According to new findings by scientists from Trinity College Dublin and Dublin City University (DCU), pesticides have been found in the nectar and pollen of flowers that were not targeted with the toxins, and this could be an extra, underestimated hazard for pollinators....

Regrettably, despite this knowledge, we have yet to fully acknowledge its consequences. A persistent tendency to segregate mental and physical health overlooks their interconnectivity—two facets of a single entity. The truth is that optimal health cannot exist without sound mental well-being, as stress contributes to a multitude of health concerns, from physical ailments such as heart disease, sleep disturbances, d...
