First day of spring in Sweden – technically at least? 😝

Days are about to become longer than nights in the Northern Hemisphere. Spring equinox for the win! 😎

Coincidentally, today is also International Day of Happiness. In Sweden, we've experienced an exceptionally cold winter, so nothing makes us happier than looking forward to spring – and summer. 🙏☀️

An outdoor fika ☕, with social distancing of course, is hopefully around the corner!

Today is Women Physicians Day! 💡👩‍⚕️ On this occasion, we highlight these German women who were true pioneers in the history of medicine.

And today? Once a profession mainly dominated my men, more and more women successfully study medicine and work as physicians. In recent years, the quota of women who work in clinics has risen sharply - working time models for doctors in clinics are more women-friendly today and make it easier for them to pursue a career.

Greta Thunberg

”That we live in a post-truth society today, and that we don't care, that we have lost empathy. We have stopped caring for each other in a way. We have stopped thinking long-term and sustainable. And that's something that goes much deeper than just climate crisis deniers.”

”But I mean the climate crisis is not the only problem here. It is just a symptom of a larger crisis. Like the loss of biodiversity, acidification of the oceans, and loss of fertile soil, and so on. And these things will not just be solved by stopping our emissions of greenhouse gases. The earth is a very complex system. If you take one thing and put it out of balance then that will have an impact on things beyond our comprehension. And that goes for equality as well. Humans are part of nature, and if we are not doing well, then nature is not doing well, because we are nature.”

B-Reel Films will dedicate half of the film's revenues to my foundation and all of that will be donated to organizations and projects fighting for a sustainable world, defending nature and supporting people already facing the worst impacts of the climate- and ecological crisis.

Представление 3D-модели древней Пальмиры

20 августа 2020 года в Санкт-Петербурге была представлена завершенная 3D-модель древней Пальмиры, являющаяся самой точной и детальной цифровой моделью современного состояния памятника в мире, созданной Институтом истории материальной культуры Российской академии наук (ИИМК РАН).

Для создания трехмерной цифровой модели состояния памятника и фиксации полученных им повреждений в результате действий боевиков террористической группировки ИГИЛ (запрещена в России), в 2016 и 2019 годах Институтом истории материальной культуры Российской академии наук (ИИМК РАН) под руководством заместителя директора ИИМК РАН Натальи Соловьевой были проведены экспедиции, участие в которых принимали сотрудники Государственного Эрмитажа и военные топографы.

Фотофиксацией архитектурных остатков храма Бела с целью уточнения создаваемой ими трехмерной модели храма в 2019 году занимались сотрудники Архитектурной мастерской Максима Атаянца. Обеспечивали съёмку специалисты ГК «Беспилотные системы».

Камеральные работы по построению 3D-модели по данным экспедиций проведены сотрудниками ИИМК РАН и группой компаний Geoscan.

Деятельность двух экспедиций позволила получить высокоточные метрические трехмерные модели местности и расположенных на ней памятников архитектуры – храма Бэла, храма Баалшамина, триумфальной арки, колонны Зенобии, некрополей и Погребальной башни, лагеря Диоклетиана, крепости Фахр-Ад-Дина и Археологического музея Тадмора, а также документально зафиксировать все разрушения и повреждения. Съемки выявили многочисленные ямы грабительских раскопок и окопы.

В этот день не имеющая аналогов в мире 3D-модель древней Пальмиры была передана в Департамент древностей и музеев Сирийской Арабской Республике для возможности восстановления в будущем с помощью новых технологий.

Look Up: Our story with the stars

WITH FOREWORD BY APOLLO 11 ASTRONAUT MICHAEL COLLINS

It is truly the greatest honor of my professional life to share this cover with you @astromichaelcollins

I am beyond humble and grateful and cannot wait to share your story and your words.

Thank you for everything you have done to in advance humanity in space and where we are capable of going. Everything we do in space is owed to the achievements you and our first space explorers made.

It was looking up at the moon as a child which inspired my lifelong love of space. I never thought for one second I would one day share a book cover which such a giant of exploration. Here’s to outward bound. #LookUp

Please help the millions affected by the flooding in India and Bangladesh!
Countless people, particularly in the Global South, are already suffering the devastating impacts of the climate crisis.

Millions of people in South Asia have been severely affected by recent flooding, at a time when many had already lost so much from Covid-19 and Cyclone Amphan.

In India, more than 6.8 million people have been affected by recent severe monsoon floods. Meanwhile, close to one third of Bangladesh is already suffering flooding, with 2.8 million people affected. Although floods occur annually in these areas, the climate crisis is increasing their frequency and intensity, with current flooding among the worst in years.

This flooding has also come during a period of overlapping crises facing communities in India and Bangladesh. In March, Cyclone Amphan destroyed crops, infrastructure and more than 260,000 homes in both countries, while a Covid-19 lockdown has contributed to over a third of Bangladesh's population dropping under the poverty line.

My foundation will therefore donate €100.000 (from the prize money received from the Gulbenkian Prize for Humanity) to these NGOs - working tirelessly and in desperate need of funds for flood relief work in India and Bangladesh - BRAC, Goonj, Action Aid India and Action Aid Bangladesh.

International media are largely ignoring this devastation, but we must do everything possible to directly support those suffering on the ground, who are in desperate need of resources. I am incredibly privileged to be in a position to be able to donate such sums of money through my foundation, and we are supporting these organisations to make sure it reaches communities affected by the flooding as soon as possible. If you are able, please consider donating to the relief effort. Visit their websites for details. Even the smallest amount can help.

“I woke up early in the morning and sat in the park. It was a beautiful day and the flowers were blooming."

In 1951 Charles Townes sat on a park bench and came up with the theory that would lead to the laser. He was born on this day in 1915.
