Harvard and Trump are in a standoff—after rejecting his agenda, the university faces frozen grants and tax threats.

When I decided to visualise the same dataset on income inequality for all 30 prompts of the #30DayChartChallenge, I wasn't sure how I'd manage to make the prompt of "Birds" fit with that data... 🐦 But I managed to shoehorn some data about birds in there!

The result? A "correlation is not causation" / "dual axes are bad" plot in the style of Spurious Correlations made with #RStats!

#30DayChartChallenge Día 16: Negative Relationship FOUND! 📉🐍🐦🐢🐟

¡Lo conseguimos! Tras ajustar por masa corporal, la relación entre Tasa Metabólica Específica (W/kg) y Longevidad Máxima (años) en ~530 especies animales (AnAge DB, outliers quitados) SÍ es negativa (Pearson ρ ≈ -0.42, p < 2.2e-16). #RelationshipsWeek #Animals

El gráfico log-log muestra la tendencia: mayor intensidad metabólica por kilo se asocia con vidas más cortas. ¡Apoya la idea del "ritmo de vida"! 🔥➡️⏳ Colores por Clase Taxonómica.

Un recordatorio de la importancia de normalizar variables y limpiar datos para ver la señal correcta. ¡Ciencia en acción!
