Ukraine
achieving its goal of ending the war depends much more on its
allies than on itself. As
this article reminds us, in 2024, a critical year for
European, US and Russian politics, Ukraine will still need
arms, as well as economic and political support to keep it
going.
The
question of wolf protection is not a black-and-white issue.
Now that the European Commission has proposed a change in the
international status of the species, from “strictly protected”
to “protected”, it might be a good time to reflect on the work
of Norwegian
environmental philosopher Arne Næss.
We
recently celebrated the centenary of Gustave Eiffel, the
architect best known for the tower named after him. From its
inauguration, the Eiffel Tower had a special
place in silent films. But this is not the only affair
between art and technology that we feature. As we published a
few months ago, AI
has helped us find new meaning to the Epic of
Gilgamesh.
You
may choose to see in the New Year with a fine wine. But if you
find that good red wine gives you a headache, don’t worry – science
has an explanation for it. And, alas, if you want to skip
wine, we’ll
always have champagne.
All
the best for the rest of the holidays. See you in
2024. |
