Data visualizations that I enjoyed
I really likes this figure https://twitter.com/meghansharris/status/1453228577256722432?s=20, Meghan did a good job of representing the ages of the runners with a histogram, but also included the individual points below the histogram. When looking at her code Meghan used # to explain the steps and what each thing was for. I found this really helpful for learning what new packages were used for. I also really enjoyed the figure Benjamin made https://twitter.com/BjnNowak/status/1453012193155428353?s=20 as is is very informative but not overwhelming
Data visualizations that need improvement
I think that the figure by Javier could be improved https://twitter.com/TamayoLeiva_J/status/1454101593746460673?s=20. Although it may look cool at first glimpse it is hard to read and I don't think a circle is the best way to display this data, I think a histogram of the different regions compared to each other would be better as you could easily compare between them.
