(1/3) And that’s a wrap! Thank you to everyone who visited our stall last weekend at the Royal Canberra Show Science Extravaganza 🎪🎡 and participated in our little data visualisation experiments 📊🗳️ We had over 500 people drop by and engage with science in pop culture ‼️🤯 a MASSIVE shoutout also to our amazing volunteers who helped keep everything running amidst the chaos!

See our findings in the replies… ⬇️⬇️

What does “curating data stories” mean? In this podcast, Jane Haller (Digitales Schaudepot) and Joana Meier (Uni of Basel) discuss the process of #DataVisualisation, and how digitalisation opens up new research questions!

It’s a funny thing, but displaying information using multiple channels of information for folks with particular accessibility needs also helps everyone else, because it gives them more signals that their brain can decode in the background, even if they’re not paying perfect attention (because who, in this age of devices, is ever paying perfect attention??)

Now that I got a #datalakehouse in a #Europeancloud I want more: some actual data to query, #pyspark and notebooks and #datavisualisation. In this blogpost I get Project Jupyter Hub running, I get open data from the #EuropeanParliament and try to visualise that data in #PowerBI. Getting the connection working turned out to be an expensive affair.
