2025 #wrapped: DSE data viz 📊 🎨 One of our favorites from last year, designed by DSE's Amanda Anderson-You, depicts the inner-workings of "Josh": our new, open source vegetation modeling software codeveloped with the National Park Service. ➡️ dse.berkeley.edu/news/2025-wr... #DataVisualization

Thank you @bigadshaban.bsky.social and Raj Mathai @nbcbayarea.com for featuring @sampottinger.com & the United Nations #KigaliSim tool! Kigali Sim could help some countries ⬇️greenhouse gas emissions by 5% by 2040, developed here @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social 📰 www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/u...

👏DSE postdoc @mayazomer.bsky.social published new research in the @jxbotany.bsky.social! It explores how #MediterraneanShrubs resprout to recover after #disturbance and their resilience to global change: bit.ly/4mAwH5p cc @cideinvestiga.bsky.social ‪‪@bmoreira.bsky.social @jgpausas.bsky.social

This week the United Nations will negotiate a global treaty on #PlasticPollution. DSE's findings in @science.org revealed that by 2050, key policies could: ♻️ Reduce mismanaged plastic waste by up to 91% 🌞 Cut associated greenhouse gasses by 1/3 dse.berkeley.edu/programs/end... #EndPlasticPollution

Check out this excellent @grist.org story featuring DSE's @sampottinger.com! Sam discusses our team's latest #OpenSource tool & research on opportunities and challenges for US corn #farmers and insurance companies: grist.org/food-and-agr... #AgPolicy #FoodSecurity

Incredibly proud to have been part of this team. After 1.5 years of insufferable badgering my coworkers about corn - we made it! Neural network monte carlo simulations explore the future of crop insurance in the US Corn Belt.

🎉 🌎 🪐 I'm thrilled to announce GeoJupyter, an effort to imagine and build rewarding new user experiences for working with geospatial data in JupyterLab! 🤗 I hope to see you in an upcoming community meeting or in our Zulip chat (see the post for links)! geojupyter.org/blog/2025010...

Getting examples ready to teach my upcoming interactive data science / data visualization course (interactivedatascience.courses). Can’t wait to see you soon Berkeley! #creativeCoding

📢ICYMI: DSE's new research on pathways to end global plastic pollution was published in @science.org! Explore our cutting-edge model & interactive data visualization depicting what the planet's future could look like without plastic pollution: dse.berkeley.edu/news/critica... #EndPlasticPollution

Congrats to the team on the publication in Science today. 🎉 Honored to be co-authors with you and good luck at the upcoming UN negotiations as you carry our hope forward for a healthier and more sustainable future. #science #climate #plastics - www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Moody Tuesday… #pixelart

Happy Monday … sending some calm as you start your week. #pixelart

Happy Sunday #pixelart

In the middle of papers so there hasn’t been any new viz for a while but here’s my dog at the beach. #pixelart #art

Thanks ESPM / UC Berkeley! Had a lot of fun at today’s talk on 4 perspectives & frameworks in data visualization. Slides & recoding posted. If you are in the UC Berkeley community, I have other workshop opportunities and a full course in the spring. See interactivedatascience.courses for details!

It works on mobile!

Just added Monte Carlo to the simulation tab of global-plastics-tool.org! Do quantitative policy experiments in your browser!

Welcome Brazil! 🇧🇷

Pixel art for the recent rain in SF …

Good night blue sky. Hope I got the colors ok… I’m color blind so try my best. I didn’t check too many of these afterwards.

High five! More pixel art side quest.

Wish we had animated gifs

A little pixel art side quest

Goodnight creative coding blues sky. 🌗 Open source at gleap.org/plant/eclipse

Doodling and putting off work. Open source at gleap.org/plant/balance. Dear creative coding bluesky, I hope you are having a chill evening / morning to start the weekend.

Excited to share a project close to my heart combining AI & data viz borrowing from open world game design: interactive tool exploring policy options to address global plastics pollution. There is a nice intro at plasticstreaty.berkeley.edu leading into the tool itself at global-plastics-tool.org.

Good night creative coding bluesky. Hopefully Monday brings good things. Open source at gleap.org/plant/wheat

Hey all! Just forwarding along an event from some colleagues here in the bay area for science communication. A great event with some great colleagues. Interested in science communication? Join for this free event on Berkeley's beautiful campus: www.eventbrite.com/e/science-st...

Good afternoon happy Sunday. Some doodling in code while listening to Japanese Breakfast. The randomness produces kinda different variations on the vibe each time. Open source at gleap.org/plant/spotted.

A little sketch listening to Gregory Alan Isakov. Been a while since I made a plant in plant lang. Anyway, open source at gleap.org/plant/bouquet. Good night creative coding bluesky.

Good night creative coding blue sky! Doodling at gleap.org/plant/darksky. More ominous than I anticipated.

Playing around with the Monty Hall Problem with curious family members on a holiday. In case you want to join in on the fun, I made a small open source simulator at codepen.io/sampottinger.... Impress your friends and loved ones.

Repost a picture of the first game you remember playing… Oh man running through batteries on the gameboy. (Thanks mobygames for screenshot.)
