Really proud of my colleagues for this explainer on how we measure long-term international migration. It's such a complex thing to discuss, I think they nailed it :) Some nice #datavis too, of course. www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopula...

#30dayMapChallenge because I failed to tag it properly first time :D
I don't think ONS Geography are on this platform, so I'll quote their Twit and share something I made :)

My initial map for #30DayMapChallenge Day 4 'My data' was one where I was sussing out which hotel to book in New York City. It was my first attempt at making 'my own thing' in QGIS. I scored a lot of attractions by how strongly I want to visit them, and then overlayed a shortlist of hotel locations.

I enjoyed making charts for 'Marine and coastal margins natural capital'. But! I wanted to noodle with colours in my own time, away from brand guidelines...

I wanted to highlight in particular this new waterfall chart (left) which illustrates the breakdown of how inflation changed from the previous month, replacing the bar chart (right) from previous publications.

#datavis people! Please can you share any waterfall charts you have enjoyed, or otherwise? Here's one of mine, where I was looking at how different components contributed to the month's change in CPI (Consumer Price Index). It seems to be a 'love it or hate it' chart! #dataviz

Plot twist: The M&S hackers give up on extorting the nation's favourite store, and instead threaten to reveal which flavour & size of Big Knicker we all wear.

Sorting out my office and just found my first ever undergrad custom data visualisations! Who knew it would become my career all these years later?! These were the dark times of Matlab, prior to learning R 😅 I think this is also my first ever chart sketch. I knew NOTHING. #datavis #catbehaviour

Last week, I was pleased to produce charts for an ONS release. I didn't get visualise this one piece of data, though: 20% of single-adult households with at least one child ran out of food in the previous two weeks. Contrasting with 2% for two+ adult households with at least one child. #datavis

Highly, highly recommend catching one of the remaining Sea Power shows on this tour. I had no idea they’d be able to capture the atmosphere of those soundtracks live, but they smashed it. Do we use hashtags here? Is that a thing? #discoelysium
Friend of mine went to Sea Power, Soundtracks Live last night and I don't think I've ever been more jealous of anything, ever.
