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

Inspired by @nrennie.bsky.social excellent #TidyTuesday plot on the power of passports, I adapted the idea to look at refugee origins. This chart ranks countries of origin of refugees, asylum-seekers, and others in need of international protection, grouped by region. #RStats #ggplot2 #Refugees

My personal library's looking healthy 😁

September is #GynaecologicalCancerAwarenessMonth. #OvarianCancer is the most devastating gynaecological cancer in the UK. The UKCTOCS trial involved over 200,000 women to explore if screening could save lives, but it wasn’t without challenges. 🎧 Discover the insights in this #TrialTalk episode:

I'm really looking forward to this session! Some of the things I'll be talking about include: 📖 Writing about #RStats with #QuartoPub ✍️ Working with @laracrc.bsky.social at CRC Press 📊 How it all started with some #TidyTuesday charts! #StatsEd #DataViz

At @royalstatsoc.bsky.social conference next week, I'll be talking in the 'Book Publication as a Scholarly Activity for Statisticians' session @ 11.30 on Thu 4 Sep - which I'm really excited about! (Very subtle announcement that there's a #DataViz book from me coming soon!) #StatsEd #RSS2025Conf

For this week's #TidyTuesday data about Billboard Hot 100 Number Ones, I decided to make a sheet music-themed chart 📊 - that will probably manage to annoy #DataViz people as much as music people! 🎶 Thanks to @jenrichmondphd.bsky.social for curating the data! #RStats #ggplot2
