**Growth In Real Household Income Slows In The First Quarter Of 2025**

"_On the other hand, the United Kingdom and Germany recorded declines in real household income per capita (-1.3% and -0.4%, respectively), as consumer price inflation eroded nominal income growth (Figure 2), while real GDP per capita expanded (0.5% and 0.3%, respectively)._"

I'm really looking forward to WOMBAT 2025 (Workshop Organised by the Monash Business Analytics Team) in Melbourne next month!

I'm excited to be giving the keynote where I'll be talking about designing data visualisations for decision making

This year's keynote by #dataviz whizz Nicola Rennie will explore the creative and technical aspects of designing visualisations that clearly convey data stories.

This week's #TidyTuesday looks at data from Our World in Data on the Gini coefficient (a measure of income inequality) before and after tax

I quite like this style of small multiple chart when there are lots of categories - a zoomed in version with more explanation, then more minimalist versions for the smaller versions. It helps avoiding too much clutter, whilst still giving the extra information users need!

As a data scientist with a background in hard science, Kirk Borne often reminds me of the importance of robust data. His advice today is a great pro-tip for fellow materials researchers:

"Don't just plot your data; visualise the uncertainty! Using tools like #Seaborn can add confidence intervals to your graphs, making your findings more robust. This simple step adds credibility and clarity to your results."

Rant of the day: the y-axis of a graph that does not begin at 0 should be banned. It has nothing to do in #scientific papers. Do not do this, please. It is misleading!
