THREAD: The FDA has made it difficult to find where medications are made. Today we're changing that with our latest tool. With Rx Inspector, it’s possible to see your drug’s manufacturing facility and what the FDA found during its inspections. Here's how you can use it. 1/

Republishing my all-time favorite tweet. I built an interactive map that dynamically reclassifies based on visible geometries. As you move around, the color ramp changes to show you an interesting graphic wherever you look. Still haven't found the right use for it, but it was a fun experiment.
