We know a lot about how to protect ourselves during the heat. We use sunscreen, wear appropriate clothing, monitor our sun exposure, and, most importantly, stay hydrated. Most plants need protection just like we do. They can’t move into the shade and grab a drink when the need arises. The good news is that we can choose plants that not only survive the Texas heat but also thrive here.

Avian flu wiped out tens of millions of egg-laying chickens in 2025, sending prices soaring. A UC Riverside scientist has been awarded a $1.8 million grant to develop a better tool to track the flu on poultry farms and help prevent future outbreaks. (Members of the Hai virology laboratory.

Research by vector biologist Tereza Magalhaes, Ph.D+., investigates the relationships between vectors like mosquitoes, the diseases they carry and factors that lead to outbreaks in human populations. Her goal is to better understand the conditions that fuel transmission to prevent outbreaks and protect public health. (Michael Miller/Texas A&M AgriLife)

2009 – The largest hoard of Anglo-Saxon gold ever discovered in Britain, consisting of more than 1,500 items, is found near the village of Hammerwich, near Lichfield, Staffordshire. The Staffordshire Hoard is the largest hoard of Anglo-Saxon gold and silver metalwork yet found. It consists of almost 4,600 items and metal fragments, amounting to a total of 11 lbs. of gold, 3 lbs. of silver and some 3,500 pieces of garnet cloisonné jewellery. It is described by the historian Cat Jarman as "possibly the finest collection of early medieval artefacts ever discovered." The hoard was most likely deposited between 650 and 675 CE, and contains artefacts probably manufactured during the 6th and 7th centuries. It was discovered in 2009 in a field near the village of Hammerwich, near Lichfield, in Staffordshire, England. The location was in the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Mercia at the time of the hoard's deposition. The hoard is of "radical" importance in Anglo-Saxon archaeology. The artefacts are nearly all martial in character and contain no objects specific to use by women. The average quality of the workmanship is extremely high and especially remarkable in view of the large number of individual objects, such as swords and a helmet, from which many of the fragments in the hoard came.
