"Volunteering is a great pathway to grow professionally and personally."
#OnceAUNVolunteer, @SaraFOlivella 🇪🇸 worked in post-conflict Timor-Leste and Cambodia, identifying what locals needed to restore everyday life.
Today, she is the Resident Representative of @UNDPIndonesia.
After 3+ years of war, people in Sudan are facing famine.
19.5 million people are experiencing high levels of acute food insecurity. 825,000 children under 5 are at risk of severe malnutrition.
@WFP is calling for more support to prevent further tragedy.

A clearly marked UN vehicle was damaged by two drone strikes while delivering supplies to civilians living in Ostriv, #Ukraine.
While the team managed to safely exit the location, this is not an isolated incident.

Forget killing cancer cells. South Korea just figured out how to talk them back into being normal.
Scientists at KAIST in Daejeon have done something the world has been chasing for decades.
They found a molecular switch that flips cancer cells back into healthy cells.
No chemo. No radiation. No destroying anything.
Just… reversal.
Professor Kwang-Hyun Cho and his team caught cancer in the act. That tiny window where a normal cell is on the edge of turning malignant but hasn't fully crossed over yet. They call it the "critical transition" — the same kind of jump that happens when water hits 100°C and becomes steam.
In that split-second window, the cell is unstable. Normal and cancerous at the same time.
And that's exactly where they hit the switch.
In colon cancer trials, they targeted three master genes — MYB, HDAC2, and FOXA2 — and the cancer cells didn't die.
They went back to being healthy intestinal cells. Like nothing ever happened.
The team built a digital twin of the gene network to map every move a cell makes on its way to becoming cancerous. Then they reverse-engineered the path home.
Their paper landed in Advanced Science, published by Wiley.
It's still early. Lab trials and mice. Human treatment is years away.
But the idea of curing cancer without killing a single cell is no longer science fiction.

⚠️ Microsoft Teams Vulnerability Allows Hackers to Perform Spoofing Attacks
Source: https://t.co/DtB6z8Ni05
A newly disclosed security vulnerability in Microsoft Teams could allow attackers to spoof local devices, raising concerns for enterprises and individual users who rely on the platform for daily communications.
The flaw exposes a critical weakness in how Microsoft Teams handles file and directory access, potentially allowing an attacker to manipulate or impersonate trusted elements within the application.
At its core, the vulnerability stems from files or directories in Microsoft Teams being accessible to external parties.

Without stronger investment in skills development, inequalities risk widening within & between countries.

More than 1,000 aid workers killed in three years. This is unacceptable—and an absolute failure.
Humanitarian law must be upheld.
Humanitarians must be protected.
Humanitarian work must continue.
Grateful to @MilkenInstitute for the conversation. Aid workers are #NotATarget.
Il ne faut pas confondre bienveillance amicale et dépendance relationnelle. Dans tous les cas, vers la fin, chacun se préfère.
Voilà pourquoi il ne faut jamais oublier qu’un café est toujours une bonne idée.
I am excited to introduce OpenGeoAgent, a powerful open-source multimodal AI agent for automated geospatial analysis and visualization!
It supports QGIS, Jupyter notebook, and Python scripting. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to automate GIS workflows using natural language, generate maps, analyze satellite data, and even run complex hydrological models.
You can even interact with the agent using voice commands (no typing needed).

L'accès à l'assainissement est essentiel, mais très inégalitaire.
Le Rapport mondial sur la mise en valeur des ressources en eau de l'ONU, coordonné par l'UNESCO au nom de ONU-Eau, souligne le besoin de systèmes d'eau et d'assainissement plus inclusifs et équitables.
