Does working less truly make you happier?
Generally, there’s a fairly strong correlation between fewer hours worked per year and OECD Happiness Rating. You can see that countries like Denmark, Norway and Finland–the happiest countries in the world–work hundreds of hours less per year than the OECD Global Average of 1,734. #worklifebalance #job #happiness #findyourjoy #rest #productivity #lifehappiness #relaxed #dayoff #vacation
GAME OF THRONES HISTORICAL TIMELINE (Fishbone Timeline example)
Ever wanted to know the events that lead up to episode one of the record-smashing TV show Game of Thrones? The book series that gave it life, George RR Martin’s ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’, has a rich and detailed world history (which we have by no means scratched the surface of here). #gameofthrones #timeline #georgerrmartin #asongoficeandfire #asoiaf #westeros #mythology #history #reading
Star Wars Timeline
Since Disney taking over the property, we’ve had a constant flow of new Star Wars content, and with new Series and Movies already announced, there is no sign of it slowing down any time soon. With all that content, we know it’s hard to keep track of what is happening when and to whom, so we made this nifty layered timeline to keep track of the narrative order of all the stories from a galaxy far, far away. #starwars #starwarsthehighrepublic #themandalorian #infographic
16-24 is the Loneliest Number
The winter months can be a tough time of year for those without the fortune to have their family and loved ones around them. We often worry for the loneliness of the elderly, but the latest survey by the Office for National Statistics (UK) paints a very different picture–the 16-24 “Gen Z” age group reports feeling the loneliest the most often, while the 65-74 age group feels this way the least of all those questioned. #dataviz #loneliness #infographic
Diversity in the Oscars, 1927-2020
With Bong Joon Ho’s ‘Parasite’ taking home an historic win for Best Picture (the first non-English language film to do so, ever), there is much celebration of the growing diversity of the country of origin of films to win academy awards–but is it all too little too late? Minorities make up 40% of the American populous, however only 8.5% of all Oscar winners are non-white. #diversity #oscars #oscarssowhite #oscarsstillwhite #parasite #awards #bongjoonho #poc #hollywood #acting #movies
The Decade in Babynames
The top 5 baby names stayed consistent for girls since 2010, with only the order of popularity changing from year-to-year. Ultimately, the classic name ‘Emma’ came out on top, with a total of 177,410 babies registered with the name in the US this decade. There was more variety in the popular names for boys, with eleven names in total competing for the top 5 spot. ‘Noah’ was the defining boys’ name of the 2010s with 163,657 babies born bearing this name. #babynames #2010s #trends #names #babies
Alcohol Withdrawal Timeline
Making the decision to detox from an alcohol dependency is a big undertaking, and you or the person going through withdrawal may need extra medical supervision during the first 100 hours. Some of the symptoms listed here (such as seizures, hallucinations and rapid heart rate) might seem frightening, but are very common physiological responses to withdrawal and will usually last only 4-5 days. In rare cases, more moderate detox symptoms can persist for up to one month. #timeline #dataviz #detox

Fisher's iris data (Bubble Chart example)
Today (February 17th) would be statistician Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher’s 130th birthday! Famous for his contributions to biology, creating the foundations for modern statistical science, and (most importantly for datavisualization nerds like us) this Iris flower data set. #data #dataisbeautiful #nerds #flowers #iris #statistics #birthday
When can Liverpool win the premier League?
If Liverpool were to win the next six Premier League games, they could be champions on the 21st of March. As of now, Manchester United holds the earliest Premier League win when they clinched the accolade on 14 April 2001, meaning Liverpool could rip that record from their hands. However, with the club’s history of missed chances and their last league triumph 30 years ago, most Liverpool fans would probably just settle for the title. #Liverpoolfc #lfc #premierleague #pl #dataviz
Employee Satisfaction Scores, 2020
Overall, people are more satisfied at work than ever before–thanks mostly to environmental factors, whether that be colleagues and superiors at work, the office space itself, or the convenience of work location. However, as the job market settles and almost 60% of employees feel a good level of job security, this also means that employees are more likely to move to another role if dissatisfied. #startup #employee #satisfaction #dataviz #visualization #barchart
