Fascination of Plants Day Success Story 2013 China Reportwd4u
On May 18th, popular science activities and an elementary-high school composition contest were held in Shanghai to celebrate International Fascination of Plants Day. Over the following two weeks, more than 20 organizations in China hosted lectures and exhibitions about botany. Topics included plants and the environment, biofuels, food nutrition, genetically modified plants, and food safety. On the same day in Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, over 100 middle school students participated in educational talks and a guided tour of the garden where they learned about plant and biological diversity.

Landbruks- og matminister Trygve Slagsvold Vedum er dagens høye beskytter i Norge. Han syntes dette var en svært lett ting å si ja til, siden plantene betyr så mye for oss på alle måter. Han er svært opptatt med Jordbruksforhandlingene akkurat nå, men sendte sitt gratulasjonsbrev og ønsker Campus Ås, Trondheim og Tromsø til lykke med dagen. Brevet kan du lese her:

Fascination of Plants Day 2015 was celebrated in Russia with great success, engaging over 1500 people across 10 cities and 48 events organized by 23 institutions including 8 high schools. Events included lectures, workshops, experiments, excursions and tree plantings for students to learn about the importance of plants. The week long celebration engaged students in learning about plant biodiversity and development in their local regions. Organizers were pleased with the enthusiasm of participants and look forward to expanding the initiative in future years.
This is an excellent motivational presentation profiling the Indians who have achieved great heights in their careers as CEOs and other positions, thus made difference to the Society where they live.
The document profiles 6 achievers:
1. Linus Torvalds, creator of the Linux kernel and winner of the Millennium Technology Prize.
2. M.C. Mary Kom, 5 time world boxing champion and India's only woman boxer to win an Olympic medal.
3. Shashi Tharoor, former UN official who served as Minister of State in India.
4. Steve Jobs, pioneering founder of Apple and visionary behind products like the iPod and iPhone.
5. Dr. Raghuram Rajan, economist who accurately predicted the 2008 financial crisis and currently serves as governor of the Reserve Bank of India.

The Department of Botany and Plant Biology at the University of Geneva held various events to celebrate Fascination of Plants Day 2015, including educational activities for school children and an evening debate for the public. During the morning, over 50 school children learned about plant evolution through an interactive game and observed plant collections. Students also acted as scientists investigating tomato domestication and extracting tomato DNA. The evening debate among experts addressed challenges for modern agriculture, alternatives to GMOs and pesticides, and new sustainable strategies. Around 100 people participated in the debate and subsequent poster session.

3rd International Fascination of Plants Day 2015 in Spain
The University of Pretoria held an open day in 2015 with a theme of "Fascinating Plants" hosted by the Department of Plant Science. Learners from various schools and their parents attended and were amazed by displays from different departments, including carnivorous plants like the Venus flytrap. Students were able to examine these plants under microscopes, opening their eyes to new wonders. Medicinal plant science exhibited new cosmetics and research using Venus flytraps for cancer treatment. Biotechnology explored the genes that allow certain carnivorous plants to digest insects, while plant ecology focused on the local distribution of these unusual plants.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
