Valley fever, or coccidioidomycosis, is caused by a fungus that thrives in moist soils and becomes airborne during drought. Its spores are easily inhaled, leading to infection. Climate change is creating the perfect conditions for it in the Western United States, with increasing heavy rains followed by prolonged drought. A new study by UC Davis researchers shows that dogs, who are also susceptible to the disease, can help us understand its spread. Subscribe to continue reading this article.

California produces 99% of the nation’s pistachios, generating nearly $3 billion in economic value in the state. But pistachios have been slightly understudied in part because of the lack of a high-quality map of their DNA. UC Davis researchers have now generated the most comprehensive genome sequence of the pistachio, allowing plant breeders to create better — perhaps more nutritious — varieties.

Both dogs and humans get valley fever, a fungal disease that's spreading with climate change. New @ucdavisvetmed @ucdavis study finds dogs could help us predict human spread of the disease. https://t.co/n9cQQiVQAf
Type "New Hampshire Square Tree" into Google & its #ArtificialIntelligence says square trees are real and grow in NH. In fact it was an April Fool's joke story I did from long ago at @nhpr w/@JackatSPNHF Listen to "real" story here. https://t.co/AVEW8FXNut https://t.co/lxlji5bkTr
In a nutty development, UC Davis scientists have cracked the genetic code of the pistachio. It could provide consumers a more nutritious, sustainable nut. https://t.co/oGIQdqf5kD
