Donard Geci fell into studying spiders by accident, but now he can’t imagine his life without them. He’s one of the only entomologists in the Balkans, a hotspot for spiders as well as plenty of other flora and fauna. It’s difficult, he says, “but you have many things to do here because many groups are unexplored.”Trapdoor spiders are masterful architects, and there is so much work to do in order to better understand their relationships to one another. Fortunately, Donard isn’t deterred at all and wants to encourage even more scientists to study the amazing quantity of life found in...

There was a lot of news in NASA’s Ignition event last week, and I break down what actually matters: not whether Jared Isaacman’s timelines are realistic, but how this new roadmap strips away architectural dependencies and forces the real bottlenecks into the open. I talk through Gateway’s cancellation, the possible path away from SLS and ICPS, what this means for lunar landers and international partners, and why NASA’s new philosophy feels so different from the past. This episode of Main Engine Cut Off is brought to you by 32 executive producers—Steve, Joel, Kris, Josh from Impulse, ...

Dr. Baumgard opens by explaining the origin of the “immune suppression” theory in transition cows. Research dating back to the late 1970s showed slower neutrophil infiltration into the mammary gland in early lactation, which led to the assumption that cows are immunosuppressed after calving. This idea has shaped industry thinking for more than 40 years. (10:43) He outlines two primary mechanisms traditionally blamed for immune suppression: the cortisol surge at calving, which may impair neutrophil migration, and the metabolic changes of early lactation—high NEFAs, ketones, and low ...

This week, Irish author Kerri ní Dochartaigh offers an evocation on how we might hold the duality of lightness and darkness in a world increasingly divided. When fear and loss are pervasive, how do we engage with the life that remains? Can we see experiences of grief as invitations into feeling our relationality with all living things? Tracing how a childhood in Derry in the northwest of Ireland taught her to tend the delicate, often invisible threads that bind us to each other, she brings us into the Celtic celebration of Bealtaine, which marks the transition towards the brightness of summer...

It was supposed to be a time for family to come together—honoring a life lost far too soon and trying to make sense of something that didn’t feel real. In the days that followed, grief hung over everything. Moments blurred together, conversations felt distant, and nothing quite felt the way it should.Then something happened outside the church.At first, it seemed like an ordinary encounter—a stranger stepping into a moment of quiet. But what was said, and what happened next, didn’t fit into anything she had experienced before.And even now, decades later, she still isn’t sure if what ...

La rotación de cultivos es esencial para cumplir con la PAC y mantener la sostenibilidad agraria. Ante la baja rentabilidad de cultivos tradicionales en tierra calma, los agricultores deben buscar alternativas que permitan no perder subvenciones. El barbecho, aunque permitido, tiene limitaciones temporales y debe justificarse dentro de prácticas sostenibles. Para evitar dejar la tierra improductiva, destacan cultivos de bajo coste como leguminosas (veza, yeros), que mejoran el suelo fijando nitrógeno. También son útiles los cultivos cubierta, que protegen el terreno sin necesidad de ...
