I am interested in working with an artist on a graphic novel on soil and/ or global environmental change. The lab would have money to fund this.

Do you know of any graphic artists that would be interested?

Yes, well spotted! There are some oversea territories that pull the centroid. I was not able to locate which ones. `rnaturalearth` is great in that it offers so many options of dealing with political boundaries, but also overwhelming, feedback welcome :)

Side note: I feel BlueSky compresses by figures in a non-pretty way. No matter the original resolution, they always come out weird. Is it only me? #TidyTuesday

Love the visualization! I am wondering thought, should the difference not add up? It looks to me like women are doing more things overall - what are they doing less of?

I continue to find this Elsevier equity survey puzzling - by which logic is Greece in Western Europe?
