New article! I wrote down the Excel techniques & formulas I use the most to clean up data sets (so that I can use them for #dataviz). Which techniques are you using all the time? Which ones did I miss? Which ones should I add? https://blog.datawrapper.de/prepare-and-clean-up-data-for-data-visualization/

Who wants to become my coworker? We're twelve people who help the world create better #dataviz. You could be one of us: https://blog.datawrapper.de/datawrapper-hiring-vector-export-developer/

What are your favorite tiny tools when working with data?

Here are three examples:
→ http://ucbvislab.github.io/d3-deconstructor/ to get the data out of d3 visualizations
→ https://shancarter.github.io/mr-data-converter/ convert CSV to JSON
→ https://countries.zeto.io input country name, output country codes (by @zeto@twitter.com)

Today is the day! #visber Berliners, I'm very much looking forward to seeing you there in 2 hours: https://www.meetup.com/Data-Visualization-Berlin/events/264315597/

So happy the Data Vis Meetup Berlin is happening again: https://www.meetup.com/Data-Visualization-Berlin/events/264315597/ #visber

🎉🎉🎉 I'm super happy to introduce you to my new website: https://lisacharlotterost.de/

Including
→ all the talks I've given
→ all articles I've written (incl. the best @Datawrapper@twitter.com ones!)
→ some #dataviz I designed

Here I explain why & how I built it: https://lisacharlotterost.de/newsite

Until the end of August, the @datavisclub@twitter.com will work through "Observe, Collect, Draw!" by @stefpos@twitter.com & @giorgialupi@twitter.com. I wrote about why you should join us here: https://blog.datawrapper.de/datavis-bookclub-stefanie-posavec-giorgia-lupi-observe-collect-draw/ #observecollectdraw #deardata

I thought it's fun to document my process in the following tweets:

I built a Datawrapper chart that doesn't look like a Datawrapper chart anymore 🤔

This is also the last Weekly Chart that I wrote...weekly. Starting next week, all of us start charting & writing. I explain the reasons here: https://blog.datawrapper.de/weekly-chart-why-you-will-hear-more-from-other-datawrapper-employees/

🚨 JOB ALERT 🚨

Hi! Do you want to work with me every single day? (Well, 4 days a week.) Do you want to live in a world in which more people create beautiful charts? Do you like improving metrics, testing, and writing about #dataviz?

New blog post! In which I criticize an Economist chart, and then feel bad for criticizing it: https://blog.datawrapper.de/weekly-chart-greenland-ice-melting-global-warming-2019/

I just came home after two weeks of vacation – and immediately had the pleasure to read two great @Datawrapper@twitter.com Weekly Charts by @sjockers@twitter.com & @sto3psl@twitter.com:

Week 1: https://blog.datawrapper.de/weekly-chart-eu-election-turnout/
Week 2: https://blog.datawrapper.de/weekly-chart-mcu-locations/

Makes me so happy to read them. Thank you, Simon and Fabian!

After more than a year (!), I finally wrote another episode of the "What to consider..."-series. This time I talk about the do's and don'ts of using tables within articles: https://blog.datawrapper.de/tables/

Arrow plots with tooltips 😍 I think the visual design could be a bit better executed (colors, typo, symbols), but I'm in love with the idea. By @NatGeo@twitter.com, via @flowingdata@twitter.com: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/foodfeatures/diet-similarity/

A beautiful venue, inspiring talks, awesome sketchnotes (thank you, @apilapepita@twitter.com!), meeting lots of new people – what a great, great @vizknowledge@twitter.com conference 2019 here in Finland! Thanks for having me, and thanks for the flawless organization. #vk19

Even if you don't speak German, have a look at that #dataviz beauty by @zeitonline@twitter.com: https://www.zeit.de/politik/deutschland/2019-05/ost-west-wanderung-abwanderung-ostdeutschland-umzug

It has everything:
😍 animated maps with annotation
😍 small multiples
😍 zoomed in line charts
😍 beautiful dot circles

The best interactive story I've seen lately.

I had some fun looking for examples of callout lines in news graphics for a new post: https://blog.datawrapper.de/locatormap-calloutlines/ Thanks to @nytgraphics@twitter.com, @ReutersGraphics@twitter.com, @washingtonpost@twitter.com graphics team and especially @BBGVisualData@twitter.com for using so many great swoopy & straight lines pointing to things!

Really like the illustrations & logos by Daren Thomas Magee: https://www.realfunwow.com/ I'd love to see #dataviz in that style.
