This was never more true than in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, when Andy volunteered his time to help us think through layout, color, and clarity for the graphs and dashboard we were using to report COVID-19 data to an understandably anxious public. Andy also provided very wise guidance on tools to use to create these visualizations. Andy will no doubt be able to similarly help your organization communicate data in impactful and interesting ways.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_separator type=”normal”][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]

Infant Mortality, by Race/Ethnicity

Although very simple and unadorned in its presentation, it’s visualizations like these that helped me a couple of decades ago truly understand and appreciate the wide disparities that exist in too many health outcomes. It’s sobering to think that in California, as perhaps elsewhere in the United States, African American/Black infants are nearly three times as likely to die in their first year of life as white infants. Visualizations like these lay out the whole truth for us, and drive us to think about what we can do to help address these inequities.

Shiftworkers by the Numbers

Okay, I was admittedly on the team at Velir that helped create this data story. But it’s the communication firm, Purpose, that gets credit for what makes this data story stand out and why I’m so proud to have been part of the group that created this. To me, the purest form of data storytelling is where you can integrate data with stories about individuals who are experiencing what the facts show. Purpose had poignant videos and quotes at the ready that we could use to enrich this data story. As a result, we were able to create a data story that appealed to both the heart and the head.

You Draw It: Just How Bad Is the Drug Overdose Epidemic?

Nearly every time I speak publicly about lessons I’ve learned over the years in communicating data, I show this very clever New York Times data game, where the reader has to guess the trend line for U.S. deaths for car accidents, guns, H.I.V., and drug overdoses. The audience with whom I’m playing this game will audibly gasp at the steep growth of drug overdose deaths. The fact that they played the game with me out loud – that is, that the New York Times turned this into an interactive exercise – makes this visualization so meaningful. It wouldn’t be nearly as special if the Times merely showed you the completed graph from 1968 through 2016.
