International Day of Medical Physics honors the work of medical physicists—the experts who apply physics to medicine to improve diagnosis and treatment. These professionals ensure that radiation and advanced technologies are used safely and effectively in areas such as X-rays, MRI scans, and cancer therapy. The observance was established by the International Organization for Medical Physics (IOMP) and is held on this date to mark the birthday of Marie Skłodowska-Curie, born in 1867, whose groundbreaking research on radioactivity laid the foundation for modern medical physics.
International Hug A Bear Day encourages people to share friendly “bear hugs” or cuddle their favorite stuffed bear.

This observance highlights how something as simple as a hug can lift the spirit, reduce stress, and strengthen emotional connection.
International Merlot Day pays tribute to the Merlot grape, a classic red variety known for its smooth texture and enjoyable flavor. Originating in France’s Bordeaux region, Merlot remains the most widely planted grape there and plays a key role in many well-known blends.

With flavors of plum, cherry, and blackberry, Merlot remains one of the most popular red wines to share at the table.
