Ever wondered "Why are trucks so damn big now?" Me too, so I wrote a story about it. Been working with my partners in crime @JoannMuller and @jared_whalen for over a year on this story full of charts, illos, and 3D scrolly trucks. I hope you like it 🛻axios.com/ford-pickup-tr…

🤘🎸🎵Tonight is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Since 1986, only 9% of inductees have been women. We crunched the numbers @axios to show how and why the process is so lopsided. From @fleecealeece @ruhlmuk and Troy Smith Read: axios.com/rock-and-roll-…

@mjskay @jschwabish @axios @JessicaHullman no that was done in illustrator

Really nice dot plot--with confidence bounds!--from @axios (@W_R_Chase). I especially like reviewing the changes from the academic paper (left) to the Axios version (right). Links: axios.com/2023/10/14/sup… osf.io/preprints/soca… /cc @JessicaHullman @mjskay

Since the start of fighting between Hamas and Israel, the country's Iron Dome missile defense system has likely intercepted thousands of rockets and missiles launched from Gaza. Here's how the multibillion-dollar system works. trib.al/rfWeANl

@kow_andrzej @FuckCarsReddit @axios @criticalurban The point of this graph is how the ratio of cabs to beds has changed. Compared to the 1970 truck the length has not changed drastically, but the cabs got bigger and beds got smaller. Also modern trucks are taller and heavier.

@FuckCarsReddit @axios @W_R_Chase I was wondering why these cars are placed in such way. Now I know - to hide the fact they are not much bigger now... if at all. @criticalurban, what do you think?

a little before, middle, and after from a column for @AxiosVisuals // thanks to the team as always for edits especially jacque coming in with the gradient idea

This is “Martin.” At 7:20am he watches TV. At 10:15am he gets groceries. At noon he eats lunch. At 5:10pm he watches more TV. At 8:30pm he goes to bed. “Martin” lives a pretty isolated life. Find out why this matters in our newest piece by @alv9n. pudding.cool/2023/09/invisi…

El Niño, occurring about once every two to seven years, turbocharges the rate of human-caused climate change by releasing substantial heat stored in the deeper oceans and moving it into the atmosphere. Explore its impacts on global weather patterns 👇 trib.al/v54zhns

@JGF92 that's just Mapbox actually, they have a globe projection now

@W_R_Chase Great job, congrats. I am very curious to know how you managed to visualize that on the globe? It's Three JS?

Really proud of my team for this explainer on El Niño! Most stories like this use abstracted diagrams, which work well, but we wanted to do something different, so we pulled actual data for each of these weather patterns from past El Niño events 🌎 👉axios.com/el-nino-weathe…

Congrats to @W_R_Chase, Jared Whalen and @JoannMuller for being short-listed in the #IIBAwards for their amazing visual story, Pickup Trucks: From Workhorse to Joyride @axios axios.com/ford-pickup-tr…

All the credit to @ruhlmuk for leading the project, design, and dev. @erindataviz for wading through arcane government weather data and somehow turning it into beautiful images. And @afreedma for reporting, words and science expertise

With autumn right around the corner, here's when and where to see peak fall foliage. trib.al/zXVzZTT

Have you ever wondered how a day in the life of a dataviz designer looks like? ⏰ We got inspired by @visualisingdata's recent blog post, and present you, not one, but four different days. One with each of our mentors ! youtu.be/k-AOXCD0a7g

@Jasonforrestftw @McKinsey @inside_outsider Cheers!

Big news - I was designated an Associate Partner at @McKinsey! Kind of a big deal, certainly a promotion, but really a validation of the value of data visualization. Also - I got new photos! Here's my "business professional" picture by Mark Shaw @inside_outsider! Go hire him!!
