@mikiebarb @amychozick Looks like Amy believed her a bit too much. Might have thought to mention that Holmes didn’t really fail; she decided to fake the data she wanted to have and sold it to people to use to make critical health decisions. @amychozick was played for a fool or thinks fraud isn’t so bad

@okidoki_boki If you haven’t read them, the Thursday Next series by Jasper Fford is, I think, would be something you would enjoy. Thursday Next (she, detective) lives in a literature-crazy England. She enters the original Jane Eyre manuscript to stop a criminal from killing Jane.

@okidoki_boki It totally does suck. I had one while I was in grad school — in 2014. The feelings were overwhelming and complicated…and we didn’t even want a baby originally. Allow yourself to feel all the feelings. And be kind to yourself. Lots of hugs!

@epistemographer If no one has responded yet, perhaps we can chat? I sent you a message on LinkedIn. Would love to tell you all about our framework for creating highly engaging learning at scale online. The holy grail!

Thank you, @TriMyData for pointing the discussion in Viz Review towards the complexity of the 2021, Week 16 dataset. I struggled with choice paralysis quite a bit — there were so many possibilities. Choice paralysis and being a novice Tableau user don’t mix well. 🤣

@VizWizBI @TriMyData I FIGURED IT OUT! All my trouble was because I was setting my “before” and “after” categories as discrete and not continuous. I am not going to win any prizes with my viz, but I am determined to turn my small little story in. Thank you both for taking the time to reply to me. ❤️

[Swati B. Carr, Ph.D. @swatibcarr]

@TriMyData what do I do when I have taken the time to understand and explore my data, have a story I want to tell, but am limited by my beginner-level Tableau skills? I ranked US travel hubs in 2020 before and after a date and want to create a slope graph but am stuck. :(

[Swati B. Carr, Ph.D. @swatibcarr]

Bit ironic to create so much cognitive load on a question about reducing cognitive load in data visualisations. I had to draw each of these out to pick an answer, and the answer is still “it depends on the data” #wtfdataviz

Even with the explosion of STEM courses at UC Berkeley, there are far more courses taught in the humanities than engineering or natural sciences.

@DCBPhDV2 I hear you. It’s cat vomit for me. Usually still warm. And right at the spot where my feet land when I first step out from bed. Wonder if the cats thinks of it as a present from him to me.

@ThomasJTobin That GIF has surely given at least one person a headache if not a seizure. But totally agree with your statement.

@ajai_dandekar I learned the degree sign while writing my MS thesis. Thank goodness, I wrote my doctoral dissertation in LaTeX. 😅
