Today @wikipedia.org turns 25 years. Let's appreciate this monumental project of open knowledge and international collaboration! Without open knowledge, data and transparency we cannot see uncomfortable facts and where humanity need to act. data: @ourworldindata.org #RStats #opendata #wikipedia
A map of the world where many countries are coloured in grey and some are in orange-red colouring. The coloured countries mostly lie in Africa and Central America.

The title reads: Populations younger than Wikipedia
The subtitle reads: Today, Wikpedia turns 25 years. In some countries the median age is below 25 years. This means that in these countries at least half of the population is younger than Wikipedia. The darker the color, the lower the median age, down to an alarming 14.6 in Central African Republic. Nations in grey have a median age above 25.

Do you know the name Dorothy Hansine Andersen? She was the first researcher and physician to discover cystic fibrosis and its autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. As a pathologist, she recognised distinctive organ damage in the pancreases and lungs of deceased children with celiac disease. /1

There was lots of data to play with for #TidyTuesday this week where we're looking at the power of different passports! ✈️ I decided to try out the idea of using small multiples and highlighting to untangle a spaghetti chart with lots of lines 📊 #RStats #DataViz #ggplot2
Chart showing how rankings of passports have changed over time, split by region with top one in each highlighted. European are ranked high, and UAE has had a dramatic rise.

A Startrek meme of a scene where a Cardassian torturer tries to break Cpt. Picard’s will and force him to repeat a false claim as truth. In this version, adapted to the blueberry context, Picard insists that there are only two “b” in blueberry.

I sometimes fired your up python/ pandas just for its read_html() function. With one line I got a list of all html tables found at a given url, which you can then write to a csv individually. And then I went back to #rstats - obviously

How about taking your 1:7 chart and hash it. Since text doesn’t count, that would go to 1:0. And the data is still there, viewers ‘simply’ would have to brute force the hash to view the data!

Looking at the major threats birds face today. Remember seeing a plot dealing w/"overflow" ike this, but can't remember where. Anyways, here's day 17 of the #30daychartchallenge 99% #rstats #ggplot2 📊 Perhaps not ideal for making friends with cat people 😄 peder.quarto.pub/blog/posts/a...
Shows a bar plot of top killers of birds (annually for the US). Cats are the major killer, at 2.4 billion, followed by crashing into building windows (600 million), vehicles at 214 million and so on. Wind turbines are estimated to cause only around 230 thousand bird deaths annually.

Because the Titanic is 3,800m (12,500ft, or 20,833 fathoms) deep, so it's a LOT harder to get at!
Finally, the last one, with the caption "Because it's an AWFUL lot deeper!", and a little drawing of the outline of the titanic sits on the bottom, with the depth next to it.

Thank you. And that’s a very good idea! It’s amazing what you can map as aesthetics. Initially I wanted to work with font families and show a more programmatic approach to selecting the font color using {prismatic} to optimize contrast. Not enough time in 2h, but I might write it up in a blog post.
