I want to be clear from the outset. I’ve never been a car enthusiast. My driving history includes a hand-me-down Volvo with a hole in the floorboards and a series of aggressively practical vehicles, including a VW Golf and a Mazda SUV in which I hauled my family around for 12 years. Then I leased a BMW i4 electric car. What drew me to the i4? Unlike other electric vehicles, BMWs don’t look like something out of the Jetsons; I like that they’re understated cars that happen to be electric. I liked that they’re far less common than other EVs…

Challenges in attrition rates of nursing students remains at an all-time high – so how do we improve student recruitment and retention to help meet future NHS workforce goals? AbstractStudent nursing attrition rates are rising in the UK, prompting concern among government bodies, the profession, unions and the public. This trend coincides with persistent nursing shortages and declining application rates, despite national targets to increase nurse numbers, while the early departure of student nurses risks undermining efforts to address NHS workforce gaps. This article explores the complex factors contributing to attrition, including academic pressure, clinical placement stress, mental health challenges…

I grew up in San Francisco, where the weather hovers around 70°F (21°C) year-round. Moving to New York introduced me to a different rhythm: summers defined by cookouts, beach days, and people who won’t stop insisting that warm weather is better. Though I’m admittedly not a fan of the heat, I love summer and all the produce it brings. I’m still chasing the last of the season’s fruits and vegetables—cucumbers, zucchini, peaches, and eggplant—and cooking with them whenever I can.Similarly, our editors want to savor the last of summer’s bounty. This September, we’re looking forward to sheet-pan chicken with bell…

Missouri’s Ozark National Scenic Riverways was the first national park area in the U.S. specifically created to protect a river system, so it’s no surprise that its waterways—The Current and Jacks Fork Rivers—are something special. Spring-fed, cold, and clear, they attract paddlers, swimmers, and anglers from all over. But Blue Spring, tucked just off the Current River, somehow manages to outshine even the park’s most celebrated natural wonders. Not to be confused with the smaller Blue Spring on the Jacks Fork River, this is the one long revered for centuries. Indigenous peoples called it “Spring of the Summer Sky,” and…

We’re all familiar with the standard aesthetics of fall: amber-hued leaves, pumpkins, school bells, scarves, more pumpkins. But I’d argue that fall is really more of a feeling—something you recognize deep within your bones. Especially when it comes to the best fall movies you tend to want to rewatch every year, sometimes it’s hard to describe just what makes them feel so much like autumn. For example, why is Gilmore Girls, a show that takes place in every season (and not just in the revival, which was literally broken out by season), so heavily associated specifically with fall? It just…
