When I was first creating this set in 2021, @allitorban.bsky.social would create a pattern for each animal, then I would make the animal an outfit out of their own pattern. She just reminded me that this #crab got a set of bunny ears. So dashing! 😊 #sciart #artcollab #medart #crabs #illustration

Am I too old to be a professional pickleball player? 🏓 Probably 😅 BUT... There's still hope! Here’s the age distribution of the top 50 pro women's doubles players in pickleball compared to tennis. Isn't it amazing that 17 year olds and 44 year olds can compete at the highest level together?!😍

rejuvenating my creativity with @allitorban.bsky.social‘s CHART SPARK

Chart Spark by @allitorban.bsky.social has given me a way to frame why I enjoy experimenting w/ TikTok. Making videos (for near-zero followers) are “mini-c” creative acts for me. (She cites work by Kaufman & Beghetto for the categories). Each animation is a fun low-stakes creative challenge #sciart

Hey look! Hey look! My "Dispersion vs Disparity" research (with Cindy X Bearfield) made it into @albertocairo.bsky.social's new "Art of Insight" book. We snuck into @allitorban.bsky.social's inspiring chapter on "Making Data Friendly." I'm so proud to see equity-focused dataviz as a topic in print.

I had a beautiful conversation about 'The Art of Insight' and life in general with @allitorban.bsky.social for her podcast, Dataviz today: dataviztoday.com
