These are the design guidelines I teach. From halfway through this deck: www.mjskay.com/presentation...
These days (for academic vis) I'd add "ensure natural visual operations correspond to meaningful operations in data space". Need to make slides for that.

Is it even legal to rebrand #stroopwafels as maple waffles and sell them as a Canadian souvenir without credit? Awesome to have thoughtful colleagues bring back delicious treats from work trips though! Thanks @leif-oltedal.bsky.social !

PhysicsForums and the Dead Internet Theory
An exposé no one will read, about the widespread falsification of user posts in PhysicsForums, a scientific community founded in 2001. This is a microcosm of the death of the human-written Internet.

Knitting my kid a pair of felted mittens in leftover yarn only to run out of leftover yarn midway 😅 The solution is of course to shop for more yarn which will turn into leftover yarn. A vicious cycle I can't get mad about! ☺️ 🧶 #knitting #raumavams

So I had a side project idea a while ago, but great news everyone! Other people have done it and they have done a better job than I ever could! Over on the Pudding, they have a beautiful interactive data story on the use of Lena over time. 📊
This may be similar to what youre trying to do: pudding.cool/2021/10/lenna/ Looks like the source isn’t *just* scientific publications, but it does look like Google Scholar was one place where data was collected
