Good morning, Charlottesville.

Veterinarians advise Charlottesville pet owners to keep animals indoors during hot weather (if conditions are too warm for you, they are equally harsh on pets) to prevent heat-related illness.

Researchers at the UVA School of Medicine discovered a new cell organelle in human cells — a breakthrough that may lead to new treatments for Alzheimer’s.

She advises asking for help and taking short breaks to protect health.

Since Tuesday, five UVA women’s soccer players have trained at summer camps as they vie for spots on the 2026 World Cup qualifying squad—midfielder Ella Carter and goalkeeper Victoria Safradin are in Carson while attackers Addison Halpern, forward Sophia Bradley, and defender Jordyn Hardeman train in Fayetteville, Georgia.
