Our Hearts Are With the People of Colombia A Message from Ambassador Guy Djoken, Executive Director of the UNESCO Center for Peace
There are moments when the distance between countries suddenly feels very small. This is one of them. We've been watching the news from Colombia with a heavy heart, like so many people around the world. Damaged buildings. Frightened families. Rescue crews digging through rubble with their bare hands in places the equipment can't reach yet, while relatives stand off to the side waiting for a name to be called. It's hard to look at those images and not think about the people behind them.

Dr. Anthony Mazzella Wants You to Stop Arguing With Narcissists. Here's What He Does Instead.
A patient sits across from Dr. Anthony Mazzella , certain about what happened, certain about who was at fault, certain about everything except the one thing that brought them into the room. Most therapists, trained to spot grandiosity and entitlement, would gently push back. Correct the record. Offer a reframe. Dr. Mazzella does almost the opposite. He gets curious. He asks what that moment actually felt like from the inside. And in that small refusal to fight over the facts, something starts to loosen.

How Leaders Build Trust When Making Unpopular Business Decisions
Trust Is Built Before the Decision, Not During It The foundation of trust during difficult decisions is laid in ordinary moments, not in the announcement itself. Adam J. Greenberg, Founder and CEO of NorthShore Care Supply, explains that teams who trust their leaders through hard decisions are almost never the ones who were simply told to. Trust is built in smaller moments when a leader was honest about something they didn't have to be, when they acknowledged uncertainty instead of performing confidence, and when they made a call that cost them something personally rather than distributing the cost downward. Unpopular decisions don't break team trust. Unexplained ones do.

Choosing Medical Annotation Partners with Clinical Expertise for Image and Video Data
The spotlight in building medical artificial intelligence systems is shifting away from algorithms and training data. The real differentiator is no longer the algorithm but the quality of the annotated data behind it. It’s just as important to consider who is labeling the data as it is to consider the data itself. High-quality training data from clinical experts is a true differentiator in tasks such as tumor vs. fracture detection, organ segmentation, and even surgical workflow.
