Added past lead sampling to the interactive, think it helps add context

I added a side-by-side comparison to this prototype I'm working on that shows how much lead is in a water system

Radial charts aren't popular, but I think they do a good job of showing how things distribute across a cycle

I drew a cup of water using a particle system. Don't think I'm there yet, but the general idea is that more orange = more lead

A while back, I made a map of detention facility populations over time A huge part of the story was showing how the populations changed over time, and it was nice to work out that interaction cuz it adds a lot of context

something i've noticed in sci-fi films is how common it is to see data viz used as a tool how the data viz looks and works is usually abstract and superficial to the plot, but its cool to see it used to get to a solution/understand a situation

Mixing illustration and web design is my personal white whale, and my portfolio is still one of my favorite (and I would argue most successful) attempts #dataviz #programming #creativecode

What type of empathy can we foster over a screen? As bystanders, we have access to the videos and pics of those actively going through climate disasters - like bad air quality. What if we could try to mimic their breathing conditions through other media? Here's my latest #dataviz #programming

Harvest calendars have always been a particularly useful chart for me, so I finally made one of my own This one is for citrus, and it shows how different varieties of citrus have different weather tolerances. Not exactly comprehensive, but a decent start #dataviz #foodscience

E-waste represents about 2% of landfill trash, but it accounts for 70% of toxic waste due to hazardous substances like lead, mercury, and zinc #dataviz

Since the 80s, I feel like America has been on the fence between eating refined sugar vs. eating corn syrup as our primary sweetener. Both have their pros and cons but 80+ pounds a year was a surprising stat to read #dataviz

I looked up the numbers and have to say that phones use a relatively small amount of energy compared to other devices that do the same thing, namely laptops and tablets #dataviz

Made these radar charts on fish liver vs foie gras as part of a larger blog post. Fish liver is a lot different than other types of liver because it also has a parallel goal of storing fat (alongside helping the metabolism), so it ends up storing more fat-soluble vitamins #dataviz

juweek @juweek.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

As I look for healthier alternatives to sugar, charting the nutrients in different types of charts has been a very helpful exercise #dataviz

I personally am mixed on illustration in maps; it helps make finding important info easier but I can’t help but get distracted when I’m looking at them. This time spiral is a good example of this tension. I like it more than I don't, but its a balance #dataviz

since the introduction of the iphone in about 2008, the internet has increasingly been accessed via the phone, and I feel like you can tell by how media is created today #dataviz

Rarely does a brand have as much consistency as the root vegetable. I feel like all of them - carrots, potatoes, beets - all give off a certain vibe of hardiness and sturdiness and being good for a hearty stew Really appropriate for autumn #dataviz

I'm currently doing my research on the freshwater supply in the world, and while I don't know the full context, this seems like bad news #dataviz

Apparently, amino acids can change during chemical processes like fermentation. I took an example of milk and yogurt, and while the two breakdowns are very similar, you can see slight variations in some amounts (eg glutamic acid, leucine, etc) #dataviz

Pretty disappointing that the US grid is made up mostly of coal and natural gas in 2026, especially with the expected increase in energy demand in the next few years #dataviz

Here's another argument why high fructose corn syrup sucks; barely any vitamins and minerals Reminder that not all sweeteners are created equally #dataviz

juweek @juweek.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

Although the data is kind of murky, these numbers help put into perspective how different internet tasks use different amounts of energy. It's helped me contextualize the conversations surrounding AI and its environmental costs #dataviz

When looking at the difference between the land use for cashews vs other nuts, a few answers come to mind - the cashew tree is a large spreading tree that requires a lot of spacing - cashew demand skyrocketed in the 1990s - production increased in a few countries, from Vietnam to Ghana #dataviz

Almond milk is my favorite alternative to whole milk, but PSA thats its like 97% water #dataviz

A sweetener is a sweetener, so there's only so much nutrition you can expect to receive from a serving Still, it's safe to say that maple syrup beats the others in offering at least some kind of benefit... #dataviz

Wrote a blog on the many differences between data centers, one of which is the amount of electricity used for cooling It's defined by a metric called PUE, and apparently, the lower the PUE (eg the lower the cooling costs), the better the data center #dataviz

I wrote a few weeks ago on the complexity of bacon's classification of a food; should it be treated as a fat or a protein? The answer is that its a little bit of both. Here's a comparison of bacon with other fencesitters #dataviz

I don't know why I'm surprised that neither granulated or brown sugar have any moisture...but here you have it #dataviz

The conversations around AI and its environmental impact has always been confusing for me to follow. After reading a few blogs, here's my attempt at charting the impact on water Unfortunately (or fortunately), AI is not the biggest user #dataviz

This list of amino acids and their corresponding taste profiles is so interesting It's so cool to realize that so much of cooking and food science is chemistry #dataviz

juweek @juweek.bsky.social · 23/03/2026

Made this chart showing the minerals in different forms of cabbage. As a reminder, salt is a mineral No surprise that the raw version seems to have the healthiest micronutrient profile #dataviz

Made a voronoi chart of liver proteins. Something i learned; a lot of livers are high in glutamic acid; glutamate is central in metabolism, and the liver is the body’s nitrogen-processing factory When amino acids are broken down, their nitrogen forms glutamate #dataviz

juweek @juweek.bsky.social · 11/03/2026

I wrote a few words about the environmental impact of data centers. Lots of charts and graphs in this piece. Hopefully this helps contextualize things, because I will admit I was so confused before I wrote this #dataviz gourmetdata.substack.com/p/how-could-...

How could data centers affect food production?

Looking at the impact of data centers, with hard data and lots of charts

A series of radar charts comparing the vitamins offered in plant milks, and how much of your daily recommended intake is met by 100g It looks like oat milk offers the least, and the other three are optimized for different things. Personally, I've switched over to almond milk mostly #dataviz

juweek @juweek.bsky.social · 10/03/2026

Syrups are basically liquid sugar, so I charted the sugar-water ratio to visualize how it differs across different plant/tree species. It's not a comprehensive list, but it's something that's helping me find a better alternative to white sugar because...idk, it's white sugar. #dataviz

Charting these graphs about liver and can't get over the fact that they look like stained-glass windows #dataviz

Here's a pretty-looking flow chart of bacon's nutrients...not gonna lie, that's a lot of sodium #dataviz

What's the most popular nut in the world? Well, the data is a bit sparse, but it seems like there's a three-way race happening with cashews, walnuts, and almonds #dataviz

juweek @juweek.bsky.social · 03/03/2026

this recent radar chart on liver got a shout out in datawrapper's newsletter 😄 here it is for y'all's viewing pleasure reminder that liver is really healthy because, in a lot of animals, it stores a bunch of vitamins #datavis

juweek @juweek.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

I compared eel and salmon together for a proof-of-concept of these flowcharts. The two have a lot in common - they're both high in water, for example - but the differences are there, if not nuanced. No surprise to anyone that eel is a little fattier #dataviz

100

juweek @juweek.bsky.social · 27/02/2026

Not all salmon is created equally, as demonstrated by these radar charts. I made them a few years back, and while I would change a few things, still interesting to see. What the hell is going on with sockeye salmon? #dataviz

000

juweek @juweek.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

A treemap isn't the clearest way to compare values with each other, but it is fun way to look at data. here are all the amino acids found in raw pink salmon, and you can see the list is pretty distributed #dataviz

000

juweek @juweek.bsky.social · 25/02/2026

This isn't as comprehensive of a list as it probably should be, but the trend is suggesting that liver has more vitamins than other parts of the body. and, biologically , we know that's true

020

juweek @juweek.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

Is bacon a protein? This is a metaphorical discussion more than a scientific one, but that idea is simple; some animal products are fats, some are proteins. No one would consider a butter sandwich to be valid...but where does the line actually begin and end? Is a BLT a valid sandwich? #dataviz
