I'm attempting to get better about creating micro-joys as a friend calls them. Today's oatmeal includes saffron, rose water, and pistachio.

Career highlight: @jburnmurdoch.ft.com showcases my paper collaboration during his webinar.

Some behind the scenes notes:

We originally went into this paper to see if we could overtax and "over-text" the audience. At least with line charts and what we designed, we did not hit that limit. 📊

Example scaffolding for a native language learner (pictures) and a non-native (pictures and use of translation).

Once people are out of school, we still need to reach them. That's on us, the creators, to find tools besides direct training to help allow inference.

They're synergistic.

Authors can lower the register and provide translational tools for more people to understand - not a perfect system by any means.

We (creators) often do a poor job translating our work and inviting people in. Evolving literacies demand multimodal approaches (ex, text, tables).

Regular literacy is still varied in how we deploy it. Phonics doesn't/didn't work well for a portion of the population and English is a deep orthography - so lots of exceptions. Deaf literacy is another example without phonics. Beyond word reading, there's comprehension and extrapolation (More)

I've spent the last several years being a caregiver to several people and the last couple of months recovering from the loss of my last parent. Within the shards, I'm refinding myself.

The future of 📊 #DataViz is multimodal.

Technically, data exposition has always crossed modes, but we're able to interweave them now more than ever.

Mixing modes allows more ways for users to validate their understanding - cohesion between modes is key.
