Getting started

I read a lot of articles and blog posts about data, I have a lot of thoughts about data, and I especially have a lot of questions about data. I have snippets of little projects that try to answer some of those questions. I also have a few opinions—data should be made accessible to general audiences, especially when it’s about them. Data can be a powerful tool for communities to understand and take care of themselves, but it can also be used to inflict harm and spread disinformation. Science isn’t neutral. Black lives matter. And there’s no reason not to make data pretty.
