"The agency has been operating streamgages in the United States since the 1880s. One of the first 120 gages the agency installed was in Wisconsin in 1899 ... That longevity gives scientists an essential resource for tracking Wisconsin’s bodies of water." via @wisconsinexaminer.com

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

Learn how to create stunning charts 📈 and maps 🌍 in this new lesson on Code Like a Journalist! We'll code #dataviz together using data from the 2023 Canadian wildfires. I rewrote it a few times, so I’d love for you to check it out. 😅 Link in the comments! 👇

Every scientist, long before they were a scientist, was a little kid who stood in front of a fish tank or stared up at the stars or turned over a rock to look at the bugs underneath and said “wow”. On the best days, working in science still feels like that.

The making of last week's #TidyTuesday visualisation, recorded using {camcorder} in #RStats 📹 There was something weird going on with the interaction between {ggtext}/{marquee} and {ggpattern} for displaying images, so the hardest part ended up being arranging them with {patchwork}

Bringing a new meaning to the definition of donut chart for last week's #TidyTuesday data on The Simpsons! 🍩 Is there a name for a waffle-donut hybrid? 🧇 Donut positions extracted using {waffle} 📊 Donut images plotted using {ggpattern} 📷 Facet images with {ggtext} #RStats #DataViz #ggplot2

an infographic about The Simpsons, showing the average number of words spoken per episode by each character, represented by donuts (each donut equals ten words). Homer speaks the most, followed by Marge, Lisa, and Bart. Maggie, being a one-year-old, has no recorded spoken words
