Have had so much fun growing bioluminescent fungi with @CarolineSteel3 and @hfishaay for @bbcworldservice CrowdScience - on now or listen to the podcast here: bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3c… @PPS_UoS @ScienceShef
Agreed! That's why I wrote ggpubfigs, a ggplot2 extension that *only colorblind-friendly color palettes. Easily make your figures colorblind-friendly with ggpubfigs! x.com/NKWhiteman/sta…
A reminder that your search committee chair, grant proposal reviewers, and manuscript reviewers might be among the 1/12 XY or 1/200 XX who can’t see what you think is obvious in your figures because they have a color vision deficiency. Adobe tools, many papers on the topic, etc.
