Charming spring data blooms in R!
Robin Rohwer@RobinRohwer24 Mar 2023
Mom asked, "I wonder when cherries bloom in Japan?" So I found 1200 years of data online and made her a plot.

My design on this month's @NatureBiotech blooms to depict a lineage reconstruction of over 235 million sequences. Based on Fig. 2 from "Deep distributed computing to reconstruct extremely large lineage trees" lead by @nzmyachie @yachielab nature.com/articles/s41587-0…
Phylogeny estimation at scale. Impression of a phylogenetic tree. Konno et al. present a highly efficient distributed computing method for the reconstruction of evolutionary trees from very large datasets. Design by Martin Krzywinski.

I've compiled a catalogue of all my journal and book cover designs: mkweb.bcgsc.ca/covers/ Most have a writeup about the joys and headaches of putting a data peg in an art hole. #datavis #design

It's never too early for a #PiDay2021 remix of the forest of digits. It's lights out with the Bat Cave edition and a deep dive into Pi with the Underwater edition. Same digits you love, but cavernous and benthic. mkweb.bcgsc.ca/pi/piday2021/…

Want to learn more about technical details of color? Designing for colorblindness and confused about lines of confusion? Want to see the invisible color at the copunctal point that you can never see? See my color resource page mkweb.bcgsc.ca/color

Happy #PiApproximationDay! Up to 20% more accurate than #PiDay. Read about a universe in which Pi = 22/7. Learn how fast you need to travel for relativistic length contraction to create a similar effect (spoiler: about 12km/s) mkweb.bcgsc.ca/pi/pi.approxi… #math

Happy #TauDay. It's twice as good as #PiDay but only on paper. This video shows 1,619 digits of Tau "growing" in a treemap -- a short pocket version based on my work with @maxcooper and @nickcobby that used Pi.

My reflections on a very simple chart with a heart that is in the right place and a mind that is elsewhere. Story, order and legibility first and color later, or maybe never. Thanks to @ianbosdet for sending it my way (what's the source?) #datavis #nocolor
