I first visited this kindergarten in late August — when it was covered in broken glass. It had been hit by Russian artillery. Nearly 3,000 schools in Ukraine have been damaged since the war started. I did a news story on @MorningEdition about it 🔊👇 npr.org/2022/09/01/112045713…

Spring is in full swing, as is allergy season. Doctors have a new tool in their arsenal to treat itchy eyes and runny noses: immunotherapy in the form of personalized allergy drops. npr.org/sections/health-shot…

More pollen, more allergies: Personalized exposure therapy treats symptoms
