📊 There are *so* many chart types out there. Which one should you use for what kind of data and goal? I tried to answer the question in a new blog post (and poster!): www.datawrapper.de/blog/chart-t...

A poster showing icons for 40 different visualization types, categorized by goal – e.g. "showing shares" or "showing flows" or "showing developments over time".

The new Neil Halloran documentary on Smallpox has completely changed how I see the RFK Jr. version of the world. Neil (softly) argues that realizing that disease isn't the fault of the sick /or/ the fault of the Gods ushered in a new future where we felt the authority to care for each other.

The reason this is such a big deal is that Trumpism, an ideology of pathological insecurity and bullying, requires you to submit. When you don’t submit, it calls everything about them into question, and they can’t handle that. So don’t submit. Defy the fascist scum.

Deep learning for fluorescence lifetime predictions enables high-throughput in vivo imaging by Gabriele S. Kaminski Schierle and team: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

FLIMngo reliably predicts fluorescence lifetimes across photon count conditions. (a) Fluorescence lifetime maps of the ground truth alongside the maps predicted by phasor plot analysis, FLI-Net, FPFLI, and FLIMngo. The ground truth fluorescence lifetime maps are identical for both low and high photon counts, as the true fluorescence lifetime value per pixel is independent of photon counts. (b) Box-and-whisker plots of the MSE scores for predicted fluorescence lifetime maps from high photon counts compared to ground truth data. (c) Box-and-whisker plots of the MSE scores for predicted fluorescence lifetime maps from low photon counts compared to ground truth data. As FPFLI performs pixel binning, the MSE scores were calculated only on pixels representing non-background regions in the ground truths. For the Box-and-whisker plots, the line indicates the median, while the box represents the interquartile range; whiskers extend to the furthest data points within 1.5 times the interquartile range and the dots show outliers44. The data consisted of 40 simulated images with high photon counts (100-2500 photons per pixel) and the same images with low photon counts (25-100 photons per pixel), respectively. Statistical significance was calculated using a Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Dunn’s multiple comparisons, where *** denotes p < 0.001, **** denotes p < 0.0001, and “n.s.” denotes non-significant differences.

#PathSky 43M with a giant, pendulous mass of the inner thigh. The outside clinician and pathologist were concerned for WDL, but their MDM2 FISH was negative. Certainly there is nature fat with fibrous septae and an increased number of somewhat atypical stromal cells? False negative FISH?

There's a really simple test for Schrodinger's Autist: Explain the broken social rule to the culprit. Is the person mortified and eager to follow that rule going forward? Then the problem was social skills! Is the person defensive, accusatory, and unrepentant? The problem was NOT social skills!

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

For Blue Monday we can't think of anything more appropriate than this charming depiction of a man getting his face eaten off by a leopard. #MosaicMonday

A horrific image of a someone who seems to have his hands tied behind his back. A big cat (the predator kind, not the overfed pet kind) has jumped up at him and is devouring his face. Blood splashes on the floor.

"Masculine Energy"

Panel 1: Mark Zuckerberg stands on the stage at a Meta all-hands meeting, wearing a little chain and a shirt that says "Cool Dude." "I think our company could use more Masculine Energy," he says into a mic. In the crowd, an employee raises their hand. "Excuse me, Mr. Zuckerberg," the person asks. Panel 2: The person stands up, asking, "By "Masculine Energy," do you mean a mature definition where men in power use their relative strength to protect and uplift those less privileged?" Panel 3: The person continues, "…or a more childish definition where men in power are free to be aggressive and harm others without being held accountable?" Panel 4: Zuck stands silent for a beat. Panel 5: "You're all fired," he says.
