I got some good news in the mail today. @hannahritchie.bsky.social

A couple of years ago, we did a scientific illustration project for the national parks of Quebec. They were to be used by tour guides. We begged and begged but never got pictures of them in action. That is, until one of us (Celia) went there this summer and snapped this picture. Glorious! 😍

I had an idea yesterday about making a word search that, when solved, would be a data visualization. So, I coded it up... and it worked! This shows abundance of three bird species in Brooklyn Bridge Park over a year. It feels like there are some fun possibilities here. 📊🪶

It was high time for Jorge to create this online training. He’s really good at dataviz and he’s written an excellent book. Might just learn Portuguese for this one (and a vacation). 📊

Since its apparently okay to talk about music here, this episode of Song Explorer is one of the best. It’s about the universally beloved Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Tears for Fears, with more background than usual.

Joys of social media. This post took me 1+ hour. 1. All visuals ready before I start 2. Write up, refine 3. Can't find our images 4. Alt text 5. Error when posting 6. Troubleshooting leads to @skyapp.bsky.social 7. Redo, post, forget 2 pictures, delete 8. Redo on web, error again 9. Post on Sky

We've done the live dataviz thing at the Montreal Climate Summit organized by @pcmtl.bsky.social in May. 📊 Turns out it was a great idea to get people talking and gather some insights from the crowd. Highly recommended for your kiosks. Results in the thread 🧵

This week's Dispatch brings a range of topics — U.S. politics, gender issues, the economy, conflict, and climate — as well as a chart-themed game at the end. 📊 🕹️ www.datawrapper.de/blog/data-vi...

Interesting: @hannahritchie.bsky.social (from @ourworldindata.org) is publishing a book focused on climate change and how we tackle it.

Pretty cool angle on our future climate. Seeing Montreal potentially turn into Cincinnati or even Memphis is eye-opening. I've never seen this done before. Excellent work by @naelshiab.bsky.social and CBC News newsinteractives.cbc.ca/features/202...

Well-designed chart. 📊

Still trying to understand what AI means for dataviz, so I've registered for this sessions with Stephanie Evergreen where she will report on her tests of over a dozen AI tools that claim to make data visualization. 📊

We ask a lot of questions about the audience of our charts and interactives, but none about age. Maybe we should? 📊 nightingaledvs.com/why-audience...

Both of these upcoming cohorts are sitting at about 1/3 full with a week to go. I'm really puzzled as to why registration has been so slow. Somewhat in desperation, there's now the code SIXTY you can use for 60% off registration.

🎙️ I had the immense privilege to talk to @visualisingdata.com about the @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social European State of Climate Report 2024: the role of #dataviz, my sources of inspiration, the link between science & art.. We talked for over an hour, it felt like 10 minutes 🧡 ➡️ shorturl.at/8zLn6

Been playing the newly launched Chartle game and pretty happy to have got today’s in one go. chartle.cc

Wait, is double axis good? 📊

@datavandals.bsky.social are sick of supporting social media apps but want to try to create a big community of friends - but how do we do it? We made a survey to get your thoughts docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

It will never not be amazing to me that journalists and other people in positions of public influence willingly stay on a site that is being openly manipulated on every level by one of the worst human beings on Earth.

Hateful rhetoric matters—especially when it comes from our leaders and targets marginalized people. On the left, anti-trans bills across the U.S. since 2015. On the right, anti-trans hate crime reported in the U.S. during the same period. (translegislation.com & cde.ucr.cjis.gov)

#DataViz de qualité. Par @sderivet.bsky.social et @julienguillot.bsky.social

Like Sonja, we should all be mindful of our role, our mission and our impact as people who make data more accessible to small and large audiences.

This #dataviz discussion resurfaces: should we rotate the population pyramids? Ages along the x axis make more sense but it disrupts how we look for patterns in a pyramid, so I'm not sure about a positive cost/benefits result. I do think folding the axis to better compare male/female is more urgent.

Really fun way to show this dataset. 📊

📊 The Dispatch is here! This week's visualizations feature China's military parade, climate change impacts and solutions, and much more. 🗞️ www.datawrapper.de/blog/data-vi...

I just had to check it for myself: the NYT truly only compressed Mamdani to fit into the mobile version, and none of the others. 📊 #dataviz No matter the technical explanation, the could and should have been avoided.

Most of us are in a wobbly position when it comes to our understanding of immigration numbers. How would things go if we didn’t make these half-remembered statistics so central to how we form and articulate opinions? georginasturge.substack.com/p/how-to-mak...

Il est important de rappeler des évidences : les cadeaux fiscaux mis en oeuvre depuis 2017, qui grèvent les finances publiques et expliquent une partie conséquente du déficit public, ont profité aux plus riches. Aux très très riches. C'est cela le macronisme-bayrouisme

Highest level of support since Gallup started asking this question a quarter century ago

I had a fabulous time at the @royalstatsoc.bsky.social conference in Edinburgh this week with lots of excellent talks and time spent catching up with people I don't get to see often enough! See you next year in Bournemouth? #RStats #StatsEd #JuliaLang #RSS2025Conf

This is how you display the total and the split by sex, not using a bar chart with three series. Eurostat is improving.

Here's a link to the 2015 tweet where Tufte "quilted" together the excellent individual graphics by the WSJ's Tynan DeBold and Dov Friedman x.com/EdwardTufte/...

Tufts has nothing to do with the design of this chart. He pointed to it once. It does not earn him a prominent mention. The authors are Tynan DeBold and Dov Friedman (follow WSJ link). They won awards for this work. They deserve 100% credit.

Nicely done. I’ve rarely studied stacked bar charts for this long. 📊

Make a positive impact as a #dataviz mentor in our Mentorship Program. 40% of our mentors return for another cohort. We’re still accepting mentor applications for the October - December cohort: www.datavisualizationsociety.org/mentorship

Your occasional reminder that the positive effects of UBI have been tested and validated hundreds of times more often than the murderous Musk robotaxis or LLM’s we’re rushing to put into our schools and streets.

The Roslings’* charts on demographics are truly some of their best work. 📊 *We should probably refer to their data visualizations as the collective output of Anna, Ola and Hans.

Seen a bad or misleading graph or figure in the media recently? I'd love to see it/share with my research methods class as they develop as consumers of research! Manipulative axes, really small sample sizes, misconstrued percent vs. percentile...show me what you've got! Thanks! #academicchatter

I love looking at this graph, showing it to my students, and sharing it on social media, even though it unerringly brings out the trolls. This is the efficacy curve of Pfizer's mRNA COVID vaccine. This, people, is what ended the emergency phase of the COVID pandemic. Despite what RFK Jr says.

Here in the UK, following the warmest Spring on record we have now had the warmest summer of record, with the UK mean breaking 16°C for the first time. It has been sunnier than usual and dry. Here is the climate/weather summary for the past year #dataviz #globalwarming #climatchange.
