I'm Pat Schloss! I produce videos about how to use data science tools to answer questions about the world around me. I believe that anyone can answer their own questions. Do you?! I'd love to learn more about the world around you. Share the questions you would like to answer and we can take them on together!

Hey folks - after posting 4 videos last week(!) I need to tend to some other things this week. I hope to be back with a video and livestream for next week. Keep practicing and critiquing the figures you find in papers!

Check out today's critique video to see my take on a special stacked bar plot - it represents paired pre/post microbiome data. This introduces another layer to think about when considering stacked bar plots. The punchline: use your experimental design to help design you data visualizations! On Wednesday I'll have a livestream where I try to refactor the stacked bar plot into something easier to interpret featuring a total of 3! colors

After a few weeks of pretty complicated and demanding visualizations, let's focus on simplifying our visualizations. If you liked the refactored version in today's critique video, be sure to tune in on Wednesday (5/20) at 9AM to see me recreate that version with you. If you have other ideas for simplifying the visualization or have any questions, I'd love to get your feedback.

Unfortunately, I need to skip this week's livestream. I'll be back at it next week with another figure that combines a dendrogram, faceted heat map, and a stacked bar plot. Should be fun! 🤓

Hey folks - I need ideas for what to do during the livestream on Wednesday (5/6)! In place of a critique video on Monday, I'll be posting a how-to video covering some stuff with legends. What would you like to see me cover on Wednesday? Comment below!

I hope you enjoy today's critique video of a set of dose response curves. On Wednesday (4/29) at 9AM, I'll be recreating that figure in R using ggplot2 and will try some of the embellishments I discussed in my critique. Be sure to tune in and be part of the conversation!

Set your clocks for 9AM tomorrow (9/22) morning! I'll be live streaming my attempts to recreate a data visualization approach that is commonly used in genomics papers. Yes, I know there's a package for that, but I'll do it with ggplot2 and explain why 🤓

Hey folks - what did you think of today's critique video? Tune in on Wednesday to see how we can make this set of panels in R using ggplot2 and how we can make them better. See you at 9AM on 9/8!
