Wayne Maddison (waynemaddison.bsky.social), professor emeritus at UBC, captured this video of a nearly transparent jumping spider (tribe Amycini) from Canandé Reserve, Ecuador. Look closely & you'll see the principal eyes moving as it scans the area visually. Let's talk about spider-vision! 🕷️🧪

Wrote a new blogpost on how to use Claude Code to help generate alt text in quarto projects. alt text is very valuable and should always be a priority, AI agents help you get 90% of the way there! emilhvitfeldt.com/post/claude-... #quarto

Adding alt text to figures in quarto with Claude Code

Alt text is a very important thing to make sure you do right when making websites. Using AI agents such as Claude Code can help with a lot of the heavy lifting.

In 8 days, my picture book, WHEN BEAVERS MOVE IN, hits store shelves. It tells the story of what happens after beavers are relocated and was partially inspired by EAGER by @bengoldfarb.bsky.social. Check out Ben's overview of the Tulalip Beaver Project, also highlighted in my forthcoming book.

One of the questions in our @rainbowr.org 📊 workshop, was "could you make the beeswarm chart interactive?" 🐝 The answer is "yes, you can" and here's how: nrennie.rbind.io/blog/interac... #RStats #DataViz #ggplot2 #VisLGBTQ

Interactive beeswarm charts in R – Nicola Rennie

Interactive beeswarm charts are a great way to show distributions whilst still allowing users to see individual data points. This blog post shows how to make them entirely in R.

Inspired by #TidyTuesday & LGBTQ+ History Month myself and @kenglish.bsky.social are challenging people to produce visualisations using UK census data on LGBTQ+ people 📊 Share your #DataViz and code via GitHub or on here using #VisLGBTQ Here's one we made in today's @rainbowr.org workshop 🐝

Gay or Lesbian / Straight or Heterosexual are similar and lowest groups. Highest and highest variability is "all other sexual orientations".

Our new paper is now out showing how time perception in animals is linked to their ecology. Using data from 237 species we show temporal perception is faster in species that fly and pursuit predators www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🌐

I love R for everything statistics, but I've always been a little jealous of statisticians using SPSS Complex Samples or SAS SURVEYSELECT to design their samples. So I decided to build samplyr, a tidy and pipe-friendly grammar for survey sampling design in #rstats. dickoa.gitlab.io/samplyr/inde...
