I teach a class on data science here at Illinois and during the seminar I host a competition for the class called "The Hunt for the Worst Data Visualization."

This was my most popular post on Xitter, so reproducing some of the best submissions from previous years here:

Making starter packs seems to be the hot thing and I noticed that we don't have one for conservation scientists (🧪), so here we go go.bsky.app/3CZDnb2
So if you are an active researcher and would like to be added, reply here. Please no journalists or NGOs, there are other starting lists for that ;)

Nice viz paper for network meta analysis. "Data visualisation approaches for component network meta-analysis: visualising the data structure" bmcmedresmethodol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.... #stats 🧪

CNMA-circle plot with composite bar chart for the delirium prevention dataset. Links between interventions are coloured by the difference between arms. Links are coloured grey when the combination of components that differ between arms are not trialled in any single arm in the network. Multi-arm trials are denoted by multiple thinner connecting links. Numbers at the end of each link represent the number of trial arms for each intervention. The coloured section of the bars represents the number of patients without delirium and the white section the number of patients with delirium.
