A line chart showing temperature changes (daily min and max readings) from 22 weather stations across the UK. The line charts include model fit lines showing average temperatures across stations over time (1970 to 2024), showing the estimated average increase at the right margin (about +1.5 degrees Celsius). On the right of the line chart, there is map of the UK showing the location of each weather station. Four of them are marked with annotations showing the highest (Cambridge, 2008) and lowest (Newton Rigg, 2010) monthly means and the hottest January (Yeovilton, 1990) and coldest July (Lerwick, 1993). Data: UK Met Office via TidyTuesday; Packages: {tidyverse, geomtextpath, ggarrow, ggtext, glue, rnaturalearth, scales}; Visualization: C. Börstell.

Visualising relationships between the arts and health The American photographer Irving Penn (1917–2009) described a good photograph as one “that communicates a fact, touches the heart and leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it”. This photo...

"The promotion and creation of good health, even more than the treatment of illness, demands that art and science work from and with each other."

"I am not saying it is not causal though" is a great catchphrase I should use more often.

This is figure 1, which shows the effects of temperature on added sugar consumption.

A study in Nature Climate Change suggests that global warming may be associated with an increase in added sugar intake in the form of sugar-sweetened drinks and frozen desserts in the US, especially among more socioeconomically disadvantaged groups. go.nature.com/41Gch2u 🧪 🍎📃

Chart showing how rankings of passports have changed over time, split by region with top one in each highlighted. European are ranked high, and UAE has had a dramatic rise.

There was lots of data to play with for #TidyTuesday this week where we're looking at the power of different passports! ✈️

I decided to try out the idea of using small multiples and highlighting to untangle a spaghetti chart with lots of lines 📊

#RStats #DataViz #ggplot2

(They arrived like 2 weeks ago but I wasn't around to recieve them oops)

The hex stickers have arrived! :)

TIL Microsoft Word still has fun patterned gradients that you can use in bar charts. This will improve my dataviz so much now!

📊 #rstats This seems to break new ground in uncertainty visualization. The map example is compelling, and extends to other area-based #dataviz.

There's a good graph perception study here for someone comparing this to other uncertainty vizzies like blurr, ...

It’s one manuscript, Michael. How many typos could be in it?

Quantifying Trumpcare Researchers estimate the Big Beautiful Bill could result in 42,500 excess deaths a year

America could suffer some 42,500 excess deaths annually by 2034 as a result of Donald Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, researchers estimate. That is more people than currently die of breast cancer

My biggest complain with Obisidian markdown is that it handles images "differently", which makes it extremely annoying when sharing a markdown document with someone not using Obsidian :'(

You would think that a file being .md should work the same across platforms, but nope.

It is every researcher’s duty to use indirect prompt injection.

Folks, always share your code. It doesn’t have to be perfect to be helpful. And if you feel that it’s still too messy or not sufficiently clean to be shared, you shouldn’t submit yet. After all, there could be mistakes in your mess.

Cambridge hospital’s mask upgrade appears to eliminate Covid risk to staff Hospital infection study shows use of FFP3 respirators at Addenbrooke’s ‘may have cut ward-based infection to zero’

5 years on and we are living with unnecessary airborne infections. Patients are continuing to have elongated stays. Covid continues to cause deaths in vulnerable and each reinfection increases your risk of long covid. We need clean air in our hospitals urgently. 🧵

Alright, hear me out:

Discord. The chance of the pope having discord aren't zero.

Peruvian pope at heart.

It cannot be any other way, considering we instantly leaked his social security number in national television :)

It is really unfortunate to see Elmo from Sesame Street being censored by LinkedIn.

Can climate science attribute economic damage to major polluters? Climate researchers argue their science has advanced enough to directly link emissions from particular companies to damages from specific extreme weather events

Can fossil fuel companies be held legally accountable for climate-related damages? Researchers have a new method they say links the emissions from specific companies to trillions of dollars in economic harm.
