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

Getting back in my design engineer bag, and I made this fun flowy text animation

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

was actually just thinking to myself the other day that the visuals for this look great

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

yup, AirNow's data is pretty decent for the US! www.airnow.gov?

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

what an interesting read. as a data worker myself, definitely makes me take a look at the impact of my work thanks for sharing!

one of the coolest projects i've seen so far; a globe and dataset of a global root network

wow, this is amazing! what an interesting view of our globe love that there's also a dataset ❤️

what an alarming thing to see. but also leads me to believe that the congregating of progress/resources at the top is happening both at the micro and macro level

your work just reminded me that reuters launched a climate dashboard The world is better thanks to you climate experts! ty www.reuters.com/graphics/CLI...

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

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

yea, i was hoping to find more recent data! and yea, it's scary to see how much our time usage has changed

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

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

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

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
