I've just explored the brand-new tidyplots package in R, and it’s impressive how effortlessly it enables you to create beautiful, publication-ready plots. Designed with scientific papers in mind, tidyplots lets you build, adjust, and refine plot components gradually, all with a consistent and intuitive syntax that takes the complexity out of visualization. ✔️ Simple Syntax: Tidyplots offers user-friendly functions for creating polished visuals with minimal coding, saving you time and effort. ✔️ Consistent Style: Achieve a cohesive look across all visuals, eliminating the need for repetitive adjustments. ✔️ Flexible Customization: Easily customize colors, labels, and themes to align with your project’s goals, resulting in professional and engaging data displays. ✔️ Enhanced Data Storytelling: Built for clarity, tidyplots helps you convey insights effectively, making your data stand out. The example visualizations shown here were created by the package author, Jan Broder Engler, and are featured on the tidyplots website: jbengler.github.io/tidyplots/ #rstats #dataviz #tidyverse

Our paper (@TheBuellLab @OConnor_lab) on the regulation of vinca alkaloid biosynthesis at cell type resolution is published at @NewPhyt! It is my 2nd paper using single cell techniques to study the genomics & regulation of plant specialized metabolism: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np… 1/2

come join us!

Gonna get a tattoo on my chest that reads "just because a result is statistically significant does not mean it is biologically significant" & a matching tattoo on my back that reads "just because a result is biologically significant does not mean it is statistically significant"

PAPER - Are you interested in endomembrane trafficing? Read the new article @AnirbanBaral et al from Rishikesh Bhalerao's group and gain new insights into secretory trafficking at the trans-Golgi network. It is published in @ThePlantCell: doi.org/10.1093/plcell…

New paper! For years, I saw people often split up root samples that were too big to fit in a scan. But, there was no standard way to combine the data back. We solve this issue with two methods, image concatenation and statistical aggregation @RhizoVision nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…
