Tableau, Travel and Triathlons
For week 41, Andy chose a dataset about donations accepted by political parties, published by the electoral commission. The visualisation is an interactive Tableau dashboard, but it’s far from best practices and screams for a makeover
There is a dataset we’ve had in our backlog for months and I’m excited that Andy decided to use it for this week. It’s about book checkouts at the Seattle Public Library, particularly those of work by James Patterson.
September 1st is the first day of autumn, meteorologically speaking. So I picked a dataset about how Americans feel about the different seasons.
The original viz and data comes from YouGov.
This week we’re looking at a viz and data collected by Spencer Philips Hey, who brought together years worth of data about clinical trials and all their published details.
By now we all know that the environment and how we treat it is something we can’t ignore any longer and we seriously need to change what we’re doing if we want our children and grand children to have a livable planet.
Alcohol seems to be involved in every major celebration but equally in a typical Friday afternoon and for #MakeoverMonday in this week we’ll look at alcohol consumption.
I’ve noticed the community putting in the extra effort when a dataset ‘matters’ from a societal, political, environmental or ethical perspective.
So for this week we’re looking at the topic of sleep.
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.
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.
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.
