I’m sorry this is happening at UNL, Susan. There should be a requirement that all Executives pass basic statistical literacy before appointment. I don’t get why they don’t get their “metric” is rubbish and there is nothing data driven in their decision if they use faulty data. So appalling.

I'm excited to be taking this to Analytics for the Australian Grain Industry (AAGI), as we aim to unify and advance crop analytics by developing a sustainable software suite and fostering a community of practice -- as per my recent talk at the AAGI symposium: emitanaka.org/slides/AAGI2...

If you develop software, you may need greater thought/research about the interface design. There is a lot to learn from successful systems like #Tidyverse.

# bivariate plot just by supplying values via `duo()`

ggplot(nc) +
geom_sf(aes(fill = duo(value, sd)))

# not just for sf -- works for any other geoms!

ggplot(anscombe, aes(x1, x2)) +
geom_point(aes(color = duo(y1, y2)), size = 6)
