Monroe. N. Work compiled most of the data on African Americans @TuskegeeUniv starting in 1908 to the 1940s. He was a data pioneer that helped fuel the cause of racial justice with facts. #BlackHistoryMonth /🧵: https://t.co/dE7sBPcKiy

Rice's Fondren Library is the only place in North America where you can see a working replica of the printing press used by Romantic poet and artist William Blake. See it in action, along with recreations of Blake’s masterworks, March 1. https://t.co/kKMhHktiUw

We've added a new data story to the #Data4Kids page (#dataviz folks will recognize it). Free slides, data, and details for instructors across multiple content areas to help teach kids (K-12) more about data, data privacy, and data visualization. | https://t.co/vlVh4SLGH1

Next week, I'm joining @NORDP_official friends at the Rice U. Visual Communication Symposium. I’ve been wanting to go to this symposium for years, and now I am—as a SPEAKER! I also learned that my talk is immediately following @jschwabish. (Shameless fan moment—buy his book!)

[ComSciCon Houston @ComSciConHou]

Our first panel, Science in Multimedia, was all about how to use media (visual, written, oral, and more!) to convey science to the public and to other scientists. Thank you to @FromTheLabBench, Ryan Nini, and Kimberly Mankiewics for traveling to Houston for our event!

[ComSciCon Houston @ComSciConHou]

Time for our "Bringing People Together" panel about how to bridge the gaps between scientists and the community. Thank you to Maria Bottazzi @mebottazzi, Chris Volpe @ScienceIsHope, and Alex Ip @AlexIp718 for joining us, it is an honor to have all of you!
