Did you know that the COVID-19 pandemic caused ⚡⚡⚡ lighting ⚡⚡⚡ strikes to decline a lot across the globe? Why? Less travel ➡️ fewer anthropogenic aerosols in the air ➡️ fewer clouds ➡️ less lightning. So when the world paused during the pandemic, storms got notably less intense. Cool, eh?

The other dimension of this is the perverse incentives it gives instructors to assume the worst of their students. If I read a decently written essay, I now have to pause and question a student’s honesty. That kind of creeping distrust is fatal to the model of teaching we’ve followed for millennia.

Too many vector shapes can slow down PDF performance. This is how you can selectively rasterize data points in #tidyplots 🪩 In this example, I used 100 DPI for demonstration purposes. In practice, you would typically use 300 DPI for better quality 😉 #rstats #dataviz #phd
