A quick #introduction using an obscene number of hashtags to hopefully reach people I want to be in community with! I make #art and #software and particularly like #linocuts and #embroidery and I also enjoy #visiblemending.
On the tech side my pet topics are currently #datavis (currently looking at #publictransport in my area) and #rdf #ontologies (what can we practically and ethically do with them?)
Would love to follow you if you're interested in any of these things.
Happy birthday to founder of modern nursing, social reformer, statistician, data visualization innovator and writer Florence Nightingale (1820 – 1910)!
Nightingale earned the nickname “The Lady with the Lamp” during the Crimean War, from a phrase used by The Times, describing her as a “ministering angel” making her solitary rounds of the hospital at night with “a little lamp in her hand”. 🧵1/

Most recent #CDC dataset, updated late Friday, omits Nowcast for the most recent four-week period, "[d]ue to low numbers of sequences being reported to CDC", but does finally acknowledge spread of Cicada BA.3.2.
Stratus-Eleventy XFG.1.1 continued to hold out in March-April reporting, as other Stratus lineages lost ground to three-pronged spread of Cicada, Nimbus NB.1.8.1 / PQ family, and seemingly-resurgent JN.1.11 + FLuQE, lead by the XFZ recombinant.
Note that, in absence of robust data from states, CDC has given up modeling historical estimates, instead giving only shares of reported sequences.
Raj's dashboard, updated end of March, showed XFG.1.1 at a quarter share, for the last half of the most recent reporting period, while Cicada grandkid RE.2 made a significant appearance.
That said, said GISAID data was dominated by paltry submissions from New York (171), Minnesota (85), Maryland (84), Nebraska (53), and Arizona (17).

This data story by #Tagesspiegel just won a European Digital Publishing Award in data journalism:
In 2024, @lehmann and I co-taught Mapping Cities – Making Cities to students of #InterfaceDesign and #UrbanFutures and one team asked: is access to a pool a matter of privilege? This question sparked an in-depth investigation that led to a surprising finding…
