The Data Project is a bi-directional program. I provide ideas, background, and some analysis, and you help me fill in the holes.
You see, there’s no way I could hunt down all the relevant details defining these big issues on my own. So I’m asking you to read the articles you’ll find here, perhaps visualize the code for yourself, and then share your expertise, skills, and domain knowledge with the rest of us. I’ll update articles with your insights as they come in – including full attribution where appropriate.
In the meantime, enjoy these data stories:
