Consistent plotting with ggplot
Unlike other OPIGlets (looking at you, Claire), I have neither the skill nor the patience to make good figures from scratch. And making good figures — as well as remaking, rescaling and adapting them — is incredibly important, because they play a huge role in the way we communicate our research. So how does an aesthetically impaired DPhil student do her plotting?

I recently spent some time working out how to include mini inset plots within ggplot2 facets, and I thought I would share my code in case anyone else wants to achieve a similar thing. The resulting plot looks something like this:
A Brief Introduction to ggpairs
In this blog post I will introduce a fun R plotting function, ggpairs, that’s useful for exploring distributions and correlations.
