Mein Student arbeitet in seiner Masterarbeit an UX für die psychologische Aufklärung, surprise, DataVis als Visuelle Hilfe. Ihr könnt ihn unterstützen - Merci für eure 5 Minuten! survey.fhgr.ch/656214?lang=de Triggerwarnung, es geht um Einnahme von Medikation bei Depressionen.

In our latest Points of View column, @helenajambor.bsky.social and Alexander Lex cover scientific web applications for creating biological data figures. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

How scientists simplify their datavis with a few clicks - read more in **Click to plot** article, out in @natureportfolio.nature.com I love these resources, because I know they bridge the experimentalists journeying into advanced plots and coding eventually. Great collab @alex-lex.bsky.social

🚨 New blog post! 🚨 Collaborating on Quarto documents can be tricky, especially if you're working with people who don't need to write code 🫂 So I've pulled together some options for collaborating on Quarto documents into a blog post! Link: nrennie.rbind.io/blog/collabo... #QuartoPub #RStats

Collaborating on Quarto documents – Nicola Rennie

Collaborating on Quarto documents, particularly non-technical collaborators who don’t want or need to edit any code, is hard. This blog post outlines a few different options that might make it a littl...

I am always struck by how much of the spatial inequality within East Germany is obscured when Germany is considered as a whole. The disparities between Mecklenburg and the Pomeranian parts of the same federal state are particularly revealing.

What a week! My first Points of View was published @natmethods.nature.com Happy to start the series in 🏳️‍🌈 month with "On Color scales and the birth of Viridis" - looks good, allows naming of regions, AND is perceptually uniform 🎁 rdcu.be/fnPhk www.nature.com/articles/s41... #dataviz

😎 to have this out! --> stay tuned, this is a series about 📊#dataviz for #science 🧪

We are very excited to bring back our popular Points of View column, written by @helenajambor.bsky.social! Check out her first column in our July issue about the usage of color scales in scientific figures. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New series of "Points of View" articles on data visualisation incoming in @natmethods.nature.com from @helenajambor.bsky.social! Look forward to reading - will no doubt be a valuable resource. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This article is gold... worth a read. ps. I barely come here anymore, I need to focus on my local community to stay sane; posts like this make it worthwhile tough.

This is an excellent summary of the US War on Iran current situation. I’m an existentialist and borderline absurdist and even I struggle with the current moment. This summary is just fantastic.

"Friends don't let friends make bad graphs" repo has reached 7000 stars on GitHub! When I created it back in 2022, I'd never imagine it will become this popular. #DataVis github.com/cxli233/Frie...

😍 - also a great outcome of a meeting at #TCTEAC #WoodstockOfBio

Lipids are kind of the ignored middle children of origins of life research. It's time they got a bit of attention, too! This week's post is a Q&A with geoscientist-turned-??? (interdisciplinary folks know the struggle) @jamessaenz.bsky.social about why there's no cutting the fat from origins. 🧪

BioVis Meetup time! "Building Explainable AI Tools for Biomedical Applications" Wednesday, 18th of February at 5pm Berlin / 4 pm London, Speaker: Grace Guo, Harvard University link: --> comment/Biovis.net

Ah, getting nostalgic while making figures for color education! A former colleague became the new poster child for image tests in computer vision: a test image built in #ImageJ #FIJI If you are interested, read up on #NewLenna #Lenna, the #metoo moment of CS vision research #DataVis

here it is with a bit of extra context 😮‍💨

another look at this generational chart crime

All my students would immediately read the scale!! A 1% increase (if that, do we trust that number..?) .. #GraphCrimes #ChartsAgainstHumanity #DataVis

Das Geld, das Milliardäre seit Jahrzehnten mit Unterstützung der Politik anhäufen, fehlt der Gesellschaft an anderer Stelle. Das sollte man nicht vergessen.

see you in 1 hour! #BioVis #DataVis meetup

Issue 24 is complete! Marking the end of #biologists100, the cover features members of our community, including some featured 'extraordinary biologists' #100biologists, as well as our Editors and in-house team. Thank you to all our authors and reviewers, past and present, for their contributions.

Paper alert, some news on our #syntheticbiology activities. You can find out paper on the TPP #riboswitch activator at pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/.... And even better, you can order the compound for free on #boehringer 's #opnMe platform at www.opnme.com/molecules/tp.... #science

Small Molecule-Controlled Gene Expression: Design of Drug-like High-Affinity Modulators of a Custom-Made Riboswitch

Riboswitches are regulatory RNA structures that modulate gene expression in response to a small molecule. Until now, most efforts to design ligand analogs were motivated by their potential antibiotic ...
