MakeoverMonday | Week 22 | 2019: CO2 Emissions per capita
In my mind there is no bigger issue right now than that of climate change. Because it affects all of us. All 7 billion people.
Makeover Monday | Week 21 | 2019: Fatal Bear Attacks in North America
For this week Andy chose a dataset about bear attacks that ended fatally. My makeover focused on creating a very simple bar chart.
Makeover Monday | Week 20 | 2019: Rhino Poaching in South Africa
After a few weeks of more in-depth datasets I decided to use a dataset that was shorter and simpler, with the option for people to add more context should they wish to do so.
Makeover Monday | Week 19 | 2019: Major League Baseball Most Cost Effective Batters
For week 19 Andy picked baseball data and I’ll be the first to admit that I expected it to not be fun, because it’s a topic I know nothing about and I wasn’t quite ready to spend hours learning about baseball. Until I did.
Makeover Monday | Week 18 | 2019: ISS Spacewalks
When I came across a dataset about spacewalks at the International Space Station, I knew I had to use it for Makeover Monday, especially because there were so many awesome vizzes from a previous NASA dataset about solar eclipses.
Makeover Monday | Week 17 | 2019: Stephen Curry’s Stadium Popcorn Rankings
Andy found a great dataset for this week’s challenge: rankings of stadium popcorn at NBA stadiums across the US.
I created a viz that’s very similar to the original, because I liked it already
Makeover Monday | Week 16 | 2019
For this week’s makeover, we’re collaborating with RJ Andrews on his recent book ‘Info We Trust’. RJ gave me a fun word cloud and the data behind the 270 most common word-forms in the book.
Makeover Monday | Week 15 | 2019: Ranking States by Fiscal Condition
For this week’s Makeover, Andy picked a dataset that looks at the fiscal health of all 50 US states. Where do different states place in the ranking?
Mindfulness stuff
In an effort to ensure my emotional and mental wellbeing (because I’m pretty sorted with the eating and exercise stuff), I’ve built new habits into my day.
Makeover Monday | Week 14 | 2019: What kind of waste appears on UK beaches?
We as humans have a poor track record when it comes to looking after the planet we live on. Quite frankly, we’re awful at it and plastic waste is a massive contributor to the problem.
