- in both fortunate and unfortunate ways.Part 1: Nothing can come between Lindzi Wessel and her new boyfriend, David -- except maybe herpes.Part 2: Marine biologist Skylar Bayer and first mate Thom Young find love on a boat.Lindzi Wessel is a science and health journalist who recently graduated from the UC Santa Cruz Science Communication Program. Before turning her sights on journalism, she studied the mind, obtaining a bachelor's degree in psychology and master's in neuroscience from UC Davis. She has covered topics ranging from wildfire management to Zika transmission for outlets including The San Jose Mercury News, Alzforum, and STAT. For the moment, she resides in DC where she is writing for Science. Lindzi is a traveler who enjoys spending time outdoors and in the presence of dogs, whenever possible. Thom and Skylar Young-Bayer live in Juneau, Alaska with their four rescue dogs, Millie, Echo, Zoey, and Atlas, and their cat Mistletoe. Thom Young-Bayer has worked in various careers including as a marine biologist, a tall ship sailor, an organic farmer, and an EMT. Skylar Young-Bayer has a Ph.D. in Marine Biology and is on the storyboard of Mudrooms, a local storytelling show in Juneau. Learn more about your ad choices.

A mid-air collision between a passenger plane and a military helicopter over Washington DC leaves sixty-seven people dead. So how could the paths of the two aircraft cross so disastrously? We hear from a former air accident investigator.Also in the programme: chaotic scenes as seven hostages - including five Thai nationals - are released from Gaza; plus, how Zika virus makes humans more attractive to mosquitoes. And could a fifty dollar painting bought in a garage sale really be a Van Gogh?(IMAGE: Emergency personnel work at the site of the crash after a Black Hawk helicopter and an American Eagle flight 5342 approaching Reagan Washington National Airport collided and crashed in the Potomac River, outside Washington, U.S., January 30, 2025 / CREDIT: Reuters/ Kevin Lamarque)
