How Data Viz Can Save the World
We all have an ethical responsibility to do our data visual justice – to give it more life in our worlds, no matter how big or how small. You might think that taking the time to present your data effectively won’t really make a difference. And that’s the kind of thinking that will ensure it does not. No matter the size of your stage, your data can help us meet the most pressing challenges of our time with a clear message that will persuade others to change their actions and help save the world.
