Data Communication

The UW Master of Science in Data Science program places a premium on strong communication skills. In addition to excellent quantitative abilities, good data scientists must be able to communicate their findings in a way that makes them meaningful to a non-technical audience.
Show us an example of data communication and explain why you think it is great. It could be a static or interactive data visualization, a piece of data journalism, a data sonification, or a video infographic. Why did you choose this example? How would you improve it?
You can select from one of the examples below or you can feel free to select your own example to write about in your response. If you choose your own example, please upload one document that includes your essay response as well as a URL link to the data communication. Examples must be in English. Please limit your response to 500 words.
