Hi Thomas, thanks so much for your message and kind words! Thank you for sharing that article as well, it's fascinating. I love the arc diagram that accompanies each bar chart to show the number of possible comparisons! Such a great idea. I often hear people say "oh we're used to this so we understand it" 🤦🏻♀️ I can't wait to show them your article that illustrates the level of complexity they're creating 😅
Hi Evelina,
I'm a big fan of The Plot and love the simplicity & clarity of this post. I'm a life sciences professor & have also had some run ins with ineffective bar graphs & wrote about it recently here: https://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/alda-center/thelink/posts/benefits_and_burdens.php
Would love to know what you think.
Thanks for the great insights!
