Thanks a million to @nicoledesignsdata.com for your positively glowing review of my book for Nightingale! 🤩

Two party outfits for #TC25 after dark, days 1 and 2! #TC25OOTD Party #1 was a last-minute event for me so I had to improvise and do some wardrobe remixing with components from the outfit for Party #2 (tonight's!) CC @christinagorga.bsky.social

It’s Day 2, outfit #1 of the day for opening Keynote and community meetups. #TC25OOTD Giving my Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66s a test drive this week.

It was an absolute honor judging #IronViz at #TC25. Each of the contestants did an INCREDIBLE job on their vizzes, and huge congrats to Bo on his win! #dataviz

Another day at #TC25, another #TC25OOTD! Representing #ironviz contestant Bo McCready (who is sadly not yet on Bluesky) with a tee that he designed and printed himself!

An interesting color choice for a fake company, #tc25. Why purple, green, and blue?? #accessibilityfail

Come to my #TC25 talk Relationships vs Joins vs Blends at 2:00 on Stage 7! I'll show you how to configure each method, demo how they shape data differently, and talk through the pros and cons of each approach. If you can't make it today, there will be a repeat session Wednesday at 9:30 on Stage 8.

Day 1 of #TC25, day 2 of #TC25OOTD! CC @christinagorga.bsky.social

What's up #TC25! In keeping with @christinagorga.bsky.social's tradition, here's my #TC25OOTD number 1, which I rocked at Data+Tacos this afternoon, and then at Data+Women this evening. Looking forward to a great conference! 🎉

My #TC25OOTD series returns on BlueSky and Threads this year. Trying to go more coastal grandma and Nancy Meyers’ inspired with temps in the mid-60s. Please tag your #TC25 outfit photos and add/tag me too so I can repost widely!

I've had a great time the last couple of days at #INFORMS Analytics+ 2025 in Indianapolis! I was asked by an old college friend to give a talk. It was my very first conference presentation so I was really nervous, but as a BIG bonus, my brother attended this conference with me! It's been awesome!

Some people think today is Pi Day. Although the more accurate Pi Day is 22nd July (22/7), in honour of those who can't wait, here's one of my π visualisations from a few years ago (replicating an artwork on display in the University of Cambridge from James Holleyhead in 2003) 😊

Here’s a list of rhetorical patterns and common catch phrases of the conspiracy theorist. I’m hearing this kind of thing from unusual places these days: 1️⃣ Claims of hidden knowledge: "what they don't want you to know," "connect the dots," "do your own research."

How do academics keep a running tally of papers that are useful / memorable / potentially citable in the future? Any tips or tricks?

In the latest episode of Universe of Art, we talk about what scientists found when they took a closer look at one of Van Gogh’s iconic paintings. Plus, artists are making foods that capture environmental crises. Listen here 🎧: pod.link/1680530900

If you rolled Colorado out into a brownie, how big would it be? Reporter BoyceDan joins us to discuss how scientists found a surprising answer.

Had a blast killing the buzz on Chart Chat 📊! The main thing we all learned: "​​Eli must be fun at parties"?! That sounds right. Thanks again to @abmakulec.bsky.social, @datarevelations.com, & Jeff Shaffer, and esp. @acotgreave.bsky.social for the comic relief! www.youtube.com/live/kjHhRx8...

Why do people talk on speaker phone in public?? WHY???

World's favourite cuisines. 25,000 people in 24 countries were asked which nation's food they preferred. Interesting results.

Oh my yes this. I do save some things as little rewards for myself sometimes (like watching a favorite show only when I'm on the exercise bike, as a motivating factor) but otherwise, seems to me why have stuff if you're not enjoying it?

I'd love to pick up 2 coaching clients this year and support radical transformations. Kelly supported mine. I believe in you cats.

Well, it was really cloudy in Austin but we got to see a few seconds of totality! #eclipse2024

Can confirm! 😜
