a_statistician @kbin.social \#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.

There's no motivation to solve problems that won't resolve before the next election cycle.
