📊 Many phrases we use casually cry out for visualization.

Inspired by "winds of change," Bahareh Zahirodini and Moinak Bhaduri present a new method for visualizing time series data by using fractal trees to represent shifts in data over time.

In Nature Climate Change @natclimchange.bsky.social, we show that Extreme Weather Events (EWEs) have strong but different effects on plant and insect phenology, as individuals respond to immediate environmental cues such as EWES, likely more rapidly so than to gradual climate change. rdcu.be/eaLMu
