Professor of Sociology and administrative data infrastructure enthusiast at UC Irvine. My book (Schooled & Sorted) examines the role of categorization in education and how we can create more egalitarian categories.
We subsequently looked at a few of the images I have published, but none were deemed as cool as the Banff data🙃

Kiddo was incredulous and excited when I noted that making pictures to help people understand the world better was my job, and said I could publish this. Kiddo then suggested a division of labor where they would bring me other tidbits like this for me to publish😍

For me as a graduate student, @isa-rc28.bsky.social modeled the kind of large-scale, big team, data intensive, methodologically rigorous, theoretically meaningful research that I aspired to do, and so it was especially meaningful to have our work recognized by this award!

As @oliviergodechot.bsky.social notes, in some ways this could be seen as an example of "big" science:
coauthors: 29
years it took: 9
countries: 12
pages (w/ appendices): 111
observations: 1,164,687,821
But it can be summarized in one 5-word sentence: Top earners increasingly work together. PERIOD.

This made my day, and I love these answers so much!
I tell my students that one of the reasons that I remain an optimist is because of how thoughtful and creative they are.
Looking forward to seeing what else your students come up with 💜
