My colleagues at NYT came to my desk with cameras to make these videos. I'm so grateful to work in a place like this, doing what I love.

I'm coming back to this conversation after months because I just came across @nancyduarte.bsky.social's framing of explanatory as a step further from exploratory, adding value really. I personally feel this disregards the work of exploratory viz, but I'm curious to hear what other folks think 📊

¿Qué libros sobre #dataviz existen en español, para introducir a nuevas personas en el campo? A @albertocairo.com le escuché nombrar "La esquemática" de Joan Costa. ¿Cuáles más hay? @mhernandez.bsky.social @chiquiesteban.land @elivivas.bsky.social

From Christian saints to folk and pagan traditions, gift-bringers vary widely across Europe, and Father Christmas isn’t the only one delivering presents. In Eastern Europe, it's often Grandfather Frost (Ded Moroz), a jolly, bearded figure clad in a long coat.

Santa nailed it this year! 🎅 I won one of @katgreenbrook.bsky.social's 12 Days of Christmas giveaways and got The Data Storyteller’s Handbook + Chart Spark by @allitorban.bsky.social. Perfect summer reading! 🎁 Huge thanks to Kat & Alli for this thoughtful gift. I hope everyone had a lovely Xmas 🎄

¡Gracias a ustedes por la invitación y la amena charla con el grupo!

Mom, I made it! Last week I graduated from my master's degree in Narrative Futures: Art, Data, Society at The University of Edinburgh. Words cannot describe the excitement and gratefulness for all the support I've received along the way.

This is so cool! Fun, easy to use and aesthetically beautiful. 👏👏

We, the Data Viz team of the European Correspondent, put together a book 📖😱 ! Get your copy here⬇️ www.europeancorrespondent.com/europe-visua...

With @eurcorrespond.bsky.social we've just put together a book with the best of our 2024 #dataviz work. It's the perfect holiday gift for anyone interested in Europe or in dataviz more broadly! AND you're supporting independent journalism 💪: www.europeancorrespondent.com/europe-visua...

Just signed up to be part of the live audience for next week. So excited to hear what these amazing speakers will have to say about the present and future of #dataviz 📊

Europe’s story isn’t just told in headlines - it’s in the data. "Europe, visualised" breaks down 33 key trends that define our continent. From migration patterns to societal shifts, this book offers a unique, journalistic approach to understanding Europe.

Others have noted it but I will too: The big reason Bluesky is so hot right now is that the people who add value to social media - the frequent posters in specific fields - are here now, talking to each other and creating the "spectator value" that draws users and attention.

Advice worth including on the first page of every data viz textbook? "A clever #dataviz that presents information its audience doesn't care about in a way they can't understand is useless."

Hello Bsky 🦋👋. Today , I made this chart 📊 for The European Correspondent, showing the boom we're seeing over on this side. I used Google Trends data, but I'm curious to know what other public sources you would've used to show this increase in popularity

The hellsite was once a joyful place. Here's everyone on Twitter saying "good morning" on a Friday in August, 2009. Green = early risers Orange = normal folks Red = sleeper-inners

I thought I'd post more on here today during #cestlaviz. Truth is I felt so engaged with the talks and being present, that I didn't take my phone out. Such a well structured event with lots of time for networking, plus deep and insightful talks. Thanks @graphichunters.bsky.social!

Bluesky reaches 16 million users - bsky.jazco.dev/stats 1 million added in the last 27 hours

Does anyone know of cool visualisations regarding genealogy/family trees? I have this as a hobby, and would love to make a #dataviz of some sort. Would love to see some inspiration

Here you go. 🫡 Please share widely to help develop the dataviz community of Bluesky. 📊 go.bsky.app/R3nSyyy

Are there any Latin American #dataviz folks out here that you know of? Seeing that most of the dataviz action happens in the Global North, I'm curious to know who's working on data storytelling or visualization from a different perspective. Happy to connect 🙂

As a #dataviz newbie here on BlueSky, I wanted to start by sharing my #PathsInEducation project, a scrollytelling site that uses #datavisualisation not only to present statistics, but also to present human interest stories. Please explore, share, and lmk what you think: bit.ly/PathsInEduca...
