Brevity is an undervalued skill. It takes *work* to identify what is essential and to convey the key points clearly in limited words.
(Tweet/Skeet-type writing is actually great practice for this kind of work).

Part of our writing curriculum in grad school was to summarize the week's departmental seminar in one page or less. We got feedback on every assignment. I set myself the challenge over the year of getting the summary down to one paragraph.
Ask me how much that impacts my current job.

Yes, good data visualisation is important. But "good data visualisation" is increasingly (wrongly) equated with "data visualisation that looks nice."
Good data visualisation is meaningful and interpretable.
Aesthetics are second order, and only matter if they contribute to the above.

Two noteworthy things about the White House press release ahead of today's announcement regarding ED:
(1) It's all about K-12, while most federal money goes to higher ed.
(2) Most of the links are to NCES reports...and NCES is now down to about three employees.

As predicted, women in New Hampshire had a hard time voting yesterday because of the new proof of citizenship law:
“It doesn’t have my married name on it,” she said. Town voting officials then sent her away a second time, to get her marriage certificate.

NH’s new ID requirements send some would-be voters home to grab passports, birth certificates
The law requires all new voters to show proof of their U.S. citizenship. For some, that meant making multiple trips to and from the polls before finally casting a ballot on Tuesday.
