"Layla and Majnun" is a famous tragic love story about the 7th-century Bedouin poet Qays ibn al-Mulawwah and his lover Layla bint Mahdi

This story, which originated in the Arabian Peninsula has traveled across the world over the ages

A thread on Layla and Majnun & manuscripts…

The final chapter of my dissertation is available on medRxiv! Check it out. We conducted a multi-ancestry TWAS of cognitive function, white matter hyperintensity and Alzheimer's disease.

Always be present enough to notice the beauty of this world. It can be as simple as seeing the gorgeous blues of a Robin's eggs.

@UMich The Department of Epidemiology has been ranked #4 in the nation by @usnews and World Report’s inaugural rankings of specialty field public health programs. We are thrilled to make the top five as recognized by deans and faculty from peer institutions across the country.

NOISE, BY POOH
Oh, the butterflies are flying,
Now the winter days are dying,
And the primroses are trying
To be seen.
And the turtle-doves are cooing,
And the woods are up and doing,
For the violets are blue-ing
In the green.

Two things every {ggplot2} course should teach:

1️⃣ Use proper labels and create a title with labs()
2️⃣ Increase the text size with theme_grey(base_size = ...)

Just two lines of code.
But a considerable amount of respect for your future audience (which has to read your graph).
