Stacked area charts are a fantastic way to visualize how different categories contribute to a total over time, making it easy to spot both trends and changes in composition. With tidyplots, you can easily add these insights to your visualizations, whether you’re highlighting

🚨 New paper in Eurosurveillance - Mustafa Karatas We used shotgun metagenomics on indoor air in a Belgian daycare to track respiratory, enteric & skin viruses. 👉 40/42 samples contained human viruses—even when kids seemed healthy! 📄 Read here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41000028/

Exploring powerful tools in R and Python can transform the way lipidomics and metabolomics data are processed and visualized. This work highlights best practices that make statistical analysis more accessible and impactful for researchers in the field. Thank you Ming "Tommy" Tang

1) So, the Washington State H5 case is an H5N5, it seems. That doesn't make less or more worrisome than H5N1. High path H5N5 has been detected in Canada a number of times. It is a reassortant between circulating H5N1 and low pathogenic avian influenza virus with N5 NA.

More on H5N5 BirdFlu. ✴️Seabirds disseminated it from Europe to Canada, and now to US. ✴️E627K mutation positive (mammalian adaption). ✴️Retains affinity for Avian receptors (a-2,3 SA) at this stage. ✴️Lethal in ferret experiments (Ferret influenza disease closely correlates
