A perfectly packed box o’ cat

My cat meows at nothing and then looks at me like I'm supposed to handle it.

Found an excellent little community bookshelf in Edinburgh. The librarian does sleep on the job though. 🐈

skeptic cat as i explain that the daylight is getting longer because the earth is tilted on its axis as it orbits the sun

On one hand, positron assistant is useful etc etc. on the other hand, just straight googling without AI is incredibly useful for figuring out What the Actual Terminology for something is and this adding that knowledge to your toolkit #rstats #databs

On my way to #EGU26, perfect time to drop a new post! 🗺️ Something I've been wanting to write about: Mercator projections still showing up in high-profile journals. So here it is: projections you should stop using (for most things) 👇 #gis #rstats #dataviz dominicroye.github.io/blog/map-pro...

Forecasters say a strong El Niño weather pattern could form later this year, with a chance of becoming one of the strongest in three decades. The winds above the Pacific are shifting, the ocean is releasing stored-up heat, and a cascade of effects on rain, droughts and wildfires could be on its way.

Really nice paper from Rob Moss et al on COVID-19 forecasting in Australia between 2020-2022. journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol... Some really nice careful eval that I am looking forward to digging into more deeply. Code also looks nice even if 🐍

Do you have a dataset you'd like to see visualised (live, by me)?! Submit it for #TidyTuesday and then come along to the Posit Data Science Lab on May 12! 📊 #RStats #DataViz

📊 Five #ggplot2 functions I wish I'd known about earlier 📊 I've written a short blog (with examples) of some of the lesser-known {ggplot2} functions and arguments that make it easier to create better charts! Link: nrennie.rbind.io/blog/five-gg... #RStats #DataViz

#30daychartchallenge / day 23 / seasons I find using {geomtextpath} the easiest way to create beautiful grids for circular plots #rstats #dataviz #ggplot2

I'm a data scientist @ourworldindata.org and I need help from a botanist or someone local to Kyoto, Japan! 🌸 We present one of the world’s longest climate records: 1,200 years of peak cherry blossom dates in Kyoto. The researcher who maintained it, Prof. Yasuyuki Aono, sadly passed away last year.

Too much infectious disease science is done 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 LMICs and not 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 researchers in LMICs which further leaves LMIC researchers with few opportunities to influence INGO policies that affect them. We need better models to rebalance power. The Measles Analytics Hub is trying to model a better way

i've finished my gallery for this year #30daychartchallenge! now, only more 24 charts to go, yay

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Turns out I messed up a little with this one 😅, so here's an updated version with a corrected aggregation method and better country classification for territories like French Guiana.

Here's my entry for #Day1 of the #30DayChartChallenge This year I'll be exploring datasets from malariaatlas.org Code: github.com/rajodm/30Day... #dataviz #rstats #ggplot2 …let's see if I can do better than last year 😅

I have even better one 💝 same model though!

I like how @hadley.nz uses his AGENTS.md file. (I swear it's not edited, it's what I have seen in the subtitles)

In the contiguous US, for every 10 heat records, there are ~7 cold records, but between 2015 and 2025, this drops to just ~2 cold records for every 10 heat records. THIS chart 📊 is global #climatechange. #dataviz

The Census of India has never been very reader-friendly. But in 1970s, a series of events led to government putting effort into publishing very interesting, truly "Indian" #dataviz for the average reader. My new story, with an explorer and some comics! More ⬇️ 🔗 diagramchasing.fun/2026/portrai...

We're back with the 6th edition! 💪 Join the #30DayChartChallenge during April ➡️ 5 categories, 30 prompts — 30 charts. Read the prompt of the day. Pick whatever tool and data you like. Share your work! And if you manage less than 30, that's fine, too! ❤️ #dataviz #datavisualization
