An eye-level shot captures a white, multi-pane window in a rough-textured, gray pebble-dashed stone wall. To the left, vibrant green ivy climbs, contrasting with the reddish-pink ivy to the right. The window’s top half reflects a gold hue, hinting at nearby buildings, while the lower panes are gold-colored, with a glimpse of a wall in the background.

The curious tale of how The Castle of Dromore became a folk song. It certainly wasn't a folk song when it began life in the late 19th century, but it definitely became one over the years, explains Sydney Rime @maynoothuniversity.ie @researchireland.ie www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2...

Researchers at MU have developed a rapid and cost-effective method to screen mushrooms & other fungi for ergothioneine (EGT), a naturally occurring antioxidant that has attracted growing scientific interest in its potential relevance to health & nutrition.

A close-up shot of small, delicate orange mushrooms growing from a mossy, decaying tree trunk in a forest. The mushrooms have translucent, bell-shaped caps illuminated by soft sunlight filtering from behind, highlighting their thin gills. Their slender stems transition from orange near the cap to a dark reddish-brown at the base. Green, velvety moss covers the rough bark of the tree, while the background is softly blurred with a bokeh effect of green and white light.

An eye-level shot captures a dry, arid savanna landscape under a bright blue sky filled with fluffy white clouds. The ground is dry, dusty brown earth scattered with sparse yellowing grass and fallen leaves. Several small, sparsely leafed trees and bare-branched shrubs with some yellowish-brown foliage are spread across the midground. To the left, a termite mound stands near the base of one of the trees. The bright sky dominates the upper half of the frame, contrasting with the dry, muted tones of the savanna below.

How we talk about food and eating matters significantly as it shapes our relationship with what we eat and influences our values and emotions, writes Chun Chen, John and Pat Hume Doctoral Scholarship awardee at the @smllc.bsky.social

An older woman with dark hair and glasses sits alone at a white table, resting her chin on her hands with a solemn, pensive expression. She wears a black long-sleeve top. In front of her on the table are two dark green coffee cups with gold rims on matching saucers, and two plates each containing a pastry, arranged as if waiting for someone. The background features a minimalist white room with a white shelving unit holding books and decorative items.
