The "designer friendly" Nightingale recap of my work with Cindy Xiong.

We show how well-intentioned, equity-focused dataviz can actually backfire. We find that popular chart choices can trigger unconscious social biases, reinforcing systemic racism.

This is somehow longer than the actual paper, but we think it's a BIG topic for anyone doing data-advocacy or visualizing data about people.

+ stunning illustrations from @Allitorban

I'd love to hear y'alls thoughts!
