Jetzt wo die Verantwortlichen für den Blackout in Spanien feststehen: Ob die Kollegen, die vorschnell die Erneuerbaren verantwortlich gemacht hatten, ihre Kommentare jetzt wohl aktualisieren…?

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? Don't do pie charts. They are a bad solution most of the time. Except when they aren't, then they are a good choice. Learn to tell the difference :-) #dataviz

It's the week of the UN Ocean Conference #UNOC3. One goal is to reinforce the target to protect 30% of the ocean and land by 2030 (30x30). Currently, only 8.4 % of the world's oceans are designated marine protected areas.

Brilliant, yet painful job by the @data.ft.com team to put this (in)humanitarian crisis into perspective. What Gazans had as land per person before the war. And what Gazans might end up with having. #gaza #dataviz

Better world maps for mobile! Despite years of mobile-first design, there’s been little experimentation in this area. So we designed our own at NZZ – and validated it in a large user study. Summary of the paper: jonasoesch.ch/articles/the... 1/3

So much to love in the scrollytelling — the ternary plot, the depth of the data, the findings — but my favourite part is the explanation and the text in general. 📊 Remember, a chart doesn't have to be understood in 3 seconds. It should reward the effort you put into understanding it.

BREAKING from @science.org: The Trump admin is seeking to kill nearly all climate research at NOAA, its climate science agency. Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.
