Every year, staff at the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, University College London, have 1 minute to introduce their work to new students. This is my one minute for 2025 (the actors were very kind about my work, their words, not mine, of course) @casaucl.bsky.social @thebartlettucl.bsky.social

A quick work in progress clip of a dual axis Sand Table to visualise data (in this case Wind Direction - circular - and Speed - horizontal)... next to it is the Marble version... The marks in the sand provide the data history. #stem #weather #dataviz #data #marbles #raspberrypi
