Minimalistic mapping with isolines 😍 It shows Europe's average maximum temperature in July. The closer the lines are, the more complex the orography, with large temperature changes in small areas, such as mountain regions. Each step between two thermolines is 2ºC. #dataviz #mapping #rstats

Thanks to everybody who chimed in! I arrived at the conclusion that (1) there's a lot of interesting stuff about interactions and (2) the figure I was looking for does not exist. So, I made it myself! Here's a simple illustration of how to control for confounding in interactions:>

Noves evidències mostren que les habilitats cognitives milloren fins als 40. Llavors comencen a disminuir en alguns casos però també poden continuar incrementant. Com en el cas de treballadors amb nivells universitaris amb un ús actiu de competències cognitives. #educacióalllargdelavida

📕L'anuari de l'Observatori de l'educació local ofereix una mirada sobre l'estat i l'evolució de l'educació des de la perspectiva municipal. 🔷Entre d'altres aportacions, reflexiono sobre els reptes i oportunitats de l'educació al llarg de la vida en un context de canvi.

🔹La ‘revolució de gènere’ en l’ús del temps s’ha estancat des dels 2000. 🔹Països amb suport estatal (Escandinàvia) tenen menys desigualtat, mentre que en altres on la cura recau en la família (Japó, Itàlia, Espanya), la bretxa es redueix molt lentament. #Gènere #Desigualtat #Temps

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

L'escalfament fa que les sequeres i els esdeveniments humits extrems siguin més freqüents i intensos, tot i que detectar-ho i mesurar-ho a escala regional i continental és complicat https://www.nasa.gov/centers-and-facilities/goddard/warming-makes-droughts-extreme-wet-events-more-frequent-intense/

I really liked this idea of using a histogram as a legend in a choropleth map (since land isn't unemployed; people are), so I made a little guide to doing it with #rstats, {ggplot2}, and {patchwork} www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2025/02...
