So happy to receive a copy of @flowingdata.com’s second edition of ‘Visualize This’. Nathan has been a permanent presence in the field since I started out and this book perfectly distills those years of experience, exposure, skill, and practice he’s put in to supporting and celebrating this field.

I'm reviewing and updating my graphical perception slides for this week, and realizing there are two Heal(e)ys in this space-- @kieranhealy.bsky.social (e.g., socviz.co) and Christopher Healey (e.g. www.csc2.ncsu.edu/faculty/heal...). No wonder I'm always spelling names wrong!
