@leighthinks I teach graphic design. 30% of their grade are labs and homework worth 1 point each due at the end of class and beginning of next class. If they don’t come they still need to do these. They won’t know how to do them if they don’t come to class. They need to tell me in advance.

First State of the City after the Pandemic in #gburgmd that my office gets to organize. New add-ons included performance from Anastasia and violin duet at reception by students from Victor Litz.

@danmall It would really fun if you can get a really bad client. The kind of client that says they showed the logo to their cousins and they thought it needed more sass. Or the one that tells you to put 3 logos that look totally different together bc they can’t decide.

@novalsi Best movie I’ve ever seen!

@jstrelioff If only more leadership would understand that we, the designers, don’t just make things pretty but contribute to building the brand and the values it communicates.

If you are wondering how big the Chinese spy balloon was... Here is a chart from #nbcnews #dataviz

[Samantha Sekellick @SSekellick]

@CoffindafferFBI @jackie_minehart Great segment! I showed the chart that @jackie_minehart did to my Data Viz class yesterday. The students didn't know about the trial or the case, so that's interesting. I gave them the option to choose True Crime data for their final project.

[Samantha Sekellick @SSekellick]

@CoffindafferFBI I’m showing that chart to my data visualization class. It’s a great example of “change over time” Is there any other raw data related?

@f_l_o_u_r_i_s_h Looking for a GeoJson file of Maryland counties. Any leads?

@ELGL50 @CityofSanRafael Thanks for sharing about what makes the City of San Rafael a great place to work. I love the Innovation Labs idea to bring employees together to grow together. I would love to have a similar program at the City of Gaithersburg.

@novalsi I'm ramping up my Linkedin, I heard it's the new thing. Might have to start using TikTok.

(3/3) If you have a real-life example, please share it with me. It may make it into my upcoming blog post or my next conference presentation. You can read the whole study here: https://t.co/wXOaHQseot

(1/3) "How to Critique and be a Good Human" is one of my favorite lectures to present to my students. I start by sharing a research study that concluded it takes 5 positive interactions to counteract a negative one in the most productive teams. #designcritique #americanuniversity

(2/3) They laugh when I recommend they try with their partners. Then I share how I apply this technique at home with my husband. I can tell you one thing. It works! #MarriedLife #PositivePsychology
