Liverpool are the champions of England for the 20th time. You might be happy about that or you might be angry or indifferent. Regardless, to mark MY weekend of celebrations, I'm offering a 20% discount for my July data visualisation masterclass in London! visualisingdata.com/2025/05/cele...

If you are seeking world-class, cutting-edge training in data visualisation and are able to get to London early July, I have a perfect suggestion... My next 2-day 'Masterclass' training event is taking place over 2-3 July and is open to anyone and everyone! visualisingdata.com/2025/03/new-...

Belated thank you to my hosts and participants from the data science teams across HMRC for a ton of fun in this week’s masterclass, happily delivered back in Leeds. Next up is a champions visit to Liverpool, back to Dublin, then on to work things in Durham (North Carolina), London and Cambridge

So @driven-by-data.net just launched SveltePlot, which merges my 2 fav things in #DataViz: Svelte and the Grammar of Graphics. 100% going to use this! Site: svelteplot.dev Gregor's slides: www.vis4.net/slides/svelt... #SvelteSummit

Ok, here's a Monday wish. I'd like to get both of my summer Binoculars to Binomials cohorts filled up this week. This would significantly lower my anxiety levels, which are currently... very elevated. www.jerthorp.me/learning 📊🪶❤️
