The Eco Weekender: The Pig at Bridge Place, Kent

The Pig at Bridge Place is a Grade II-listed English heritage mansion with 10-acre grounds in the Nailbourne Valley, a Potting Shed spa and the cutest patio in the kitchen garden where the best possible flatbreads are baked in the pizza oven. With 31 individually styled rooms and stand-alone suites and huts, it’s hard to imagine this cute, country house retreat segued from Jacobean manor to nightclub.

How We Chose the TIME100 Most Influential People in Health 2024

In 2018, we worked with Bill Gates on a special issue of TIME dedicated to the power of optimism. Gates’ view, shared by many of the issue’s contributors, was that people are wired to focus on when things go wrong and when they don’t work. Sometimes this attention distracts us from the moments when progress is being made. Journalists fall prey to this phenomenon as much as anyone else.As we put together this issue, I was reminded of the conversations with Gates that led to that project. With guidance from Dr. David Agus and Arianna Huffington, our team of health correspondents and editors, led by Emma Barker and Mandy Oaklander, spent months consulting sources and experts around the world to select the 100 individuals who are most influential in the world of health right now. The result is...

Is Dua Lipa the most political popstar we have right now?

Robin Deselow, author of When the Music's Over: The Story of Political Pop, says that while smaller artists are vocal about important causes more often, most big stars tend to avoid politics, far more than they used to. “In the 1980s, which was the most political era for popstars, you knew who your audience were and they were going to agree with you” he says.

A Wild Orangutan Used a Medicinal Plant to Treat a Wound

(WASHINGTON) — An orangutan appeared to treat a wound with medicine from a tropical plant— the latest example of how some animals attempt to soothe their own ills with remedies found in the wild, scientists reported Thursday.Scientists observed Rakus pluck and chew up leaves of a medicinal plant used by people throughout Southeast Asia to treat pain and inflammation. The adult male orangutan then used his fingers to apply the plant juices to an injury on the right cheek. Afterward, he pressed the chewed plant to cover the open wound like a makeshift bandage, according to a new study in Scientific Reports.Previous research has documented several species of great apes foraging for medicines in forests to heal themselves, but scientists hadn't yet seen an animal treat itself in this way.“This...

Texas Veterinarian Helped Crack the Mystery of Bird Flu in Cows
