Awarded “for her tireless fight to restore democracy and defend human rights in Venezuela, and for her unwavering commitment to a peaceful transition from dictatorship to freedom.” — The Norwegian Nobel Committee

🇻🇪 Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado wins the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize

Machado has faced years of persecution and death threats under President Nicolás Maduro’s regime, yet remained in Venezuela, continuing to lead a nonviolent movement for democratic reform.

“When authoritarians seize power, courageous defenders of freedom remind the world that liberty is never to be taken for granted,” the Committee said.

Her decision to stay and fight, even in hiding, has inspired millions of Venezuelans and renewed global attention to the struggle for democracy in Latin America and the world.

Congratulations María Corina Machado well deserved 🙏🏻 👏🏻 🏆

The First phase of ceasefire deal to end war in Gaza was agreed Today by Israel and Hamas, each phase to last at least 42 days. Hamas said on Thursday it had agreed the proposal and confirmed the deal included an Israeli withdrawal from the enclave and a hostage-prisoner exchange.

The signing of the agreement is expected to take place on Thursday. The 20 hostages believed to be still alive in Gaza may be released as early as this weekend, with sources saying as many as 1,700 Palestinian prisoners could be freed from Israeli jails within 72 hours of the deal being signed.

Palestinians in Gaza reacted to the news with a mix of joy and disbelief. “Thank God for the ceasefire, the end of bloodshed and killing,” said Abdul Majeed abd Rabbo, in the southern city of Khan Younis. “I am not the only one happy, all of the Gaza Strip is happy, all the Arab people, all of the world is happy with the ceasefire and the end of bloodshed.” - Reported at The Guardian, 9/10/2025

Israel and Hamas have agreed to a pause in their devastating two-year war and the release of the remaining hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.

The 2025 Nobel prize in physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis for their work on showing how quantum particles can mysteriously tunnel through matter, a process that helped produce the superconducting quantum technology that forms the backbone of today’s quantum computers.

“I’m completely stunned,” Clarke told the Nobel committee upon hearing he had received the prize. “It had never occurred to me in any way that this might be the basis of a Nobel prize.”

Quantum particles have a variety of strange behaviours, such as their probabilistic nature and the fact that they can only have specific energy levels, rather than a continuum. This leads them to sometimes behave in unexpected ways, such as tunnelling through an apparently solid barrier. Such oddities were discovered by physicists like Erwin Schrödinger in the first decades after quantum mechanics began.

You will be forever missed Jane Goodall, RIP 🤍🤍✨

RIP to the legend known as Jane Goodall

Some facts about her you may not know:

· Goodall began her research in Gombe, Tanzania, without a university degree. She was a secretary who dreamed of working with animals. Her lack of academic training initially led some scientists to dismiss her work, but it later gave her a fresh perspective.

· The paleoanthropologist Louis Leakey chose her for the Gombe project specifically because she was untrained, believing she’d observe with “an open mind” instead of being constrained by scientific dogma.

·  In 1960, she saw a chimpanzee (David Greybeard) stripping twigs to fish for termites. At the time, “man the tool-maker” was considered a defining human trait. Her discovery forced scientists to redefine humanity’s uniqueness.

·  Instead of numbering them, as scientists did then, she gave chimpanzees names like David Greybeard, Flo, and Fifi. This was controversial but helped prove they had distinct personalities and emotions.

·  She was the first to record violent inter-group conflict among chimps, challenging the then-idealized image of them as “gentle vegetarians.”

·  She observed them hunting colobus monkeys, upending the belief that chimps were herbivores.

·  She became Dame Jane Goodall in 2004, one of Britain’s highest honors.

·  In 1991, she launched this youth program in Tanzania to inspire young people globally to engage in conservation and humanitarian efforts. It now operates in over 60 countries.

·  She spent around 300 days a year traveling, lecturing, and advocating for the environment, despite being in her 80s.
