- If you're early in your career and you feel overwhelmed and you're being asked to make fancy charts that someone saw on Twitter, you're not alone. Take a moment and read this story, it's the best summary of that overwhelmed feeling and how to deal with it.
- Whenever you see @NadiehBremer's work you always ask yourself, "How did she do that?!" and "Where do the ideas come from?!" Well, we asked her and it turns out the answers are just as good as you might expect!
- "Making maps has become the modern equivalent of the shift from typewriter pools to word processing... But cartography isn't innate in our ability to communicate graphically. There's a language, a syntax, and a grammar." @kennethfield's exhaustive intro.
- For the last week or so, our members have been discussing historical #datavisualization. Here's a distillation of some of those conversations written by @duswain, including beautiful examples of historical dataviz. medium.com/data-visualiza…
- After having explained how to read box plots to thousands of workshop participants @nickdesb has concluded that this classic chart type is unnecessarily unintuitive, hard to grasp & prone to misinterpretation. Explore some alternatives with him: nightingaledvs.com/ive-stopped-us… #dataviz
- We're excited to announce that we're partnering with Medium to develop our publication focused on #datavisualization for professionals and the general public. #dataviz is more important than ever, and this partnership will help us reach a larger audience.

- ✨The Information is Beautiful Awards will return in 2022, hosted by DVS✨ We’re excited to collaborate with @infobeautiful as the new home for one of the biggest awards programs in #dataviz, with 8 years of celebrating excellence in our field. (1/4)
