Exploring the Expanding Universe: A Week with Nobel Laureate Adam Riess at ISSI | International Space Science Institute The International Space Science Institute (ISSI) in Bern hosted an inspiring week-long workshop on the local value of the Hubble Constant.

Nobel laureate Adam Riess and colleagues attended a comprehensive workshop at ISSI to delve into the expanding universe and the „Hubble Tension“.

Riess also gave a public talk about cosmic insights: no edge, no centre, just endless wonder.🌌

ISSI Research Reveals Global Warming Behind Surge in Extreme Marine Heatwaves | International Space Science Institute New study has revealed that the number of extreme marine heatwave days has nearly tripled since the 1940s.

The number of extreme marine heatwave days has nearly tripled since the 1940s study by ISSI Discipline Scientist Marta Marcos shows. 🌡️

That’s a dramatic shift driven largely by human-induced climate change.
