This is a good recommendation. In addition, for bar plots or other plots where you're coloring large areas, add some transparency. The viridis colors are too dark and saturated for large areas. They were designed for points and lines(*).

Compare left versus right.

I've added a little code peer-review activity for the final week of my introductory research methods course. I came across this great concise article which outlines what elements to include for code-review in the sciences: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
Implementing code review in the scientific workflow: Insights from ecology and evolutionary biology
Code review is the process of either informally (as part of a group, as colleagues) or formally (as part of the peer review process) checking and evaluating each other's code and is a critical method...

Lots of good bioinformatics starter packs. Many of the starter packs I used last week have already been updated as the influx continues.

Super useful guide by @jacoates.bsky.social for understanding some of the new quirks (and benefits) of BlueSky. Feels like the Starter Packs have been a great way to get me going, but I'm going to need some custom feeds to parse all these new people I'm following!
