Today is the Pope's funeral. Let's talk about the practice of "SIN-EATING" 🧵
In 19th-century Britain, it was customary during a funeral to provide biscuits for mourners to take away. They were often wrapped and sealed in black wax. Here you see an example of a funeral biscuit wrapper from 1828. 1/8

PSA: Learning #datascience with others beats Googling error messages every time. 😅 We've all been there! Finding a community (like a #useR or #RLadies group) or study buddy can turn frustration into “aha!” moments. Team up and save yourself some time and angst. #rstats #BetterTogether

BUT it was a trick dataset and plotting the data revealed a gorilla! We found that students with a specific hypothesis were three times less likely to see the gorilla in the dataset. That means they didn’t even plot the data, which means they didn't take the first step towards exploring their data.

We have only 2.4 hospital beds per 1000 people, compared to 7.8 in Germany, 5.8 in France & an OECD average of 5.0.
We also have 1 in 8 beds occupied by medically fit patients needing social care - an issue that Labour won’t definitively address until 2028 at the earliest. Simply disastrous. (2/2)
