US and Chinese companies train almost all of the world’s most-used AI models. (This Data Insight was written by Edouard Mathieu.) Dozens of companies worldwide develop large AI models, but it can be difficult to get a sense of where the most-used ones tend to come from.

Springer Nature retracted two studies by Max Planck. In response to a question from @samkean.bsky.social, they issued this statement: "Detailed information about specific retractions is usually confidential and can only be shared with the relevant authors.”

One billion more people face at least one day of extreme heat stress each year compared with the 1970s, according to a paper in Nature Climate Change. The findings show that global heat stress is intensifying across events during the day, night, and during both the day and night. 🌎🧪

🥵 Europe has been affected by a terrible heatwave, with impacts across the continent & record-breaking temperatures in many countries. The @ipcc.bsky.social #AR6 conclusions show that that heat extremes have become more intense & more frequent across the world due to human-induced climate change.

On June 19, around 155 graduates in Agricultural and Environmental Sciences celebrated their Master's degree at ETH Zurich. Sunshine, a fierce thunderstorm, and an unforgettable evening in the Paul Scherrer lecture hall – a night to remember.

Open data - open science! This valuable work led by Viviane Fahrni and @robehube.bsky.social in the @biodiversa.eu project @greenet-project.bsky.social coordinated @bab.gv.at offers comparable data on a choice experiment, attitudes & preferences of farmers on biodiversity in 6 countries in Europe.

Wine Self-Sufficiency in Selected Countries, Avg 2018-2022; Chile's wine production accounts to 629% of its wine consumption. Wine production in the UK accounts for only 1% of domestic consumption. The world as a whole produces more wine than it consumes

New data, and an amazing long-run view: the surge and near-total collapse of China's wine market. From its peak of 1,928 million liters in 2017, wine consumption is down by 71%. Even more dramatic for wine production: from its peak of 1,607 million liters in 2012, production is down by more than 83%
