A viz I've worked on with my step dad after a dinner conversation.... How many miles are in that steak?!
Looking at how much CO2 1 kg of beef produces in terms of miles driven, absolutely blown away by the numbers.
A change in diet can do a world of good!

After discussing trying to eat less meat with my parents and looking at the CO2 data from a previous Makeover Monday the question was asked "How many miles does that mean I can drive?"
So I went into @tableau and did some calculations and couldn't believe the figures....

UK Birds in decline
Did you know the Tree Sparrow has seen it's numbers dwindle by 96% since 1970? That's the equivalent of the UK losing 63,984,000 people. We MUST do more to protect our wildlife. Colour scheme inspired by

I'm running a webinar at 12:30 tomorrow (Weds 16th Dec) on the use of Alteryx to set up weekly paired 'Coffee Chats' for the team to keep up with each other, if you're interested find out more here: meetup.com/Lets-talk-Data/ev…
These chats could help your team get talking!
I did a thing; had an idea of something that could be cool, it was kinda cool, made it look mildly cool.
I really like the shape of the developing countries, with the wide bottom, thin top. The shape of some middle eastern countries is scary....

Proud to have been coached by @Datajedininja! Freaking amazing, well done Carl!
Pretty big moment for me when I see my @OReillyMedia book for sale on Amazon for the 1st time. Available as an e-book now, print version to come in Sept.

And if anyone is interested in the Summer Statement announced on Wednesday about the UK's financial plan to recover from the pandemic, I created an infographic summarising the contents

I've been getting interested in the stock market and the finance around them, and the pandemic has been a very interesting time to learn. Something that is particularly interesting me at the moment is what will happen as we come out of the global reaction to Covid-19.
This morning I put together a simple viz looking at stock market index trackers against unemployment rates, namely the UK and US. The next 6 months will certainly be an interesting time as unemployment rate and economic changes are realised!

Do you want to know what Britain's plan for economic recovery is after the hard months since March? 💸
I've created a simple infographic outlining the main points of the Summer Statement released yesterday, find it here: public.tableau.com/profile/n…

A statement on race, equity & the future of @infolabUK
theinformationlab.co.uk/2020…
Seeing the continued systematic racism and violence being shown from the USA's police force is awful, it really seems that a scary amount of the police over there believe themselves above the citizens that they are 'protecting'...
Not really knowing what I can do to effectively show my concerns for this I've taken inspiration from mappingpoliceviolence.org/ and visualised the deaths caused by police in the U.S.

I thought that mappingpoliceviolence.org visualised these figures in very powerful ways so I took a few of their visualisations and Tableau-erised them. Check out their website for some more worrying numbers visualised.
Found my B2S project from February and remembered that I actually really enjoyed creating it and didn't want it just left on my laptop so published the output to @tableaupublic!

Two new sessions available this week, something to keep the regulars coming back. Over 20 people have attended every week of our regular training since the start of lockdown - funfact for the day!
Register for this week here: lnkd.in/dNRwZJU lnkd.in/d2VZbHg

All our free training courses are now online - so if you're using the time at home to learn #tableau or #alteryx there are courses for you every Thursday afternoon (London time). Content changes each week. Register via our meetup community here: meetup.com/Lets-talk-Data/ev…
In the midst of a pandemic, it feels almost cruel to be reminded of another silent killer affecting everyone across the globe. But it is an issue that I really care about, so I went back to my shrinking ice caps dashboard to reviz and complete it:

The first attempt was something created when I was starting my @tableau adventure. It wasn't very good (I tried to go too jazzy) and so coming back to it I wanted to focus on simplicity which I generally believe to be what makes the best visualisations.
