I recently taught a course on #dataviz. As someone who was interested in the subject but had not formally learned it before, I learned a lot along the way! I'm going to be sharing some fun and useful tidbits I learned here.

I've had a wonderful time hanging out with my fellow @UNSWScience STEMM champions and @AstroKirsten today!

I am begging Australians to learn how to say "El Niño" and "La Niña" correctly.

#dataviz tip 4: How should you balance simplicity and complexity when making a plot? A thread. 1/19

[Kristen Hunter @stats_hunter]

Personally, I appreciate having learned about Tufte's principles so that I look at plots with a more critical eye. I try to consider whether each element in a plot is necessary or not--even if I do end up keeping some unnecessary elements in the end. 18/19
