@duluca Watching at home. The track and complex looks amazing!

@CollegeBoard What the hell college board! We just drove an hour to Fauquier HS to take the SAT this morning. The janitor just told everyone here that the test was cancelled at 8am! No listing on the test closure site. No email from you! This is terrible service!

4. So if we want to bring about real change, the choice isn’t between protest and politics––we have to do both. We have to mobilize to raise awareness, and we have to organize and cast our ballots to make sure that we elect candidates who will act on reform.

Added this to my reading list for June.

For all the allies out there that have asked how they can be better allies, this is an AMAZING resource.

Doctors: To avoid getting coronavirus, stay inside and don’t interact with people often.
Me, an introvert: super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Annnnd I just downloaded Tik Tok. Yep. Clearly I need help doing #SocialDistancing well.

@ExcellaCo ‘s own @abmakulec continues to advocate for responsible COVID-19 data viz and now advising Tableau, a #dataviz leader.

[Tableau @tableau]

While visualizations are powerful for communicating information, they also have the potential to misinform. @abmakulec shares what you should consider when visualizing #COVID19 data: https://t.co/8MqhnwgOJY

Huge respect for @RepKatiePorter this is exactly what is needed right now.

[Team Katie @TeamKatiePorter]

I did the math: a full battery of coronavirus testing costs at minimum $1,331.

I also did the legal research: the Administration has the authority to make testing free for every American TODAY.

I secured a commitment from a high-level Trump official that they’d actually do it.

[Amanda Makulec MPH @abmakulec]

The stakes are high around how we communicate about the #COVID19 epidemic to the wider public. With @tableau, @JohnsHopkins, and others making curated datasets available, I'm hoping this article causes #dataviz designers to pause before hitting publish. https://t.co/gIjVpOX9Ou

A well-recommended link to visualizations of COVID-19 cases. The first table puts things into perspective for all of us.

My boss @jgallimore CTIO at @ExcellaCo sparking discussion with provocative ideas on this morning’s @ACTIAC DevOps panel.

Great talk by Andrew Schafer of Red Hat on DevOps beginning, evolution and connecting the dots. @ACTIAC @ExcellaCo

Very relevant guidance on visualizing disease data from our own ⁦@abmakulec⁩ https://t.co/2N9xW1nNDv

[Claire Walsh @datanurturer]

When is there too much data? Never - if you know how to ingest, curate, analyze and present it! All data adds color and detail to a story. If someone says they don’t want more data - ask why. #alldatahasvalue #growyourdatasavvy
