Academic colleagues: has anyone designed a poster using Quarto/Rmarkdown successfully and can share some tips? I've found the quarto extension 'docposter' and R package {posterdown} but both seem to be unmaintained...

👾 We've put together a supercut to show exactly what “interactive” means inside #ggplot2 [un]charted 👇 The project became far more ambitious than we first planned, but seeing how rich, detailed, and interactive it has become makes Yan and me genuinely proud of what we’ve built 🚀 #rstats #dataviz

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

Now that the Equinox has been and gone, I rename the enormous folder of unread pdfs on my desktop "Autumn Reading", by way of marking the passing of the seasons and the inexorable march of time.

Really exciting new archaeology report showing that two people who died in 7th century Kent had West African grandfathers. It’s suggested they’d travelled here as traders and settled thanks to the Byzantine Empire’s trade network that linked North Africa to Britain

“A Busy, Busy Day at the Airport” By Ruben Bolling Genius. Click in.

A cartoon showing various activity at an airport, including an extorted luxury jet, an exploding X rocket, a ketamine enthusiast wheeling a barrow of money to his plane, many ICE officers -- some taking people to an El Salvador plane, another with a zip-tied child being blocked by a federal judge -- scientists boarding a plane to Europe, a medical self-educator covered with pox, and more. All the people are represented by various animals. The story is made in the style of a Richard Starry children's book. Alt text borrowed from Mastodon..

As markets plummet again today from Trump's chaotic economic policies, ask yourself: Why would billionaires back policies that tank their own stock values? It’s the taxes. I wrote a step-by-step explainer of how billionaires avoid paying taxes. People are often surprised when I explain it.🧵

Philosophers of science may have heard from afar about a powerful group of scientists having established careers based on the efficacy of a specific treatment for ME, which causes permanent harm to most who try it and can cause death. The saga continues absolutelymaybe.plos.org/2025/01/24/w...

Came across the excellent visualisations at seeing-theory.brown.edu for the first time. Really recommended for learning/refreshing intuitions about probability distributions!
