Excited to share my new study with Lace Padilla, re: equity impacts of public health dataviz. #ieeevis 📊 The bad news: Conventional disparity charts may actively undermine health + health equity. They push misbeliefs about the people being visualized. The good news: ... osf.io/preprints/os...

THREAD: The boy is called a liar. He’s told not to defend himself. Then the private school owner encourages all of his peers to attack him, one by one. She hits him, repeatedly, with a plastic pipe-like object. How does this school still exist — and receive state funds? 🧵

In late June, Springer Nature sold Scientific American to LabX Media. I have since decided to step out of my role as a senior graphics editor for the magazine :: #sciart 📊 🧪 :: 🧵 [1/7]

Technically, they’re Remains now.

I guess one difference between Jim Crow then and Jim Crow now is that we have cool graphics to show how it's done.

There was only a decade between Dred Scott and the ratification of the 14th Amendment, which completely changed the country's entire institutional structure. People radicalize when they're threatened, and today's rise in White Supremacy is no exception. 10/x

This kind of mixed use urban planning is illegal in America

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Delighted to share our revised paper (w/ @juliaturner.bsky.social & @jacobbastian.bsky.social ) showing that Universal Pre-K has broad effects on local labor markets — effects well beyond only mothers. Larger effects for full-day programs. nber.org/papers/w33767 #EconSky #EarlyChildhood #ECE

I made a tiny tool for quickly sharing small datasets (< ~1000 rows) without uploading any data to a server. 🔗 ziptbl.com It compresses the data into the link itself, so there’s no account, hosting, or storage layer involved. Here's Florence Nightingale's famous 📊 data: ziptbl.com#d=eNpdlE-LGz...

Shocked, I tell you

Our government keeps telling us America can't afford universal health care or expanding Medicare for ALL. There's a reason for that.🗽

I'm sure we've all seen the graphic that lays out the United States ' relationship with slavery. It's good, but I never thought it was quite impactful enough. So I made my own. I've used a few key events, including my birth, to highlight how recent these events are in history. 1 square = 1 year.

I hate every row and every column and every cell in every spreadsheet in the whole world.

"'Anti-woke' is a convenient label because it obscures what the movement is actually against: accountability."

Imagine being a kid, making this, going with your parents to a family event, and then getting fucking tear gassed for it. You do not hate the modern Gestapo enough because they sure as fuck hate every decent person in this country.

Happy Black History Month, North Carolina! Let’s celebrate the past and continuing contributions Black men and women make across our state and our country.

The arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are part of the autocratic war to control the narrative. The more lawless governments become, the more they seek to silence inconvenient facts and people and invent the reality they need.

it's equal parts great and bizarre to see someone in office who seems genuinely proud to be a public servant

From reddit, 144° difference in perceived temperature. 🥵🥶

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Posts from Minneapolis residents read like they'll be read in voiceover in a Ken Burns-like doc one day

Anyway, I hope this post brings you some

My favorite sign at the Montclair NJ No Kings today:

A trip to the doctor after an accident shouldn’t cost so much that you can’t pay your rent. We expanded Medicaid so working people can have peace of mind, knowing an illness or injury won’t put them in debt. DC Republicans including my opponent clearly disagree.

eh, It wasn't that high up... and 4-year-olds can take it. 😜 But if you're looking for other good moments in the paper... I also recommend reading the acknowledgments closely.

Turn off your phone’s “advertising ID” to make it harder for location data brokers to track you. (2/4)

1/ I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse. Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away. Thread 👇
