The {esquisse} package makes it easy to plot your data in different ways with a drag and drop interface: #rstats

Explore and Visualize Your Data Interactively
A shiny gadget to create ggplot2 figures interactively with drag-and-drop to map your variables to different aesthetics. You can quickly visualize your data accordingly to their type, export in various formats, and retrieve the code to reproduce the plot.

In case you don't want any Microsoft AI to be trained ("improved") with your personal data and content from LinkedIn, you should probably toggle the according switch in your LinkedIn privacy settings to "Off". Default is set to "On".

I found two different apps for iOS that will export GPX files one at a time, which is nice when you don't want to export *all* of your Apple Health data to get just a few files.
But also, it's fucked up that we cannot just access the data/files in the file system.
Yeah, yeah, I know... Apple, iOS, etc. So much I don't love but it's the lesser of many evils ecosystem for me right now.

Examples of creative data visualizations, mostly ggplot: #ggplot #dataviz

I like my individualized mail addresses. I just received a phishing mail to update my data with a Swiss payment system (TWINT) - but it was sent to an address I created for a doctor's appointment system (Onedoc).

Hi Bluesky! 👋 #datascience, broadly defined, like network science, computational social science, geospatial data science.

{nplyr} has helper functions to work on nested dataframes: #rstats #datascience

A Grammar of Nested Data Manipulation
Provides functions for manipulating nested data frames in a list-column using dplyr syntax. Rather than unnesting, then manipulating a data frame, nplyr allows users to manipulate each nested data frame directly. nplyr is a wrapper for dplyr functions that provide tools for common data manipulation steps: filtering rows, selecting columns, summarising grouped data, among others.

📣 Starting today: Science Maps. Bibliometrics between understanding and visualization
Together with Marcus John, I organize a small series on science mapping for our workgroup "WG Visualization" at Competence Network Bibliometrics. We hop to gether traditional, current, and critical perspectives on one of the most established and iconic forms of visualizing data in #Bibliometrics and #NetworkAnalysis.
More talks will be announced soon!
Today, Katy Börner will kickoff our series with a presentation about "Mapping and Modeling Science, Technology, and Education". You can find further info and registration under the following link:
