World Cup fever is on, but don’t let the late-night matches turn your drive into a risky one—tired drivers are just as dangerous as drunk ones. With games stretching into the early hours, especially after Scotland’s opener, the AA is sounding the alarm: drowsy driving kills focus and judgment. Don’t rely on blasting the radio or cracking a window to stay awake—pull over if you’re sleepy. A quick nap? That’s your real lifeline. Enjoy the games, but never sacrifice safety for the thrill of the match.

A Ukrainian-born neuroscientist turned academic ally, Dr. Sergiy Sylantyev, is bridging battlefields and labs as part of a bold UK-Ukraine science initiative. Once a soldier on Ukraine’s front lines, he now teaches at his alma mater, Odesa National University, embodying resilience through education. Selected by Ukraine’s President’s Fund, he’s one of ten British scientists required to be physically present — a risky but deeply symbolic commitment. With three times more applicants than expected, the program reveals a powerful grassroots academic solidarity. Beyond aid, this collaboration is seen as vital for Ukraine’s long-term European integration, fueling innovation and human capital. As the first wave succeeds, plans are already underway for a second call — proving that science, not just weapons, is shaping Ukraine’s future.
