I’m actually shocked the TX legislature is doing anything remotely useful instead of fighting culture war battles. Good for them.
#rstats and #python user. I love data visualization and studying the perception of data visualization. I use #positpbc 's #rstudio, #ggplot2, #quarto, and #d3, among other tools.
I’m a professor at an R1 university in the US. Opinions are my own - my uni isn’t nearly with it enough to have a fediverse presence.

@RyanHeffronPhoto Yeah, it seems like scientists could literally be setting themselves on fire trying to get peoples’ attention and policymakers would not act. This isn’t a scicomm issue, this is a political problem - politicians don’t want to solve problems that will cause short-term pain for long-term (generational) gain. There’s no motivation to solve problems that won’t resolve before the next election cycle.
