China’s fertility rate has fallen to one, continuing a long decline that began before and continued after the one-child policy—

The 1970s were a decade shaped by fears about overpopulation. As the world’s most populous country, China was never far from the debate.

Even modest daily step counts are associated with health benefits.

7000 per day= sizeable risk reductions across most outcomes, compared with 2000 steps per day.

Even though risk continued to decrease beyond 7000 steps per day, it plateaued for some outcomes.🧪

🌡 New on @ourworldindata.org:

We added global temperature anomaly charts *coloured by El Nino / La Nina periods*.

Today's "cool" years are warmer than "warm" years of the past.

A tiny neural network that passively computes by using light can greatly reduce the computing power and energy required for image reconstruction tasks.

This could enable improved medical imaging devices and quantum photonic chips for an unhackable internet. 🧪
