RT @EU_ENV: #AirPollution is one of the greatest 🌍 environmental health risks according to @WHO, contributing to the development of heart diseases & strokes

This 🆕 study has found that the health burden attributable to air pollution has dropped over 3 decades 👉 https://environment.ec.europa.eu/news/european-health-burden-attributable-air-pollution-fell-over-three-decades-1990-2019-2023-01-11_en

RT @EU_ENV: Around 1/3 of the EU's bird species are not in a good conservation status

With our Birds Directive, we want to protect all 500 wild 🐦 species naturally occurring in the 🇪🇺 & their habitats

🆕 research indicates how protected areas can be most effective: https://environment.ec.europa.eu/news/bird-conservation-protected-areas-are-most-effective-when-over-50-hectares-size-2022-10-10_en

#quantumcomputing is...

Perhaps you have seen some news about a "breakthrough" from China in quantum computing? My BS detector was definitely activated but I really wanted to hear what Scott Aaronson had to say. He does not disappoint. tl;dr "No. Just No." #quantumcomputing #factoring https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=6957

#QuantumComputing and #QuantumTechnologies can profit from #MachineLearning: Ranging from interpreting noisy measurement data up to the discovery of new quantum strategies or quantum experiments.

I love this fascinating TED talk by #Paleoanthropologist and #CaveArt researcher Genevieve von Petzinger, talking about graphic communication in #Prehistory, about the Ice Age human "giants" of 40,000-to-10,000 years ago upon whose shoulders stood the inventors of our earliest known written languages like Egyptian hieroglyphics and ancient Chinese characters around 5,000 years ago. This video is the most intellectually exciting 12 minutes I've enjoyed in months.
