I know we have DALYs to show years of life lost. But at a population level, it feels abstract and hard to empathise with. I like what the Plum team has done. Using insurance claims data to show financial burden of heart diseases. Also, such cool data viz! datalabs.plumhq.com/heart-health/

Playing with OKLCH vs HSB for data visualisation. My current mental model: Lightness ≈ Brightness, Chroma ≈ Saturation. Feels like gradients are where OKLCH really matters. tonyjoyk.github.io/oklch-vs-hsb...

Didn't expect India’s human development indicators to be so close to Uzbekistan and Myanmar (except democracy index. Way to give power to the people India!) www.givingwhatwecan.org/birth-lottery

In public health, we love strategy meetings. Someone goes, ‘Next quarter, how do we improve the health of three million patients?’ And everyone’s like: ‘We’ll build an AI solution! We’ll launch a new app! We’ll fund local partners!’

Some conversations make you fall all over in love with your job again and others make you want to go to the jobs section on LinkedIn.

are nested tabs actually discoverable? It feels like lazy rabbit hole that no one will ever visit.

as part of a team trying to use AI to improve patient outcomes...it's really hard to hold back the urge to throw every problem at OpenAI. PHCs don't have enough meds, but sure let's make an AI chatbot to convince patients to visit the facility to collect medicines. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Who's done the Bara Bhangal hiking route in Himachal Pradesh...what should one expect late October? This guy on Wikiloc hiked 100k from Manali to Bir and decided to loop 100k back to Manali via another route. www.wikiloc.com/hiking-trail...
