End of the year! ✨🎄🎇 So here we've got a special Data Vis Dispatch for you: it comes from the whole Datawrapper team. We're sharing our favorite visualizations of 2024. Take a look here 🎁  blog.datawrapper.de/data-vis-dispat… and tell us: what were your favorites?
Table of the scientific classification of the flower Dryas octopetala annotated with a handmade illustration. Created by Eleni from the Datawrapper team.Screenshot of I “Made a Graph of Wikipedia... This Is What I Found”. Shown is a network graph of all Wikipedia articles and the links between them, resulting in a colourful representation of the world's collective knowledge. Among the most interesting findings are so-called communities, groups of articles that are more closely linked to each other than the rest of the site, represented by the individual colours. Published on YouTube by adumb.This image shows a spectrogram of three sound types: elephant rumbles (mostly infrasonic, red), human speaking (audible range, blue), and bat noises (ultrasonic, yellow and blue), with frequency increasing from bottom to top on a logarithmic scale. Published by Financial Times.Map of downtown Singapore with little 3D butterflies added where butterflies have been spotted in the area. Different colored butterflies represent different species.

If you consider yourself an established data viz practitioner, please please please consider applying! Especially #D3js people! There are always way more mentees looking for d3 support in this program than there are mentors who could help.

A weekly update on daily russian personnel and equipment losses in Ukraine are already available on my "calendar" charts. Not sure about the name of the chart, but the calendar seems like a good option. Interactive #observable notebook: observablehq.com/@romansverdan/ru-losses-in-ukraine #dataviz

I often use #Svelte #Scroller in #dataviz projects, and only recently discovered that it supports custom queries as a prop, and can work with any kind of HTML tags in the foreground, not just sections as it is by default. It's time to say goodbye to ugly, non-semantic "Untitled Section"
