Mirrored bar plot showing the distribution of estimated probabilities for different terms, for US and UK respondents. Will happen is ranked most likely, and almost no chance is least likely. Points highlight the median which are identical for both groups except for may/might happen and highly likely where US medians are higher.

A really fun dataset for this week's #TidyTuesday, looking at how people interpret different probabilistic statements πŸ“Š

There's so many aspects of this to visualise, but I decided make some barcode plots comparing how people from the UK and US responded!

I’m excited to share a new County Health Explorer, an interactive R #Shiny application for #mapping and analyzing public health data across U.S. counties.

The app integrates two national datasets:
County Health Rankings & RoadmapsΒ and CDC

Holy shit - this would be very, very bad:

So excited to see this fantastic cohort take on US mortality trends in @pnas.org, with some amazing Lexis diagrams that I may print out and frame for my wall. Great work from @leahrabrams.bsky.social @octaviobramajo.bsky.social @alysonvanraalte.bsky.social πŸ‘πŸ‘

The Constitution says otherwise. In fact, even Rep. Ogles is welcome in American society. E pluribus unum. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Let’s get one thing straight: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian.

Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

1/ Has life expectancy fully recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic? In a new pre-print, we find that 31 of 34 high-income countries had still not returned to their expected life expectancy trajectories five years after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6... #demography

Feliz dia das mulheres! I think of IWD as a Soviet-bloc holiday. For example, even these days it's a much bigger tradition in Eastern than in Western Germany. I was in Russia on IWD in 2012 and it was definitely a big deal.

The 17-year-old high school pitcher getting MVP Aaron Judge to hit into an inning-ending double play with the bases loaded was a great moment. (Son of an MLB player and a Brazilian mom, of course!)
