I'm coming back to this conversation after months because I just came across @nancyduarte.bsky.social's framing of explanatory as a step further from exploratory, adding value really. I personally feel this disregards the work of exploratory viz, but I'm curious to hear what other folks think 📊

Santa nailed it this year! 🎅

I won one of @katgreenbrook.bsky.social's 12 Days of Christmas giveaways and got The Data Storyteller’s Handbook + Chart Spark by @allitorban.bsky.social. Perfect summer reading! 🎁 Huge thanks to Kat & Alli for this thoughtful gift.

I hope everyone had a lovely Xmas 🎄

Mom, I made it!

Last week I graduated from my master's degree in Narrative Futures: Art, Data, Society at The University of Edinburgh. Words cannot describe the excitement and gratefulness for all the support I've received along the way.

Interesting! This is a simple search for Uruguay and Costa Rica 😜. There's been a clear rise, although sometimes it's hard to grasp the magnitude because of how Google trends' public data works.
But it's definitely also on the rise!

Hello Bsky 🦋👋. Today , I made this chart 📊 for The European Correspondent, showing the boom we're seeing over on this side.

I used Google Trends data, but I'm curious to know what other public sources you would've used to show this increase in popularity

My reading spot this afternoon.

Anyone reading Nexus as well? Any thoughts on the book? (No spoilers please, I'm about 1/3 in)

Cat cuteness

Hi! I work as a Data Journalist for The European Correspondent, one of my most notable vizzes there being about reading habits.

My biggest project so far is my master's dissertation, which uses #dataviz to show statistics but also human interest stories: bit.ly/PathsInEduca...

That's exactly what I mentioned in my master's dissertation.

For the project I also created a scrollytelling website where time mainly flows vertically. You can see it here if you're interested: bit.ly/PathsInEduca...

As a #dataviz newbie here on BlueSky, I wanted to start by sharing my #PathsInEducation project, a scrollytelling site that uses #datavisualisation not only to present statistics, but also to present human interest stories.

Please explore, share, and lmk what you think: bit.ly/PathsInEduca...
