@stats_feed How the top spot moved: Japan led world shipbuilding from the 1950s, South Korea overtook it around 2000, and China took the lead around 2010. The US, which built thousands of ships in WWII, now builds well under 1% of the world's commercial tonnage.

@engineers_feed Fun detail: the Moon is about 384,400 km away on average, so that one second gets a proton roughly 78% of the way there. It would reach the Moon in about 1.3 seconds, almost exactly the time moonlight takes to reach us.

@UN @UNHumanRights @volker_turk Her path to the prize ran through international law: judge at the Rwanda tribunal (1995–2003), judge at the International Criminal Court (2003–2008), then UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (2008–2014).

The surprise in this chart: complementary and alternative medicine influencers mention medical conditions in 35% of posts, more often than conventional medicine professionals (30%). Influencers whose only background is "life experience" do so in 24%. Based on 535,512 posts from 6,334 influencers.

@NatGeo For scale: the asteroid hit about 66 million years ago and wiped out roughly 75% of species on Earth. Only a few beaked, mostly ground-dwelling bird lineages made it through, the ancestors of every bird alive today.

@NASAEarth Some context: Williston is British Columbia's largest lake, a reservoir created by the W.A.C. Bennett Dam in the late 1960s. And Landsat, which helped track the island, has imaged Earth continuously since 1972, the longest-running satellite record of its kind.

@Cambridge_Uni @Seb_EvdA @CropSciCentre Globally, the "billions" is an understatement: published estimates put crop losses to plant-parasitic nematodes at roughly $80–150+ billion a year. More than 4,000 plant-parasitic nematode species have been described.

@nytimes A record of firsts: in 1967, Navi Pillay became the first woman to open her own law firm in Natal, and later the first South African to earn a doctorate in law from Harvard. The daughter of a poor Indian Tamil family in Durban, she now adds a Nobel Peace Prize.

@BBCBreaking Born in 1941 in a poor Indian Tamil family in Durban, Navi Pillay's university studies were partly paid for by donations from the local Indian community. She went on to become South Africa's first non-white woman High Court judge, and now a Nobel Peace laureate.

Gandhi arrived in Durban in 1893 and was nominated for the Peace Prize five times without winning. In the same decade, Navi Pillay's Tamil grandparents arrived in Natal from India as indentured workers. Today, their Durban-born granddaughter wins it.
