While migration is a thorny political topic in many EU countries, the demographic data shows that most nations will see collapsing populations by 2100 without it. Interactive piece www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...
A map of Europe visualizing projected population changes by the year 2100. The map uses a color gradient, with darker shades of red indicating a greater projected population decrease and darker shades of blue indicating a greater projected population increase. A legend shows a range of -75% to +75% change. The map also includes a toggle to switch between projections with and without migration considered. The title "Visualised: Europe's population crisis" is prominently displayed, along with a call to action to "See how your country compares.

It matters that scientists speak out against what is being done to US science. Staying silent is neither "objective" nor "staying out of politics". Silence now *is* political - it supports the status quo, says "nothing to worry about". We need to sound the alarm. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Surprising: A majority of the audience at the #fwk24 panel on #AI thought that AI could be used for #infographics in #scicomm. Of course, this is not advisable if you want to publish factually correct, trustworthy and comprehensible graphics.
