what software do people use to generate pretty-looking causal DAGs for their papers? (answers that take the form of an R package preferred, but “we always use Powerpoint/Canva/… because doing it in code is too hard” is a useful data point too)

Tal vez cabría matizar la primera afirmación y evitar monismos reduccionistas. Porque derecha no hay una, sino muchas.

Hi, Bluesky! 🌿 I study malaria in the Peruvian Amazon, and we just found Plasmodium odocoilei clade 1 in a red brocket deer (Mazama americana)—something unexpected! 🤯
Is the fascism denomination due to the deportation program or any other political policy or ideology?
Is a report like the one below biased about comparing governments?

por otro lado, ¿el uso de la palabra "ciencias" puesto en práctica fue por la diferencia en la metodología (tradicional, occidental) o por las diferencias en el núcleo y objeto de estudio de los campos de conocimiento (biología, química, física)?

Completamente de acuerdo en la estrategia. Sin embargo, ¿es Europa la plataforma política capaz de materializar dicha estrategia? o ¿Sería más viable aplicar esa estrategia a nivel de un Estado-nación? ¿Qué tan dependiente es la planificación en política económica de un Estado dentro de la UE?

Para enero 2025 este orden ha cambiado: #EstadosUnidos, #Alemania, #Canadá, #ReinoUnido y #España (+10%) (Similarweb, 2025)
¿Tal vez toca una actualización pronto? ¿Tendría que estar atomatizado? ¿Alguien con cuenta #Similarweb para ver paises hispanohablantes?

Buscando, encuentro que en análisis resumen del 2024, #EstadosUnidos, #Japón, #Brasil, #Alemania y #ReinoUnido salen entre los paises con más usuarios.
El orden por defecto tiene sentido. Sin embargo...

Si el #chino y #español son los dos idiomas con más hablantes nativos, y junto al #hindi son los idiomas con mayor cantidad total de hablantes (Statista, 2023)
