Stepping away from Twitter, following the elimination of teams for #HumanRights, #accessibility, & ethics in #MachineLearning and #Artificial_Intelligence + severe cuts to teams that monitor for lies and hate speech. https://t.co/PMHrfKeCld

On Friday, Elon Musk decimated a number of key teams at Twitter focused on everything from ethical AI to human rights.

So, the Accessibility Experience Team at Twitter is no longer. We had so much more to do, but we worked hard! There aren't very many people that have had the opportunity to make such an important global platform like Twitter accessible, but we understood the mission.

Yesterday was my last day at Twitter: the entire Human Rights team has been cut from the company. I am enormously proud of the work we did to implement the UN Guiding Principles on Business & Human Rights, to protect those at-risk in global conflicts & crises including Ethiopia,

Analytics behind the @nycmarathon, notably how “crowd science” is a newish field used to figure out starting corrals and minimize the # of runners you pass. This is always a headache for me at a big race, as I try to settle in with runners at my pace. 🏃♂️ https://t.co/QTwLXwmBj9

Marathons don’t happen by themselves; they require months of planning and an expertise in engineering and crowd science. That’s doubly true for the world’s largest race.

#digthisviz 🤩 @allysonfelix is a track legend, an amazing activist for women's equity in sports, and a style icon! I love seeing her compete.
Super happy about finishing my first ever Tableau Public #dataviz and #IronViz submission! I had a lot of fun highlighting the career and accomplishments of @allysonfelix, track & field star and my favorite athlete of all time! Would love any feedback! https://t.co/VgzuYtQJi7

Exchange holiday cards and make new #datafam friends! This is a fun way to connect and get in the holiday spirit. I really enjoyed participating last year. 😀
🚨It's that time of the year again! https://t.co/CSbtrSKlyc
@maf2k and I are excited to bring this back for the 3rd year. In 2021 we had over 100 people in the #datafam participate and I can't wait to see how many we get this year. It's always great to connect with one another😊

Data Visualization rules I live by: - use appropriate titles for each chart - white background is safest - summaries at top of my dashboards - minimal colors - use line charts for time series data - avoid pie charts where possible - data labels over gridlines - ask for feedback

Anyone involved in visualizing financial data is familiar with the "How they make money" charts from @EconomyApp. When I had them once again in my timeline (TY @sarahlovesdata 😉), I challenged myself to implement them in @tableau. And guess what: It's quite easy to do. (1/13)

Hey #datafam! Been a while since I shared public viz but I had a lot of fun creating one for the #IronViz qualifiers! In this #dataviz, I explored the topic of the Globalization of the NBA and how it's inspired the next gen of fans and players. Enjoy! https://t.co/7ZgGzvo503

I'm building something cool, and I'm actually very proud of it 😀 This is a Shiny App (Built with R) to analyze Tableau workbooks. It not only extracts the formulas from calc fields, but also provides a summary of the workbook, what fields are used or not and much more.Stay tuned

I'm starting a new project today. I'll be posting a tiny tip every day this month. If it goes well, maybe I'll shoot for 365 days. Follow along here - https://t.co/kmFpM5w0M4

I struggle with face-blindness (prosopagnosia); I’m just now starting to understand its effects on my life. This essay resonated with me, both in terms of embarrassing gaffes but also handy adjustment strategies I use (notes/sketches, online photos, etc.) https://t.co/KHXk2mqbX5

I wanted to take the opportunity of this year’s #IronViz theme to visualise my childhood game #mancala. I am quite happy that I manage to complete it despite some issues! Thanks so much to @jaxx084 @NicoleKlassen12 & @_CJMayes for your feedback. https://t.co/a8qoAJWYzE
