Gene therapy is a promising medical approach to treat diseases by targeting their genetic causes. To find out more about how it works and what its limitations are, we spoke to expert Alberto Auricchio.

Gene-edited babies: The science and ethics of altering DNA before birth | Euronews Tech Talks
In the summer of 2026, two academic studies revived the debate on embryo gene editing, a technique that consists of manipulating the DNA of a human embryo for reasons ranging from better understanding human development to preventing disease and disabilities. How safe is this practice? Will there soon be gene-edited babies? Is it even ethically correct to modify an embryo?

http://www.euronews.com/ In a part of southern Kenya where malnutrition is rife, Stanley is an active three year old boy.
Along with hundreds of other Kenyan youngsters, he is part of a research project aimed at fighting child malnutrition in Africa. The findings so far have surprised researchers.
School dinners at a school in Kibwezi include an unusual experiment.
Scientists are looking at two varieties of cassava, a major source of carbohydrate in Africa.
Researchers hope that adding micronutrients to local staple foodstuffs will help fight malnutrition.
Elise Talsma is a nutritionist from Wageningen University in the Netherlands. “In Sub-Saharan Africa, 70 per cent of the intake comes from staple food like cassava, or maize, or millet, or sorghum,” she told euronews, “but those staple foods don’t contain a lot of micronutrients. So if we can increase the micronutrient content of this food, that could have a great impact.”
Yellow cassava is richer in vitamin A than the white variety, but there is less of it about.
Scientists want to know if including yellow cassava in the diet regularly would improve the health of malnourished children.
So researchers pitched in for some science-based cooking.
The cook at Thange School, Regina Mbula, told us: “We peel and boil white and yellow cassava separately for around 45 minutes. We then add vegetable oil and mash to get yellow and white cassava puree.”
Both types of cassava mash are then served to different groups of young volunteers. For some, it is their only proper meal of the day.
An assistant at the school, Ann Mueni Mutuku, explained: “Each child gets the same amount of food every day, during the study, depending on their ages. It is between 375 and 400 grams for the younger ones and 425 to 450 grams for the older children.”
Yellow cassava has higher levels of betacarotene, a pigment that the body can easily convert into vitamin A.
Researchers think that yellow cassava can provide children with around 50 percent of their daily vitamin A needs but they need to confirm that in the lab.
Elise Talsma told us: “We can quantify (cassava) intake. And then we can hopefully see how the levels of vitamin A are increasing in the volunteers’ blood. In that way, we know how much betacarotene increases those levels. So then we can calculate how good (sic) your body absorbs the betacarotene from the cassava.”
Vitamin A is just one of many micronutrients that African and European researchers are investigating in the fight against child malnutrition in Africa.
*Tracking Stanley*
In his village near Mombasa, it is Stanley’s lunch time.
His mother laces his normal maize-flour porridge with a special blend containing an iron supplement.
Scientists want to know if the mineral is improving Stanley’s cognitive development.
His mother Alice Mutala has no doubts.
“Since the study started, I feed Stanley every day with this iron-enriched meal,” she said. “He loves this porridge. And I think that thanks to this he is more active and healthier than other children of his age.”
That is exactly what researchers are trying to establish. They monitor every detail of Stanley’s daily activities.
Child development assessor at the Kikoneni Health Centre, Khassim Mashobo, told euronews: “I follow him for about an hour. I note who he communicates with, how much he speaks and how he vocalises. I also look at his mobility, if he is sitting, or standing, or running, or playing – whether he is alone or with somebody else. And I watch his emotions, like anger, happiness or sadness, and his behaviour.”
Stanley also goes to a nearby clinic where he undergoes extra examinations.
Another assessor at the health centre, Munaa Lila, explained: “We measure his responses to various stimuli, both sound and vision. We play games with him that he knows. And we track his reactions, his reactivity and his body language.”
Developmental psychologists compare data from children receiving doses of iron and those given a placebo.
They think small doses of iron or zinc can have a major impact on a child’s development.
Developmental psychologist at the International Centre for Behavioural Studies, Penny Holding said: “We are looking at their activity levels, because those are the ones that are actually the most sensitive to iron issues. So how much they are able to interact with their environment. The theoretical construct is that if you engage with your environment more, you learn more and you develop more quickly.”

Simply put: he is my favourite author. I have 400+ board games and some 120 are by Knizia, I even hold a Knizia-Index of 30. It means that I played at least 30 of his games 30 times each (for a total of more than 900 games just here…)
His games just are perfect for my mindset: simple rules, and a lot of depth.
He was considered one of the best authors at the beginning of the Century. Now, tastes have shifted. He once had several games in the top 100 on BoardGameGeek and now I think he has 1 or even none. He's not as popular anymore as he used to be, because people now are more interested in the number of minis and pieces in a box than they are interested in the real rules of the game. Currently, people just aim for "more", whatever "more" is: pieces, rules, complexity. I am still on the side of cleanliness and simplicity.
I still appreciate his games so much! Among his 700 games, let's be honest, there are a lot of repetitions (a game Like Botswana has other 4 or 5 names…), and there are a lot of games that are really sub-par… on the other hand, his best games are absolutely fantastic and anyone who wants to approach modern board games, should try his best works.
I once had him sign one card of my copy of one of his games (Colossal Arena), hoping that some good influx would help me in the board gaming world… so far it didn't help much but… I think it's better to follow the suggestions he is mentioning here.

Living legend. Some of my favorite games he made: Battle Line, Lost Cities, Quest for El Dorado for 2 players (although the last one can be played with 3 and 4 as well), Modern Art and Dream Factory are great auction games, Tigris and Euphrates is one of his heavier games and Blue Moon City is a hidden gem. Most of his games have very clear, simple rules but offer a lot of possibilities.

3:40 I disagree with Knizia here. We are not equals if you've brought to the table a game you're good at, and others at the table have never played it before. And this is quite likely. Even an experienced gamer has played only a small fraction of the games that are out there. There are far too many board games. What would be better is quality, not quantity. Better games, not more games.

I've played many of his games. They're usually not my top favourites but always good for a change of scenery. The main critique if his games is that the game mechanics are detached from the theme which I agree with but don't mind personally. My favourite game of his is the original version of Lost Cities (two player game). The theme is "expeditions" but if you think about it it's just a row of numbers and betting cards that you have to play in order. You can actually play this game with two sets of regular playing cards if you mark some of the cards from one set. I think Knizia is a master of inventing game mechanics (like in Ingenious). Very few people can make a living solely on being a board game designer and he is one of the chosen few. Props to him and his career! I remember listening to an interview with him once and his original professional was in the sciences if I remember! Was it physicist or statistician or engineer? A very smart man.
