Forum on AI in education
Under the patronage of His Excellency Dr. Mohammed bin Mubarak Juma, Minister of Education and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Bahrain Polytechnic, the institution held its Annual Teaching and Learning Conference (TL2025) at its Isa Town campus, focusing on the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) in education.
The conference brought together a distinguished group of academics, researchers, and experts from Bahrain and abroad, creating a platform for knowledge exchange and dialogue on the latest innovations and challenges in integrating AI into the educational landscape.

Bezos-backed methanetracking satellite lost in space
TDT | Wellington A satellite backed by billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has been lost in space while carrying out an important climate change mission, New Zealand officials said yesterday. Designed to measure greenhouse gas emissions with 'unprecedented resolution', the MethaneSAT space probe was also funded by Wellington and the USbased Environmental Defense Fund. Plagued with technical problems, the satellite recently stopped responding to its Earth-bound controllers. 'Clearly, this is a disappointing development,' said Andrew Johnson, a senior official at the New Zealand Space Agency. 'As those who work in the space sector know, space is inherently challenging, and every attempt -- successful or not -- pushes the boundaries of what we know and what we're capable of.'

Eggs en Provence: France's unique dinosaur egg trove
TDT | Aix-En-Provence At the foot of Sainte Victoire, the mountain in Provence immortalised by Impressionist painter Paul Cezanne, a palaeontologist brushes meticulously through a mound of red clay looking for fossils. These are not any old fossils, but 75-million-year-old dinosaur eggs. Little luck or skill is needed to find them: scientists believe that there are more dinosaur eggs here than at any other place on Earth. The area, closed to the public, is nicknamed "Eggs en Provence", due to its proximity to the southeastern city of Aix en Provence. "There's no other place like it," explained Thierry Tortosa, a palaeontologist and conservationist at the Sainte Victoire Nature Reserve. "You only need to look down to find fragments. We're literally walking on eggshells here." Around 1,000 eggs, some of them as big as 30 centimetres (12 inches) in diameter, have been found here in recent years in an area measuring less than a hectare -– a mere dot on a reserve that will span 280 hectares once it is doubled in size by 2026 to prevent pillaging. "We reckon we've got about one egg per square metre (11 square feet). So there are thousands, possibly millions, here," Tortosa told AFP. "Eggs" is not in the business of competing with other archaeological sites -– even though Tortosa finds the "world record" of 17,000 dinosaur eggs discovered in Heyuan, China, in 1996 vaguely amusing. "We're not looking to dig them up because we're in a nature reserve and we can't just alter the landscape. We wait until they're uncovered by erosion," he said. "Besides, we don't have enough space to store them all. We just take those that are of interest from a palaeontology point of view."

India's Shubhanshu Shukla working on experiment to power Gaganyaan Mission
TDT | agencies India's first astronaut on the International Space Station, Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla, is working on the space microalgae experiment sent by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Shux deployed sample bags and captured images of the algae strains. These tiny organisms could play a big role in the future of space exploration, offering a sustainable, nutrient-rich food source for long-duration missions. Microalgae are potentially useful organisms for future spaceflight that could be used as foods, fuel, or even in life support systems. In this experiment, three strains of microalgae will be grown, and the impact of microgravity on the growth, metabolism, and genetic activity will be investigated versus algae grown on the ground. The results could provide Isro with new options to develop the critically needed life support system for the Gaganyaan Mission, the Indian human spaceflight mission. The Axiom crew, meanwhile, also collected data for the Neuro Motion VR project, where astronauts don VR headsets and perform attention-based tasks while their brain activity is monitored using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). This research explores how microgravity affects cognitive and motor functions, which could provide valuable insight for future deep space missions. Mission Commander Peggy Whitson is working on the Cancer in LEO investigation by capturing imaging samples that could unlock new insights into how cancer behaves under the unique stressors of microgravity. She also turned her lens toward creativity, photographing student hardware, science experiments, and artwork for the Saudi Space Agency's Microgravity Challenge. Ahead of conducting the experiment, Shux spoke to Prime Minister Narendra Modi from the ISS and said that he was safe and doing fine aboard the Space Station, calling it a 'whole new experience'. He also said he was extremely glad to represent India in space. Shukla was launched on a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft from NASA's Kennedy Space Centre in Florida to the Space Station on Wednesday. The spacecraft completed a 28-hour journey before executing a flawless docking manoeuvre at the ISS's Harmony module. He is joined by mission commander Peggy Whitson of the US, and mission specialists Sawosz Uznanski of Poland and Tibor Kapu of Hungary. Shukla told PM Modi that he saw Earth as a complete planet with no borders visible and 'it is our home'.
