Today would have marked the 108th birthday of legendary physicist, science communicator and #NobelPrize laureate Richard Feynman.
Feynman was awarded the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on quantum electrodynamics, including the introduction of the Feynman diagram.
Europe’s video game industry is not just entertainment — it is culture, innovation and economic strength. After years of work, including the landmark report by our French MEP Laurence Farreng @laurencefarreng , the European Commission is finally preparing a dedicated EU strategy for the sector. With €26 billion in value and more than 100,000 jobs, Europe’s gaming ecosystem deserves support so its creators can keep producing stories played worldwide.
Today our Secretary General, Sandro Gozi, took part in the first General Assembly of Momentum in Malta. At a crucial political moment for Malta and for Europe, his message was clear: pro-European forces must be both ambitious in Brussels and deeply rooted locally.

The format is great, the hosts are super entertaining and an amazing level of research goes into each episode. I wish I had stumbled upon this sooner - many great lessons to be found in #history! Check out @TheRestHistory#podcast 👏

Social media platforms appear to all be doing a reaaaally lousy job and detecting bots/scammers. And when you file a report, they tell you it was found not to be breaching any policies...

2023 has been a very exciting year. That’s a big problem. The word “exciting” is the most misunderstood word in today’s English. When you meet someone new, it is common to say “I am so excited to meet you”. When you visit a new place, you say “I am excited to be here”. When you want to praise an idea you say “what an exciting idea”. Apparently, people think “excited” means happy, and excitement is always good for us. But excitement can sometimes be the opposite of happiness. Negative emotions like outrage and fear greatly excite people. When the body senses danger, the nerves flash emergency messages, the neurons fire rapidly, and the whole body is excited. In 2023 the entire world has been far too excited. Nowhere is the epidemic of excitement more evident than in politics. The world is flooded with exciting politicians who create exciting news. We desperately need more boring politicians. To flourish, humans certainly need to be excited sometimes – about people, places, and ideas – but we also need to wind down. Next time you meet someone, try saying “I am relaxed to meet you”. I hope 2024 will be a relaxing year.

When these people come knocking on our taxi window as we're stuck in traffic, we can only lock our doors and look away in shame. Shame for not helping everyone or even anyone. Back home we have it good, we have it real good...

My latest article on the MaltaToday. Beyond the politics of it, this is what commitment and dedication looks like; whether it is for academic pursuits, professional aspirations or a social cause. @ArnoldCassola
