    The data visualization examples in this lecture are amazing. There is a visualization of wars this century using poppies. Elements of the #MeToo movement using dandelions. David Bowie’s Space Oddity (!) using vinyl records. As well as other examples, such as overlying cases on maps to solve the origin of a historical cholera outbreak in London, and one showing the amount of various types of water on earth.

    For a constant flow of data visualizations of varying qualities (but often quite good!) see reddit’s DataIsBeautiful sub. (Sorry to referrence reddit here! But that’s where it is.)
