1854: John Snow’s cholera map changed epidemiology forever! By mapping cholera cases in London, he traced the outbreak to a contaminated water pump, a landmark moment in public health, and pioneered a visual approach to understanding disease spread. This is where data met detective work! #visualizedata #visualization #science #dataviz #datascience
I am back to Mastodon and have been toying around with it for a few weeks now. I think I finally found the community I want to be a part of (hci.social) and will be moving there soon

When following back people here, I’m noticing a lot of people haven’t posted anything yet.

If you can’t think of anything to write just yet, then do consider just reblogging (=retweeting!) good content that you see around. You could start with this post, for example, to encourage more people to start sharing content around here.

BTW, as we get the Bylines publications going on here, that will provide ample good news content for the community. 👍👍

Great article.

"Musk thinks he bought a tech company, but he’s actually bought a community of users, and that's where its value lies..."

So says Prof Paul Bernal - Professor of Information Technology Law at the University of East Anglia School of Law.

Why Elon Musk – the Chief Twit – is in trouble

Musk thinks he bought a tech company, but he’s actually bought a community of users, and that's where its value lies.

Hi! Reply here with who you are and what you are working on, so we can e-meet!
