How do digital media and artificial intelligence influence the way we think about history? 🤖⌛

💡 This was one of the questions explored during the three-day ‘Memory, Media & Artificial Intelligence Workshop 2026’, organised by the AMU Faculty of History (Wydział Historii UAM)

👥 Students and employees from partner universities in the Epicur Alliance consortium, including the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, discussed historical memory, the role of social media and online platforms in shaping our perception of the past, and the potential applications of AI in historical research and teaching.

💻 The programme included lectures, project work, case studies and practical sessions using artificial intelligence tools.

The workshop was led by Prof. Wiktor Werner, Dr Dawid Gralik and Dr Adrian Trzoss from the Centre for Digital History at the Faculty of History.

Leaves provide clues to reconstructing the climate of thousands of years ago – AMU scientists are co-authors of a groundbreaking publication 🔎🍂

Prof. Piotr Kołaczek, Prof. Mariusz Lamentowicz, Prof. Katarzyna Marcisz and Dr Karolina Leszczyńska from the AMU Institute of Geoecology and Geoinformation (Instytut Geoekologii i Geoinformacji UAM), together with Prof. Jakub Niebieszczański and Dr Witold Szambelan from the Faculty of Archaeology at AMU (Wydział Archeologii UAM), are co-authors of an article published in Quaternary Science Reviews!

👀 Is it possible to reconstruct the climate from thousands of years ago based on the microscopic structure of leaves preserved in peat? The answer is yes.

🌱 An international research team has reconstructed the thermal conditions of the growing season in Central Europe, covering a significant portion of the last 11,500 years. To do so, they utilised subfossil leaves of the dwarf birch and plant pollen preserved in a 12-metre-deep profile of the Linje peat bog in northern Poland.

🌍 🌡️ The period around 2,600–2,400 years ago proved particularly intriguing, as both independent indicators pointed to a marked deterioration in growing-season temperature conditions. This change coincided with significant cultural transformations in what is now Poland, including the disappearance of many hillforts associated with the Lusatian culture and the development of the Pomeranian culture.

20 years ago, Pluto lost its planetary status! 🌌🟤

Today marks exactly twenty years since the decision that changed our understanding of the Solar System. On 24 August 2006, Pluto was stripped of its planetary status and reclassified into a new category: dwarf planets.

On this occasion, we reflect on the comments made by Prof. Agnieszka Kryszczyńska, Director of the AMU Astronomical Observatory Institute (Instytut Obserwatorium Astronomiczne, Wydział Fizyki i Astronomii, UAM), regarding this subject.

🪐 "This decision was linked to new observations of our Solar System, which had been conducted since the early 1990s. It turned out that Pluto is a member of a larger group of objects (known as trans-Neptunian objects) circulating the Sun in orbits similar to Pluto’s, in the outer regions of our Solar System,” she explains.

🚀 "The new definition of a planet (also adopted on 24 August 2006) assumes that a planet orbiting the Sun is nearly spherical in shape and must clear its neighbourhood of similar objects. Pluto did not meet this criterion, partly because its mass was too small, and was therefore reclassified. The International Astronomical Union also assigned it the number 134340 as a representative of the smaller bodies in the Solar System."

⚖️ "Although the decision taken in 2006 was not unanimous (237 votes in favour, 137 against, 30 abstentions), there is now no doubt that it was the right one," the researcher concludes.

Twenty years later, Pluto continues to fascinate. And even though it is no longer a planet, it remains one of the most extraordinary and intriguing objects on the outskirts of our Solar System. 💫

The continuation of the adventures from the missionary experience in Zambia! 🇿🇲

A group of students from the Academic Missiology Club, based at the AMU Faculty of Theology, spent a month engaged in a missionary experience, combining work, helping others, prayer and discovering the local community ❤️

🌱 The group helped with farming, prepared compost, harvested vegetables and seeds, and completed many other daily tasks.

🪁 At the Kasisi children’s home, spending time together was the most valuable part – playing, music, dancing and chatting. Meeting the children became perhaps the most memorable part of the whole trip.

✨ Zambia offers numerous opportunities to appreciate its beauty and rich cultural heritage. The team went on a safari, visited Victoria Falls, sailed down the Zambezi River, and explored Lusaka and historical sites linked to the Church in the country.

🤝 The participants became involved in the local communities. A unique moment was the Holy Mass combined with the baptism of six people – a celebration full of singing, dancing and joy.

Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. The group finally returned to Poland after a nearly 40-hour journey – bringing with them a treasure trove of memories and unforgettable experiences. ✈️

Thank you for this wonderful missionary story, and we look forward to the next one! 😊

Friendship knows no species boundaries. Scientists have discovered unique relationships between primates and other animals 🤝🐒

🔹 An international research team, which included Prof. Małgorzata Arlet from the AMU Institute of Human Biology and Evolution (Faculty of Biology, Wydział Biologii UAM), analysed several hundred documented cases of primates interacting with members of other animal species. The findings have just been published in the journal Primates.

🔹 The analysis covered 427 observations involving 88 primate species. It turned out that monkeys not only coexist with other animals, but often form relationships with a distinctly social nature. The behaviours observed included joint play, grooming, cuddling, carrying and even caring for members of other species.

The study sheds new light on the evolutionary roots of social behaviour. According to the researchers, traits such as curiosity, tolerance, care and the need to form bonds may be much older than previously thought.
