If you believe the circular bar chart is good, why put the same data in a table, too?
Why not just have the "second dose" ππ data in the table?
Or make another circular bar chart βͺπ for the second dose data? 2/5
The colour scheme seems completely arbitrary. Different colours represent anywhere from a 1% difference in "first dose" π percentages (people in their 70s vs. people 80 and older) to a 16% difference (people 18-29 vs. younger teens). 3/5
This circular bar graph βͺπΒ works as well as it does because the percentages have the SAME rank order as age group., both for "first dose" π and "second dose" ππ.
If that wasn't the case, I think this would be MUCH harder to interprets. 4/5
Is a standard bar graph π all that bad? 5/5
Of course, AFTER I tweet I realize π³ that the "second dose" ππ data IS in the circle bar graph βπ at the start of the bars at the 12 h position. π.
Which speaks to the point of this graph being hard to interpret. 6/5

I want to try to articulate ideas that have been running around in my head this week about
how often we treat good #SciComm as an individual problem
instead of a systemic problem. 𧡠1/15
I just released a book that mostly focuses on helping scientists - particularly early career researchers - be better communicators using the poster medium.
I think that's a pretty classic #SciComm concern. "Here's help with your skills!" 2/15
In retrospect, I'm glad I wrote a section for conference organizers.
Earlier this week, I live tweeted a webinar that reminded us how many design (and communication) decisions are made by a few people with power.
Nuance alert! Yawning π₯±Β could be multifunctional, and have physiological and social roles that influence its frequency. 2/4
This reminded me that Wiki has a list of common misconceptions (though yawning isn't on it): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cβ¦ I think every time I go through it I learn at least one 1οΈβ£ new thing! 3/4
From the title and shape, I am guessing that this is meant to be one of those graphics that stand alongside trails as people walk around. πΆββοΈπΆββοΈ
This means most people are there for the scenery and not the information, so it could be a TOUGH crowd to reach! 2/14
With a big, wide, poster like this, people are probably going to just glance at it first.
What attracts their attention first? Is it a good entry point? 3/14
