Elated to announce I passed my PhD viva voce๐ŸŽ‰ a hugely emotional day, couldn't have asked for more from my amazing supervisors or my nearest & dearest๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’–

HUGE thanks to the amazing Prof Claire Steves & Prof McManus for examining, & to Trinity Provost Linda Doyle for the support ๐Ÿ™

ugly left leaning volcano plot. All of the data points are in the left quadrants, which, I personally find, masks effect sizes overall being left leaning.

the same volcano plot as before, but now the x axis limits from -10 to +10, even tho the right quadrants have few data points.

๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ปa really neat trick i enjoy in ggplot is

p + scale_x_continuous(
limits = function(x) c(
-max(abs(x)), max(abs(x))
))

it's great for systematically setting the x-axis symmetrical (new tongue twister?)

i really like it for manually making multiple volcano style plots in ggplot2 ๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ–Œ๏ธ
