An estimation on the death toll in European cities due to the heat wave, visualised by @TheEconomist. It's worth analysing this information-rich chart, which represents four variables: average temperature and increase in risk of death on the axes ... 🧵

Today, 3-14, is π-day (≈3.14) or International Day of Mathematics. Below, a Monte Carlo simulation by @Picanumeros* to approximate the value of π, defined as the area of ​​the unit circle.

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! In 2024, there were 7.9 million #female #scientists & #engineers in the #EuropeanUnion, compared to 3.4 million in 2008, accounting for 40.5% of total employment in #science & #engineering, with huge geographical variations👇 ec.europa.eu/eurostat/en/web…

The Spanish National #Statistics Institute and the Bank of Spain issue a (still experimental) tool to analyse the geographic distribution of economic activity in terms of employment, assets, sales, and gross operating profit of Spanish non-financial corporations, ... 🧵

Almost half of #EU #electricity in 2024 came from #renewables - In 2004 it was less than a sixth. Differences among member states are huge. But how can the share be >100% (e.g., 115% in Norway)?🤔 1) A country can generate more electricity than it consumes, exporting part of it.

Once a year, we venture outside the office and go on a trip with the entire team. Even with rain and wind, we had a lot of fun. After visiting Garmisch-Partenkirchen last year, we decided to try something new for this year's trip. Even our two office dogs joined us this year

Ever wondered how #ChatGPT and other #LargeLanguageModels (#LLM) actually work? From terabytes of training #data to token predictions and #ReinforcementLearning. 🤖 It's actually quite simple! ⬇️ #Statistics #AI #DataScience #MachineLearning #AILiteracy

To quantify #ClimateChange, usually the mean #temperature increase is communicated. But as the deviations from the mean are also growing, the temperature extremes are increasing much faster, like the maximum annual temperature in a weather station in NW Germany shown in the chart

Units of measurement play a crucial role when working with quantitative variables. In some countries, it can be challenging. This decision tree can help you. 😅🇬🇧 reddit.com/r/europe/comments…

The USA are still the world's largest importer, but its share has decreased in the 21st century. Note: The base for the % of the EU are the aggregated exports of the 27 member states, incl. #trade between them (i.e., not only the exports to the rest of the world) #TrumpTariffs
