In this week's bulletin, we report on the discovery of 9,000-year-old remains on the island of Lilla Karlsö and the astronomical peak of the Perseid meteor shower visible across the globe. Additionally, we highlight a new specialized program at the Red Cross University College supporting international nurses with foreign degrees.
