So excited to read and comment on "Data by Design" by @laurenfklein. Our concept of the history of dataviz is limited, and Lauren's amazing work helps us rethink some key faulty assumptions. In the tradition of the now-classic Data Feminism, this is well worth your time. https://x.com/laurenfklein/status/1792581548388061578

So many things I enjoy about this @NPR data story on the new USDA zone map: adorable plant characters, localize-to-self invitation, strong chart annotations, color data chips, "so what?" narrative focus, nav shortcuts, and more! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 https://apps.npr.org/plant-hardiness-garden-map/

Working with data physicalization is a wonderful challenge. I prompted my Northeastern CAMD Physical Computing students to create prototype digital data sculptures. They showed housing data, rat populations , dates of wine harvest, and migrant populations; using Arduino, motors, sensors, LED strips & more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ef6v-B3qeWs
