After 2 yrs on my shelf I finally read "Infographic Designers' Sketchbook". Although the layout is wonderfully done, I found the content to be a mixed bag; some #dataviz gems, but also quite dated infographics. Wish there was more explanation of thought processes of the sketches
Just finished "Programming skills for Data Science" by @mf_viz & Joel Ross. This book is an exceptionally well rounded & explained intro to the different programming skills you need for data science; git & GitHub, (lots of) R, dataviz, APIs, pinch of SQL & more. Really, 👏👏👏
Just released version 2.3 of Altair: https://t.co/NlNJJoy3cR
Mostly minor bug fixes & usability enhancements, and some big documentation improvements thanks to @palewire & others.
Give it a spin!

Cool Stars 20 opened tonight with an overview and update by George Ricker on the @NASA_TESS mission. Here is my cartoonized version. The short story: everything is operating well, and science operations began on Wednesday! #CoolStars20#CS20#TESS
(N) My new favorite constellation 😍 "Veado" (translates to ±"Deer" 🦌) from the lore of some of the indigenous peoples of South America (or so the description tells me) - Found in the Southern hemisphere
(N) Alright, the beta-version for my final data sketches month is done :D Now gathering feedback from several dataviz friends (& my dad 😏) Guessing I'll need a week to make the changes and then the final piece will be out soon, woohoo! Here's a sneak peek 🤫
The #MeerKAT inauguration today is more than the official opening of a scientific facility, it is a proud #African statement of #excellence in #science and #technology that will bear fruit for decades to come! Well done @dstgovza and everyone involved!
They did it!! This is AWESOME!!
