One third of Americans have allergies, from seasonal discomfort caused by pollen to year-round reactions to pets or certain foods. @MSUNatSci researchers are studying the molecular structures of specific allergens to develop new treatments and better diagnoses. go.msu.edu/Zsk5

Ask the expert: how do you treat the cause of allergies, and not just the symptoms?

For the one in three Americans with allergies, being proactive is the name of the game — extra caution when trying new foods, avoiding certain furry friends and popping Zyrtec or Allegra every spring...

Blueberries were first cultivated commercially in Michigan in the 1920s after MSU professor Stanley Johnson set up test plots throughout the state. Today, Michigan’s blueberry industry contributes more than $529M in economic activity annually, and MSU helps every step of the way.

For many, even with experience, a job like this, can feel a little more than fantasy. For Lauren Grauer and Dana MacCallumMhor, it once did. Michigan State made it possible. “This is the coolest job in the world,” Dana says. “I never saw myself being lucky enough to do this." go.msu.edu/hQk5

These Spartans care for sea life at Michigan’s largest aquarium

From the Red Cedar River to a 120,000-gallon aquarium, alums Lauren Grauer and Dana MacCallumMhor turned a hands-on education at MSU into dream careers
