The President of Ukraine took part in the ceremony commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Allied landings in Normandy

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi and other world leaders are taking part in celebrations in France on Thursday, June 6, to mark the 80th anniversary of the Normandy landings, one of the most important Allied operations of World War II.

When the Allies captured several beachheads on France's Normandy coast on June 6, 1944, they could launch an offensive in Europe, squeeze German forces on the Western Front and open the way to Nazi Germany. France will commemorate the 80th anniversary of this event over three days, June 5-7. French President Emmanuel Macron is gathering world leaders on the Normandy coast on June 6. Not far from one of the landing pads in the American sector of Omaha Beach, in the city of Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer, memorial events will be held. The King of Great Britain Charles III, the President of the United States Joe Biden, the Chancellor of Germany Olaf Scholz and the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi were invited to the celebration.

During similar events marking the 70th anniversary of the Normandy landings in 2014, the so-called Normandy format was launched, this event takes place exactly ten years later. Through the mediation of Germany and France, Russia was unable to intervene in its war against Ukraine. For more than two years, Russia has been waging a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Official Paris did not invite Russia to the celebrations this year. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian president is expected to hold a series of important meetings on the sidelines of official events for the 80th anniversary of Normandy.

Currently, it is known that Zelensky will hold a bilateral meeting with Macron in France on June 7. At this meeting, Macron is expected to officially announce Paris' plans to host French instructors in Ukraine. In addition, during his meeting with French Defense Minister Sebastien Lecorne, Zelensky will visit the plant of the KNDS arms group near Paris, where artillery ammunition is manufactured for Ukraine. Volodymyr Zelenskyi and Joe Biden will also hold a meeting on the Normandy grounds, the White House confirmed. The US president combined his trip to Normandy with his first state visit to France, the main part of which will take place on June 8.

Ahead of multiple summits, including with G7 and NATO leaders, talks between Macron and Biden are likely to focus on Russia's war against Ukraine.

What microorganisms live under the nails?

One of the main ways to protect against harmful bacteria is hand washing. However, do you care about the cleanliness of your nails?We all know that hand washing is the most effective way to fight the spread of bacteria. Many countries have legislation that requires food service workers to adhere to hand hygiene standards. However, it is impossible to get rid of all bacteria, no matter how thoroughly we wash our hands. Doctors and nurses often wear gloves because complete sterility cannot be achieved. A hundred years ago, doctors realized that tests always found bacteria on their hands, even after repeated hand washing. However, the reason for this persistence was only discovered in the early 1970s. Researchers have found that covering your fingertips keeps your hands clean longer. Also, fingernails to be exact. These thin keratin plates contain a whole "bacterial zoo" underneath. Only in the late 1980s, researchers were able to find out who lives there. A study conducted by the Univers...

Why is forgetfulness actually beneficial?

In a new book, neuroscientist Charan Ranganath argues that false memories and lost memory are components of a flexible mind. David Robson asked why this was happening. In his book Why We Remember, neuroscientist Charan Ranganath says, Memory is much more than an archive of the past; it is the prism through which we see ourselves, others, and the world. Ranganath has been a professor of psychology at the University of California, Davis for the past three decades, researching the processes in the brain that are responsible for our ability to remember, remember, and forget. He claims that many people misperceive their memory. Its most important functions create the cognitive flexibility that has been vital to our survival, which is often the cause of its notable shortcomings. He got to talk to David Robson, a science writer, about his advanced understanding of the brain and the methods by which we can make better use of our imperfect minds.
